Maybe Just Another Twitter App, But Lazyscope Offers A Better Glimpse At Links
Just when you thought the Twitter desktop application marketplace couldn’t get any more cluttered, another “competitor” enters the ring to rival that of app powerhouses, Seesmic Desktop and Tweetdeck (among others). But while you might think it’s just another desktop application to download, it throws in a unique twist – it throws in some more […]
The State of Cloud Computing Shows It’s Still Growing & Viable
Earlier this summer, I was given a great opportunity to work with the incredible team from JESS3 on an awesome project for a major brand. In doing so, I was also “forced” to learn about a new area of the Internet that I normally would not have found myself accustomed to knowing – even though […]
The Internet Does Not Grant You Entitlement Over People
A few days ago, my good friend Liza Sperling published a post that talked about customer service and raised an interesting point on how people viewed customer service in the world of social media and the Internet. Over the past few months, I’ve seen companies and people go to Twitter and social media to rant […]
Facebook Gives Away Its Brand To 500 Million Users Who Could Care Less About Their Email Address
So by now we all know that Facebook has begun rolling out a new way of handling communication and messaging to its users.

Putting All Your Eggs In One Basket: How Will Klout Survive Twitter?
Last week, Mashable reported on Evan Williams announcement at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco that they had their own version of Klout. And who’s surprised by that?

Here We Go Again. This Time I’m Changing The Way I Do Business.
It’s been quite a week here in San Francisco – hasn’t it? First the San Francisco Giants win the World Series, 1 million fans attend the city’s largest parade celebrating the championship and, for me, this was the first week in what was a lifelong dream of mine since I first moved to the city: […]

It’s always fascinating to see how startups are growing. In San Francisco, there are a lot of technology companies being created practically every week or every month. Some fail and others succeed. But it’s pretty astonishing to see how one company has ballooned to such success over the course of the past few years only […]
Judging Your Klout After A Product Relies On Influencers & Then Goes Bust
About a month ago, I received an email from the influence metric company Klout that said that I was eligible for an exclusive Klout perk. What I received was an opportunity to get a sneak preview at a new show distributed by FOX called Lone Star and what this meant was that FOX would ship […]
Blocking UberCab Shows Incumbent Industries Need To Work With Disruptors
This afternoon, TechCrunch reported that San Francisco startup UberCab was issued a cease and desist order by San Francisco’s Metro Transit Authority and the Public Utilities Commission which should result in effectively shuttering the startups ability to even function. I first heard about UberCab while at the SF App Showcase in San Francisco where the […]
MySpace’s Reinvents Itself Slightly, But Skepticism Remains On Future
October has been filled with several different logo changes, some that may have been denounced by the public and now another major change is set to emerge, specifically in the social networking world.
