Scoble Throws in the Twitter Towel

I just saw Robert Scoble present at the Media Relations Summit and a big part of his presentation was about Twitter. Then today this popped up.
Twitter
Robert Scoble Scobleizer I just told @ev to turn off my autofollow script. 20,000 followers is enough. I’m seeing one new Tweet every second, I can’t deal with more.

Social Media and Theology

PC(USA) - Office of Theological Education - Social Media Presentation
I just found out that the Office of Theological Education for the Presbyterian Church used my New Media vs Web 2.0 definition for a presentation.  It’s always a little surprising to me what happens to your content when you put it out there.

Blogs, Ad Networks and the future of the Associated Press

I first mentioned a rumor reported on TechCrunch about Federated Media receiving $50 Million in funding. TechCrunch reports that the rumor is indeed true. It will be fascinating to see what they do with the money. While they aren’t saying just yet, I’m certain that they do have a plan. […]

We still need definitions before metrics.

This is an absolutely amazing post By Ross. I’d pull quote the whole article but here’s a start. Do yourself a favor and go read the whole thing and then send it to everyone in your marketing group and then every marketing manager in your company.

Is Ubuntu becoming the generic Linux distro?

I run Ubuntu on a laptop at home. It’s what I’ve been using to teach myself some basic coding skills. I love it. While not quite perfect it’s far and away the best Linux platform for your “Linux Curious” n00b (like me).
I think that it could be better and in order for […]

Not “Noteable” Enough for Wikipedia? Biographicon Wants You

I’m so doing this. I’ve often thought it would be cool to have a wiki entry to list all the stuff that Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn don’t cover. Ars lists a few other sites, I’ll have to check a few of them out first before picking one.
“Go on, admit it: you have at […]

The Age Of Conversation Bum Rush (For A Very Good Cause)

This is a very interesting concept. If you haven’t heard about it yet, 100 bloggers each volunteered to write 1 page. Today they are asking everyone buy, vote or review the book on Amazon to push the book up the Amazon charts for the day. Plus all proceeds go to charity.
“We are […]

H&R does it with Twitter but do their accountants do it?

Social Media Case Study: Blatantly Advertising … And Getting Away With It | Social Media Explorer
As it turns out, H&R Block not only gets the outreach portion of it, but has figured out a way to be 100-percent, totally marketing/advertising to people using social media tools and somehow pull it off. No, I wasn’t sure […]

TechCrunch “We Don’t Do Reprints”

Qorvis Communications (with the winning tag line”Break on Through”) asks TechCrunch for a reprint of one of their articles. Seriously? In this day and age, that’s just pathetic.
First off TechCrunch has a ‘Print Posts’ next to each article, so they could have printed it themselves and how can you ask for a reprint of […]

Death by Success

One possible outcome of new media campaigns that I hadn’t anticipate before is what I’m calling Death by Success.
The outcome is nothing new. Many project managers in many companies recognize instantly what it is that I’m talking about. You try a “pilot” campaign and things go better than expected. From here one […]
