Facebook has lost its lustre

I thought it was just me.
I thought that I was the only one not visiting facebook, not caring about event invites, updates or status updates. I find myself not checking into facebook for days on end. I don’t even look at the email notices that I get. Hell, I barely even check that account anymore. […]

The new recruitment

Yesterday’s post about how I got my gig with b5 Media got me thinking. Social Media is obviously the new way companies are looking for employees and people are looking for work. Not only are companies googling their potential employees; the potential employees are googling their companies.
Geoff Livingston, author of Now is Gone, recently appeared […]

Missing the point

I was basking in the sunshine yesterday, more or less participating in a client’s strategy meeting. (Good news is, they were basking in the sun too - it was a very lazy strategy meeting on our rooftop deck!) We were talking about the upcoming beta launch and how we were going to use Twitter with […]

The Importance of Keeping Your Ratio Balanced on Twitter

Since I have been working a lot with twitter recently I have been trying to make an effort to keep my followers/following ratio balanced.

Apparently Lacy Isn’t the Problem

I just saw the post on Youtube talking to Lacy about the interview. While the whole thing is overblown Lacy comes of as a… well frankly as an egotistical bitch. Some of the fault does fall on her shoulders… it wasn’t all on the audience. Plus when the audience does turn against you it […]

The SXSW Mark Zuckerberg vs. Sarah Lacy Fiasco or Was It?

Apparently according to some people like Michael Arrington at TechCrunch the whole fiasco about the keynote address at SXSW was overblown. Here is the video of the interview:

I waited to see the interview before I got too excited over the fallout of the interview that I saw on twitter.

What Happens When You Add 1000 People on Twitter

Last weekend in a fit of boredom and procrastination I decided to follow around 1000 Twitter members on my twitter account just to see what would happen. It took me about an hour and a half to add 1000 members but it gave me something to do besides school work and unpacking.
Statistically the results can […]

Original Social Networking Superstars

About a year ago, when you typed anything into Google, there would inevitably be an entry from MySpace right up there on the top of the results. It was annoying, because the results were usually less than useful, but it made MySpace the place to be seen online - even for business owners.
Times change, however, […]

Twitter Me This … And Be Informed

Guest Post from Jason Falls of SocialMediaExplorer.com
Twitter had a breakout 2007. The microblogging software proved that showing up at SouthXSouthwest can put your startup squarely on the map. The premise - simply answering the question, “What are you doing?” in 140 characters or less for all to see - sounded dumb. Then the thinkers […]
