MySpace
Facebook is the Mashup of My Life
This post was cross posted from my hyperbored blog but I thought it was applicable here too. As Facebook has grown to become the dominant social network a strange thing has happened: My World’s are colliding. Some people are uncomfortable with the mix of personal and work life that Facebook has come to represent. That [...]
MySpace: the Web 2.0 Victim of Innovators Dilemma.
Image via CrunchBase There’s been a lot of talk about the massive layoffs and restructuring happening at MySpace. While among social media elites MySpace has become a bit of a joke I wanted to take a minute to reflect back on an old friend. I’ve never been all that impressed with Facebook. MySpace taught me [...]
Despite the Promise of Social Networks Local Businesses Struggle with Marketing ROI
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I have long felt that social media was grossly underutilized by local businesses. Unlike most corporate social media efforts local businesses have the ability to solidify Online relationships with real life relationships. Twitter seems to be breaking that barrier faster than any social network to date. Facebook ,like MySpace [...]
MySpace reacts to Facebook: too little too late
It’s no secret that MySpace has been loosing market share to Facebook for a while now. MySpace is ugly and spammy. The ability to design your own MySpace theme has proven that most people have zero design skills (my self included). The ads are obnoxious and intrusive. Most early adopters have long ago switched from [...]

People have a tendency to get comfortable social media. Too comfortable. There’s no shortage of examples where people post incriminating photo’s on their [...]
Why it takes me so long to add Twitter Friends
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I probably have a bout 50+ Twitter friends request sitting in my inbox right now. There are some people I know that would hate to have to deal with this. I enjoy the interaction. I click through every singe request and make sure that they’re not just some automated [...]
New Channels of Engagement
I find myself debating with people about the business relevance of New Media tools. For the last two years (and probably for the next two years) I have dealt with sceptics who question the validity of blogs, podcasts, wiki’s, forums and online social networks (LinkedIn) as a viable communication medium. Lately I have been fielding [...]
Twitter Craze Feels Like MySpace Back in the Day
So back in 2003 I heard about this brand new site; MySpace. At the time I owned a skate shop in Las Vegas and all the lurkers we’re obsessing over this MySpace.com. As they explained how it was soooo much better than Friendster, I decided to give it a try. One of the things that [...]
