Last year, I contributed some predications for RWW’s post about what would happen in 2009. How did I do? Let’s take a look.. 1. Twitter announces they have a plan to make money. They do. Well, they didn’t exactly “announce” they had a money-making plan, but the search deals with Bing and Google that launched [...]
Many people have made arguments for the productive uses of FriendFeed, noting its liveblogging rooms, potential for blog fodder, community building aspects, etc. Those are all great reasons to love the site, but at the end of the day, I still see FriendFeed as a timesuck. A huge, glorious, fabulous, incredible timesuck. I’ve been spending [...]
Like most of you, I’d consider myself a technology addict. As Charlie recently noticed, I blog a lot yet somehow find myself immersed in social media a good bit too. Keeping up is a challenge, and I’ll admit that finding balance is a constant challenge. As I wrote today on ReadWriteWeb, technology really is both [...]
I just discovered Samepoint courtesy of Killer Startups, and I was intrigued. A social conversation tracker? Sounds like something I want to check out. The site allows you to perform searches across the social web including Facebook, Friendster, Diigo, StumbleUpon, FriendFeed, Yelp, Twitter, MySpace, Simpy, Mister Wong, Blogmarks, and Reddit…but oddly, not Twitter. The site [...]

When I was researching my RWW post this morning: “According to Study, Half of U.S. Adults Use Social Media,†I came across a pretty great slideshow on social media put out by Universal McCann (see below). There’s a huge amount of data in there, so I thought it was worth sharing. Enjoy! Universal Mccann International [...]
After the initial rush to try out Identi.ca, not everyone stuck around. Why? Maybe it’s because Twitter started stabilizing and no longer was Identi.ca needed as a backup to Twitter. Or maybe it was a shiny new thing for some, but after playing with it, the shininess wore off. Whatever the reason, it seemed that [...]
You know how this goes – you mark it for later and then don’t get around to it. Maybe these wouldn’t have filled out an entire blog post or maybe there’s not that much to say about them, but they’re worth a mention nonetheless. They’re kind of awesome. This is no spliced in del.icio.us link [...]
I’ve been looking into ways to get my followers in sync between the various services I’m using, mainly FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook, and Identi.ca. It’s not easy. Of course there’s the Twitter 2 FriendFeed Importer, but ultimately, adding contacts is still very much a manual process these days. I tend to batch this process on a [...]
After my initial Identi.ca lovefest, I quickly became swamped with invites to connect with others on the service (I’m still working through my inbox on those, by the way – someone build me a “follow my followers app?â€). Of course, once you have followers and friends, you have conversations. And god forbid you have a [...]
