Corporate Social Media Backlash: The Virtual Firewall
In December I predicted that over the next 5 years we would see intranets begin to integrate with social networks. I’ve seen some signs recently that this might take longer than I anticipated (but trust me it will happen). The intranet is a metaphor for corporate control. Intranets are secure networks of communication. Employees can [...]
Facebook Takes on Google Reader: Who Said RSS is Dead?
I’ve been playing around with Facebook. Both how to promote brands on Facebook as well as how users consume content within the walled garden (hint: there’s a direct correlation between the two). As blogs and media networks extend their reach using Facebook Pages, I noticed something interesting: Facebook can be used as an RSS reader. [...]
Search, Discovery and Curation
While @gearheadgal may never speak to me again my post from earlier this week, 3 Reasons Why Social Media is Killing Search, sparked some healthy debate. (BTW debate is a good thing, it’s healthy, respectful and we should all do it more.) In my post I pointed to some recently reported trends that social media [...]
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 [...]

The Future of HR and Social Media: Facebook Connect?

Probably the most powerful tool we’ve ever seen. Some new research is out looking at social media for employee communications. Employers Increasing Use [...]
What your Startup can Learn from an Indie Band about CRM
I thought this was pretty smart. I actually think it’s brilliant and every Web startup out there needs to wake up. Building a Facebook or iPhone app is one thing but an app that’s tired into a CRM system? Not many bands get the value of CRM. Hell not many startups get the value of [...]
Your Life Stream Needs a Life
Image by ANVAR – SO BUSY RUSSIANTEXAN © via Flickr What does your life stream say about your life? The biggest irony in what many people call a life stream is there’s no “life” to it. Sharing interesting link is great, thanks keep it up. Sharing links with some extra context is also greatly appreciated [...]
Facebook Fan Pages are the New Microsite
Image via Wikipedia Facebook has been on a very steady yet steep growth trajectory for years now. They consistently innovate (even if it’s just copying what others do). What can Facebook learn from Friendfeed? They are relentless at adding new features and are constantly changing their user experience and how they display posts. They’ve changed [...]
Twitter for News and Facebook for Tech?
An interesting report about Twitter users vs Facebook users and their reading and linking habits from Chitka. Chitika, Inc., is a search-based online advertising network. I’m curious if this is accurate for you or not? While I didn’t think Facebook was more tech and Twitter was more general news, it does make sense if I [...]
