Privacy On The Internet Is Misunderstood

With the recent Facebook announcements, the Google Buzz launch debacle and the Blippy credit card mess, Privacy is being constantly talked about. If you look at those three events, we have three very different definitions of privacy. Blippy’s issue was thankfully limited to a handful of credit card numbers. However, when your credit card number… Read More Privacy On The Internet Is Misunderstood

Twitter Is Fighting With Their Users For Metadata

Twitter is placing itself in an interesting position. They love the growth of their user base, but sometimes they do not love the way people use the application. A simple example of this is the retweet. The community driven idea is copying someone’s tweet and prepending it with “RT” and possibly adding a short comment.… Read More Twitter Is Fighting With Their Users For Metadata

Twitter Lists Are Not About Discovery

Twitter lists have been available now for a short while and the blogosphere has been talking about them constantly. We have heard the reasoning behind much of it, like aiding user discovery and having users define their own suggested users list. Maybe I am getting crankier as I age, but I call bullshit. This has… Read More Twitter Lists Are Not About Discovery

Are You Flirting With Burnout And Disaster?

With the US population celebrating Labor Day today, I figured I would talk about one of the dangers of work, entrepreneurship and social media. The danger I speak of is “burnout” and the potential disaster it can cause. Burnout has always been a danger for people working in high stress environments, or those people working… Read More Are You Flirting With Burnout And Disaster?

RSS, Human Filters And Real Time Streams

It has been a few months since the “RSS IS DEAD!” meme popped up, but the release of some new tools has sparked conversation again. I am ignoring the people who just say that they use Twitter to get their news, because you can easily miss too much no matter how diligent you watch your… Read More RSS, Human Filters And Real Time Streams

Yet Another Call For A Federated Twitter

Unless you live under a rock, you have heard that there were massive DDOS attacks that affected Twitter, Facebook and a few other sites. The sites affected had varying degrees of success in staying functional, but Twitter seemed to be the hardest hit. Given that Twitter was having issues for most of the day, many… Read More Yet Another Call For A Federated Twitter

Sorry Twitter, Facebook Is The Data Gold Mine

I have been writing a lot about Twitter and Facebook lately. This is because I have started to see some trends in the way people are using the sites, and Facebook has been in the news lately. Sometimes, you write a post that makes a lot of sense, like my Twitter data mine post, and… Read More Sorry Twitter, Facebook Is The Data Gold Mine

It Is All About Money

It seems that this weekend’s bitchmeme is courtesy of Robert Scoble‘s actions on Twitter. Louis Gray caught Mr. Scoble with his hand in the cookie jar: Tonight, I noticed and asked Robert myself if this was his “FriendFeed revenue strategy”. His answer? “You caught me red handed!” Louis’ only complaint was that Robert did not… Read More It Is All About Money

Overnight Success And FriendFeed Needs

It was an interesting weekend with the Twitter phishing and hacking and the FriendFeed bitchmeme. I was trying to avoid getting involved until I read Paul Buchheit’s post. First, I want to point out something that is very important. As he states in the title of his post, “Overnight success takes a long time”. I… Read More Overnight Success And FriendFeed Needs

Shocking News: People Use Twitter Differently

I was wondering when we would have a really solid bitchmeme. Well, everyone is obviously in the holiday spirit because we have a new bitchmeme, Twitter authority and searching. As is typical of the bitchmemes, people are focusing on what is being said, not the actual problems. Robert Scoble puts forth some interesting data points… Read More Shocking News: People Use Twitter Differently
