As Twitter Takes Over IM, We Need Clients with Friendly Nicknames

As Twitter Takes Over IM, We Need Clients with Friendly Nicknames

By Zoli Erdos on March 30, 2010

It used to be Yahoo, MSN or AOL chat. Then Skype took over – it is my default IM system now, despite it’s obvious flaws. But nowadays the fastest way to reach most of my contacts is DM on Twitter.  That is if I can remember their Twitter account names. While @firstnamelastname has become a […]

Syncronicity, Availability and the Perils of Instant Gratification

Syncronicity, Availability and the Perils of Instant Gratification

By Ben Kepes on January 11, 2010

I came across a TED presentation the other day that discussed our “culture of availability” and our obligation to that availability. It’s an interesting presentation and worth a watch (see below): It got me thinking about synchronicity and reflecting upon some example of Google Wave that were showcased a few months ago at the San […]

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

By Zoli Erdos on October 15, 2009

Nowadays the only context we hear about Skype is the legal fight (care to bet how long it will take for the previous Net Celebs to become the Hated Greedy Ones who try to sc**w all of us?) – I would much rather read about new features, improvements. After all, Skype is the single most […]

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions

By Zoli Erdos on October 1, 2008

First, kudos to Skype – for listening to customers, many of whom considered the first Skype 4.0 beta’s full-screen a deal-breaker.  Yes, they listened and gave us a compact view, somewhat similar to good old 3.x, which is why I installed it in the first place, but after an hour or so I am ready […]

Email is Still Not Dead, Thank You.

Email is Still Not Dead, Thank You.

By Zoli Erdos on September 17, 2008

Yet-another-email-is-dead article, this time on SocialMediaToday, originally on OnlineMarketerBlog.  The author adds  Microblogging's increasing popularity to the  standard "reusable" arguments: people  using IM, or increasingly SMS, and most recently Facebook instead of email which they find cumbersome, slow and unreliable – hence email usage will decline. I beg to disagree as I did before and […]
