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.
For background on this episode of […]
I think it’s well established that I geek out about weird things when it comes to content/communication on the Web. So I hope you’ll bear with me while I yet again show my geeky side.
For those of you not familiar with URL shorteners; A URL shortener is a servive that takes really long URL’s and […]
I haven’t been as active on this blog lately for a lot of reasons and it may get even quieter for a while.
I’ve been blogging a lot on my locally focused tech blog, TechBoise.
I’ve still been relatively active on Twitter, FriendFeed and BrightKite.
But mostly I’ve been thinking.
There’s a lot of noise out there and it’s […]
I don’t usually talk about my religious view here on this blog. But in this situation I find it particularly relevant to the usual discussion here.
I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saint also referred to as lDS or the Mormons.

Pictures are an obvious fit in […]
I learned a long time ago that I am NEVER the target audience. As early adopters (if you’re a regular reader of this blog you’re probably an early adopter) it becomes easy to lose touch with reality. If you’re a fellow blogger then you live in a world filled with other bloggers and […]
I recently sat in on a research forum where we asked small business owners several questions about how they find solutions to business problems on the Web. The following is pieces of relevant transcript. There are multiple people commenting all at once but I think you’ll get the idea.
when is video better? when […]
The title of this blog should be read out loud in your best drunken Scottish accent.
Twitter seems to be failing at an ever increasing rate. Some people are calling for a global day of tough love to show Twitter that this isn’t acceptable.
Others are just moving on to FriendFeed. If you’re not on […]
Garrett Rogers over at zdnet felt the new Google Reader, notes functionality was a possible threat to Twitter. I don’t totally agree with that. It hurts Twitter only because it helps FriendFeed so much. This feature will mostly challenge bookmarking sites like del.icio.us and Diigo.
While it doesn’t completely replace how I use […]
