"I will follow you. You will follow me.All the days and nights that we know will be." Oh Phil Collins, you balding seer of online social networking. How could you have possibly known that thirty years after Genesis released ...And Then There Were Three... a band of raging Twitterati would be anguishing over who to twit and who to qwit? OK -- technically speaking, Mike Rutherford wrote the lyrics to "Follow You Follow Me" and ...

Have you seen this one? I was catching up on my favorite blogs when I saw this over at Verdino's. This is a mind blowing video. More brands need to see this video! Especially those who do not think that their consumers actually participate in a form of social media. (yes they are still out there) This video was created by a team of FB engineers during an in-house "hack-a-thon".What is amazing is the amount ...

This video started cropping up on Facebook and in a TechCrunch post over the weekend, then appeared in a Mashable post this morning. Created by a team of FB engineers during an in-house "hackathon", it mashes person-to-person activity data with geo data to show just how much 'real time' social interaction happens on Facebook every second. The end result is a NASA-style glimpse of the Earth from space, traversed by a pretty lively set of ...

I haven't yet had a chance to blog this week, but I did want to give you something to read. So this post presents my chapter from the original Age of Conversation. A lot has changed in my life, our country and our industries since I wrote it close to a year-and-a-half ago, and in some ways it comes across as naive and a bit starry-eyed, but I hope you'll still find something of value ...

'The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark , built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible. The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as ...

Correrria de fim de ano! Ô, inferno! Existe algum lugar do mundo que eu possa fugir dessas decorações, comemorações e cinismo? Quero passar um dezembro ao lado de amigos, jogada na cama, tendo orgasmos incríveis, bebendo muito, como se hoje fosse o último dia dos tempos! Maaaas, como isso não ocorre, volto a realidade e estou aqui, dando um tempo nas preparações da minha aula de alemão de amanhã - adoro dia de aplicar prova! ...

When looking at the promise of new media channels, many marketers still seem to fall back on the square-peg-round-hole routine. They attempt to force-fit tired, old ad models into next generation marketing opportunities that demand new approaches and, in doing so, alienate consumers and deliver questionable results for their companies. You know probably already know what this looks like -- fake corporate blogs instead of proper and personalized blogger relations, MySpace homepage takeovers instead of ...

I guess my Wesleyan University commie-sympathizer pink socks are showing today, but I love this video. Mankind Is No Island is a short film that explores a global social issue using nothing more than a mobile phone, found typography and a simple soundtrack. Last month it took home the big prize at Tropfest NY, the world's largest short film festival. Social significance aside, Mankind is yet another demonstration of the democratization of the tools we ...
