Idaho Republicans disregard social media at their own peril

I would like to reiterate my party agnostic stance (I know they exists I just don’t believe in either of them). I only share this as a great social media example in action.
I made a prediction a year and a half ago that Idaho Republicans would loose a record number of races to the Democrats […]

How has Twitter stayed #1 despite themselves?

And why it will stay there.
The simple answer is, network effect. Yes, I am stating the overly obvious answer that Twitter is surviving because of it’s network. But not just any network, the fact that Twitter, like the rest of the Web is a scale-free network, is saving it.

I haven’t been as active on this blog lately for a lot of reasons and it may get even quieter for a while.
