A neat new tool for companies that are looking to use Twitter for marketing: Twittertise, which lets you schedule Twitter messages in advance to send automatically. What's the point? Twitter is a live wire, so whatever you send now is immediate. That works for individual users, or companies trying to take part in real-time conversations. But if a company wants to send out pre-written tweets -- like promotional messages, coupon links, reminders, etc. -- over ...

Today’s employers seem to want more of our time than ever. In the US, the average worker puts in 55 hours a week; in Europe and other places where short working weeks have long been the norm, workers are struggling to hold on to their reasonable schedules as employers look to the US model in an effort to increase their bottom lines. Email, text messaging, cell phones, and Blackberries keep us tethered to the office ...

Major League Baseball's "At Bat" has been one of our favorite iPhone apps since the platform launched in July. And we're part of a decent crowd of buyers: MLB tells us that approximately 75,000 people have purchased the $5 app. That means the league has generated about $263,000 in revenue from it so far, after Apple's 30% cut -- not enough to pay a baseball player's salary at the league minimum, but nothing to sneeze ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--On the Web, a site that responds a few milliseconds faster can make a big difference in people's engagement. It's for this reason that Google believes its new Web browser, Chrome, is a project worth investing in rather than a footnote in the history of the Internet. Chrome, Google said during its Tuesday launch event, is much faster at showing Web pages than the most widely used browser, Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Google's hope ...

The Internet is changing everything in our culture and to ignore the new tools it offers to leverage the vast and wonderfully deep, previously unavailable information to your competitive advantage would be foolish. One of the more fascinating trends I’ve noticed from this year’s presidential election has been the use of data and social media in tracking/predicting news stories. Savvy reporters that brush up on their analytical, social media and data metrics skills may be ...

Why launch Chrome (Google's new "browser") when Firefox, Google's favored son, is doing so well? Because Google needs its own. Using a comic book to introduce it is fun, and certainly, there's always room for new approaches to platform and interface, and Chrome looks to have a lot of neat new features and a fresh approach. But what this really tells us is that Google is dead serious about the distribution business, for one, and ...

There are many brands and products on the market that people simply don't want to engage in conversations with. Does that mean that those brands should avoid using social media? I'm sitting at a table writing this and next to me there are placemats, coasters, an alarm clock, and a potted plant. I can tell you for a fact that I could care less to engage in conversations with any of the companies that made ...

Fred Wilson is one of those people that you’d be smart to follow and listen to. He’s one of the smartest and most approachable venture capitalists in the world, and his company is at the cutting edge of cool technologies and applications. Fred’s speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo in New York later this month, and was asked three questions about conference content. One stands out as really significant, IMO: 2) What’s the most important, ...
