Digg’s Sailing Off-Course & Needs To Find A Captain To Steer It
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 […]
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.

Backlash Imminent: Something Jason Calacanis Said About Blogging Made Sense
A while ago I read an interesting article on The Next Web and also on the Guardian that talked about serial entrepreneur Jason Calacanis’ recent news that he was planning on starting his own conference called the Launch Conference that would rival that of TechCrunch Disrupt. I must admit that the point that I’m about […]
Rick Sanchez, CNN’s Social Media Host, Screws Up & Now You Worry About The Community

Thanks Zuckerberg: I Applaud Your Philanthropy Despite Your Motives
So by now you probably have heard that Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has done something pretty remarkable. Last week, he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show on the heels of the upcoming release of The Social Network, an unofficial look at how the social network was started. But it wasn’t to argue against the movie or […]
Seven Video Interviews That Showcase The Power of Social Media

While I thoroughly enjoyed the presenters who gave rousing talks about how technology has affected their lives and their jobs, I took to the hallway to find out what […]
The Social Media Bill of Rights for Customers
In my last post, I raised an interesting point about how one brand was not truly understanding how Twitter worked. And this has led me to write this follow-up post talking about what brands should expect to give to their customers. Just like the airline industry has started to implement “passenger bill of rights”, so […]
Brands That Are All A’Twitter But Not Tweeting Shows No Understanding
