August 11, 2009 by Paul Chaney with 115 views

I'm reading lots of blog posts about Facebook's acquisition of Friendfeed and a number of bloggers are saying the same thing -- it's time to rethink our approach to social media. Here are three examples:"There's a lesson in Friendfeed's sale for all of us who spend time with social media, interact with customers online, or guide... [read more]

The Age of the Stream is Upon Us, Part II

August 11, 2009 by Paul Chaney with 404 views

When I wrote about the age of the lifestream being upon us, little did I know what was about to happen just around the corner with Facebook's acquisition of Friendfeed. Call the title of my post the understatement of the century, for this incident has changed the game completely and immediately. While I attempt to wrap my brain... [read more]

The Age of the Stream is Upon Us

August 9, 2009 by Paul Chaney with 121 views

As you may know, Steve Rubel has ceased publishing to his long-tenured blog Micropersuasion, in favor of using Posterous to lifestream. According to Steve, lifestreaming is where it's at, and I've no reason to argue otherwise. If that's truly the case, then where does that leave the rest of us? Steve has admitted he's out on the...

July 30, 2009 by Kate Carruthers with 162 views

Looking back to 2007 – and it seems so long ago now – social networking was just starting to get a bit of buzz happening. Some of the social networks that we were talking about in 2007 included Bebo, MySpace, Second Life, and YouTube. Back in those days we were all talking about Second Life, and pondering how it might revolutionize... [read more]

The old next big thing

July 11, 2009 by Kate Carruthers with 93 views

I can recall when both Twitter & Friendfeed were talked about as the next big thing. But that was a long time in the distant past (almost 12 months ago) and an aeon in internet terms. Thomas Hawk shared an interesting chart showing the growth of these two products over the past 12 months. It is interesting to ponder why one is... [read more]

The Next Big Thing is…

June 11, 2009 by Tac Anderson with 203 views

“What’s the next big thing?” I get this question a lot. I mean seriously a lot. I usually talk about some new shiny object on the verge of being discovered by the main stream. Sometimes I’m right: Blogging, Twitter FriendFeed (yet to be realized). Sometimes I’m wrong: BrightKite (although it’s not too late). On Monday I got to... [read more]

Connecting Real Time To Your Twitter Connections Using Twtvite

May 26, 2009 by Krishna De with 135 views

Social networking and connecting to new contacts and old friends on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter is terrific, but connections online don’t have to remain online. You might develop that relationship through email, then a Skype call and may be even a meeting face to face. At the IIA Congress recently it was great to meet people in... [read more]

On Being a Human Filter

May 17, 2009 by Tac Anderson with 231 views

I read a lot of blog posts. Not as many as some but more than most. Of the articles I read I ’share’ the ones that I find most interesting. Those shared items get pushed to my FriendFeed account which then in turn get pushed to my Twitter account and flow in to my Facebook. Connecting your WorkStream to you LifeStream So while I seem...

May 11, 2009 by Tac Anderson with 208 views

Image via WikipediaFarhad Manjoo over at Slate really kicked up a storm in a tea cup 2 weeks ago (wow, that was a really bad mixed metaphor) with his Kill Your RSS Reader post. Mashable covered it and did a poll of their users use of RSS. I covered the Mashable post. WebWorkerDaily included my post in their post about RSS and social... [read more]

Where are all the good long tail blogs

April 28, 2009 by Tac Anderson with 214 views

Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I love blogs. I love blogging. Hell, my license plate even says BLOGGER (pretty sure I won’t be able to score that one when I move to Seattle). My biggest complaint is finding fresh new voices with fresh new ideas. Marketing and Tech blogs have been around just as long as blogging itself. There are... [read more]
