Facebook Changes the Rules. Again
For a site that is often purported to be all warm and fuzzy, full of social enthusiasm and community they don’t seem to get the idea of community and camaraderie very well at Facebook. First there was the privacy policy debacle, then there was the whole thing about not using contests to grow your Fbook [...]

10. November 2009
Twitter and LinkedIn announced a new partnership yesterday to bring the two apps together for the first time. You’ll be able to update your status on LinkedIn and have it go out to Twitter or send your tweets out to your LinkedIn connections. just as you can do now with blog updates.

Twitter- Where’s the conversation?
13. September 2009
It’s funny how the questions I get from my network seem to come in waves. This week I got a load of people asking me what had happened to the “old” Twitter where we bantered with our friends, made new ones and had back and forth conversations as in a typical face to face.
The conversations [...]
It’s not all about social media at SXSW
2. September 2009
With all the talk about Twitter grades and the social media elite it’s sobering to look through the “hot” list form SXSW and see the proposals currently in the top of the voting. Sure, I looked for my proposals first and no, they weren’t on the hot list, but more importantly neither were many of [...]

12. August 2009
When The Speakers Group recently posted a Top 10 list of social media speakers they really put their foot in it. Not only were there no women listed, they were accused of moderating out comments critical of the list. NOT mind you, that the list didn’t have some amazing speakers on it, or that women [...]

3. July 2009
The question of how many friends you can effectively communicate with goes round and round in social media circles.

3. June 2009
It’s funny how social media sites seem to move in waves. Lately I’ve been doing more speaking and presentations on social media, and going to lots of conferences, which has led to a huge swell in Linkedin invites. So I’ve been spending a lot of time on the site and learning some new tricks. [...]

14. May 2009
I know I’ve told you it’s important to build a network of social media profiles to grow your visibility, deliver your message more broadly and gain more opportunities to learn from your connections, but I do not subscribe to the belief that mega-networks really pay off. At least not all by themselves. That said, [...]

6. May 2009
If you were around back in the early days of the web, you probably had conversations on IRC. Everybody had cute IRC names and we had raging conversations about all kinds of things. Chat rooms popped up all over the place and the only people who could find them either knew how to search or [...]

25. April 2009
Twine is a social bookmarking site that allows you to save your bookmarks, then group them in a way that makes sense to you and let your friends discuss them. There’s been a lot of marketing buzz about Twine taking over the bookmarking space, but frankly I signed up a while back and didn’t really [...]
