Will Geolocation Make Us Feel Safer?
Geolocation as we know it today is not what we will know it as 5 years from now. Right now it’s all games and coupons but the implications of geolocation go way beyond retail (although the impact it will have on retail shouldn’t be underestimated). Kristen Grant, on my team, pointed out one day that [...]
Social Media is the Infrastructure for Social Business
Do you remember the IT revolution? I barely do. But I’ve worked in Enterprise tech long enough to have filled in the blanks on what I was too young to see in the 80′s. Things started off as these one off efforts developed by hackers and cowboy programmers. (Not literal cowboys, of course, but for some reason [...]

The Mobile Social Media Developments That Really Matter
We live in a bubble. A shiny bouncy little digitally happy/snarky bubble. Does it really matter which operating system, mobile phone, app market, browser or cloud service has the largest market share? Not really. What the various companies do with that market share is only slightly more relevant. What’s REALLY important is how people, not geeks [...]
Why Doesn’t the Kindle Play Music?
Amazon is announcing a new, better, lighter, cheaper Kindle. With the new version of the Kindle, I’m finally ready to break down and buy one. but something struck me as odd.

As I said then: “When I’m *predicting the future* I find it helpful to look at the recent and recently past developments of an industry.” I think sometimes us bloggers jump to quickly in to trying to provide our readers with the answers instead of [...]

UGC includes any site where the site’s users and visitors can write and publish content, whether it is video content, blog posts, advice websites, and the like. But as sites filled with [...]
Content Farms Are Affecting News, Journalism, Search and Marketing [10 Links]
Content Farms have been around for a long time in one form or another. They are evolving rapidly and the advancements they make are starting to bleed over into the broader field of journalism, content and marketing. You can see this evidenced in developments like Computational Reporting. When I’m *predicting the future* I find it [...]
3 Rockstar Blogs To Read [July]
This month I wanted to focus on 3 Rockstar Bloggers and their “other” blogs. The 3 bloggers in question are actually professional bloggers but they keep other blogs for their personal musings. You’ll see what I mean. Marshall Kirkpatrick Marshall is the lead writer and co-editor for Read Write Web, probably my favorite of the [...]
The Joy Connection and Good Social Capital
In my Social Capital system everything starts with time; it’s the fundamental currency that I trade on. As example: It can take an author fifteen-years to write a book about a four-hundred-year-era that a reader ingests over a three-day-weekend.
