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. […]

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.

Facebook’s Change is a Lesson in Interface Design

There are a couple of things I wanted to tackle this week, one was Facebook’s upcoming change to tabs and I wanted to continue talking about interface design and what I have been learning in my class. Thankfully they kind of intersected and allowed me to look at them together.
In case you haven’t heard Facebook […]

How is social networking like a chamber of commerce meeting?

The same things that make you successful at your local chamber of commerce are going to make you successful networking online.
Usually when I say that people gasp, so I’ll wait in case you need to tell your monitor I’m full of it.
Okay, now that we have that out of our system, let me explain. Sure […]

Relational Networking: More Mind, Less Time, More Connections

Another guest post for today, this is from the wonderful Liz Strauss.
I belong to several social networking sites. I follow an active list of 700+ Chicagoans, and I attend a variety of events where networking takes place. Over the past few months one thing has become abundantly.
It’s exhausting to watch people networking. […]

Facebook as a Promotional Tool is Overvalued

I want to buy into Facebook, I really do. I know that the site has been trending well and all the tech geeks love it to no end. It is talked about all over social media blogs and has been the hot topic for 8-10 months now. But from a purely promotional side I just […]
