Tips For Google+ Hangouts
I have been using Google+ hangouts ever since it came out and in the past couple of months, I have used it to effectively run online panel discussions on various topics of interest. In fact, I see Google+ Hangouts and Youtube broadcasting as a killer of Podcasts (if it is not dead already). It can […]

Google+ Hangouts On Air and SMBs
Yesterday Google unwrapped the Google+ Hangouts on Air to general public with relatively little fanfare. This is part of Google’s social strategy but the product has the potential to disrupt many startups in the space, especially the ones targeting consumers and SMBs. Google could flex their Youtube muscle to literally shove them away. Google+ hangouts […]

1990s Called And Wanted Their AOL Back
On Saturday, Robert Scoble made a blog post declaring the death of open web. In the post Robert argued that the open web as we know now is dying and no one can save it from the walled gardens of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.. John, where were you? At least Dave has been consistently trying […]

The Google Plus 1 Tab looks a lot like Stumble Upon

Pages for Google Plus are truly needed but we also need to talk about identity

Google Plus, the Best Way to Duplicate Your Content
So I’ve been playing around with Google + since it came (a few weeks now?) and I’m starting to notice something interesting. People are posting the same content on Google + that they are posting on Twitter, Facebook, and on other social channels. I click on someone’s Twitter profile and they share a link, the […]

The lifecycle and stages of a social network
Thanks to Scott Berkun for triggering me here, and of course this was related to Google+: @drmstream there is a blog post waiting to be written about the lifecycle/stages of a social network. There is. And this is one. I don’t believe in having to behave differently on social networks. I believe that we all […]
Sorry Facebook, Here’s Why Google+ Plus is Better
By Mark Fidelman on July 11, 2011
