Consequences far outweigh the positives with spamming social data streams

By Dan Morrill on September 1, 2011

A Multi Service approach to social media

A Multi Service approach to social media

By Dan Morrill on August 30, 2011

When I first started Techwag in 2005, the reliance on Google as a primary source of traffic was the most important design consideration. While I use WordPress, and people have a lot of opinions about the suitability of WordPress, it is a blog first and foremost. Techwag is a blog, it has been a blog […]

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

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

By Dan Morrill on August 26, 2011

Usually I am not one to ask for much when it comes to someone else’s system, but I am seeing in my friends dialog that there is a need for pages. Huddles are good, but if you have ever taught on line for even so much as three seconds, you know how hard it is […]

Twitter spam – a problem? No. Curation is here

By Martijn Linssen on July 13, 2011

A few times a day, I get a tweet directed at me from someone I don’t know, who neither offers something related to what I have recently tweeted. The first few times that happened, a few months ago, I clicked the URL and ended up at some site after being redirected via more than a […]

The lifecycle and stages of a social network

The lifecycle and stages of a social network

By Martijn Linssen on July 8, 2011

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 […]

Why Twitter Favorites Aren’t Really Your Favorite Tweets

Why Twitter Favorites Aren’t Really Your Favorite Tweets

By Mark Suster on June 10, 2011

  Twitter is an ephemeral service. It’s what I love about Twitter. When I’m in the mood to consume what my world is telling me right now I can “tune in” to Twitter and digest the rapid stream. I don’t really worry about missing stuff. If somebody wanted me to see something they’d @ message […]

Chatting Cars and Enterprise Software

By Zoli Erdos on May 23, 2011

Today’s big news is Salesforce Teaming up with Toyota to create a private social network where you can befriend your car and it will “tweet” you when it’s thirsty, need a checkup etc..etc..etc – see the details from @Krishnan’s post.  The opportunities are really endless – more on that later.   I have to get something […]

Facebook and T-Mobile Launch Bobsled. With Huge Privacy Glitch. Or is it By Design? Skype, Google Voice and Telcos Beware, Anyway…

By Zoli Erdos on April 19, 2011

Out of left field, T-Mobile and Facebook launched Bobsled, a VOIP service that allows voice calls to anyone on your Facebook list for free.  At this moment the entire blogging world is busy writing about it, so I skip the basics… and just run to some funny experience while testing it. First, here’s how you […]

…so said Tamsen McMahon on April 7th. Funny as it is, there’s a typo in the tweet – did or can you spot it? I did, and couldn’t resist: It’s “its” and not “it’s” > RT @tamadear: (…) your impression of a company and it’s representatives. To wit, typos on presentation slides. Caught in the […]

One of the pressing questions surrounding social media these days is it’s applicability to recruiting and other people management processes within an organization.  Specifically, there is an ethics debate around how much of the Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter data are employers allowed to discover, request and use in the hiring process.  Today I see organizations […]

Why BleacherReport.com is Trouncing ESPN.com by using Social Business Principles

Why BleacherReport.com is Trouncing ESPN.com by using Social Business Principles

By Mark Fidelman on March 8, 2011

How can a small start-up compete with a much larger sports media powerhouse?  Is it the look and feel of the sites? The user experience?  The quality of the articles?    Not from my perspective.  In fact, on the surface the sites look similar.  Yet the self proclaimed open source sports network BleacherReport.com is clearly growing […]

I’m sticking with Disqus. Here’s Why

I’m sticking with Disqus. Here’s Why

By Mark Suster on March 7, 2011

  I’ve written before about my love for Disqus. I’m not an investor – I just love the product. So now Facebook has a new commenting system. They’ve been around for a while and when they first announced this initiative I knew the day would come when people would start saying, “should I replace Disqus?” […]
