By Jesse Stay of Stay N' Alive (Identi.ca/FriendFeed)Identi.ca, the open source and Federated microblogging platform, could very well put Twitter out of business as other businesses begin realizing how they can adopt it.

I realized this today when Jay ...

As Jesse Stay states, the true power of Identi.ca is in the development of a protocol for federated microblogging/messaging.

This is an interesting platform. A portable twitter. If i read it right you can use it in one social network and then, on another network using the same opensource base, you can login and see the people you subscribe to over there but content filtered to that site. Domain specific twittering w/ a single login.

With annual revenues for the weight-loss industry estimated at $60 billion a year, competition is fierce. Food-based programs like Nutri-System and Weight Watchers account for hundreds of millions of dollars, so getting the right message across to potential customers is critical. While other companies have featured real-life success stories in their advertising, Jenny Craig has chosen another route: the celebrity spokesperson. While I’m not a big proponent of celebrities as an effective marketing tool, Jenny ...

I am a big proponent of bilingual sites for U.S. websites. By now almost 15% of the Nation is comprised by Latinos and among them 47% is Spanish Dominant (Pew Hispanic Center, Latinos Online, March 14, 2007). Even thought the latter are not as “connected” as their English Dominant counterparts, they are certainly catching up thanks to cheap computers, cheap high-speed internet connections and to the iPhone!

What place does Flash and video have on a landing page? I think it depends a lot on context. If you have a big flash promo that takes several minutes to load right in the middle of your landing page, it may not be adding value to the experience and it's probably inhibiting conversions. On the flip side, if you have something that loads fast and adds value to the experience, then it may be ...
