By Jesse Stay of Stay N' Alive (Twitter/FriendFeed)I've been following several people on FriendFeed that I'm a big fan of and are fairly active Twitter users. Until recently, I would like their Tweets and share them with my followers regularly. However, I'm realizing a trend amongst new FriendFeed users, including some of these Twitter users I follow, in which they pick one or two services and neglect to share the other places they belong to. ...

An ongoing conversation about the viability and credibility of Twitter-based ad network Magpie led Brandon J. Mendolson to come up with a nifty idea: republish our perspectives on the issue (I don’t have a problem with it as I see “sponsored tweets” as being a close cousin to sponsored blog posts, as I get into here, and Brandon is firmly against) on our respective blogs. Therefore, I present to you Brandon’s take on the issue ...

We’ve arrived in Barcelona, Spain for Nokia World, a week where Nokia talks to its top customers. When we got here a Nokia executive met me and bragged that the Internet has no clue what they will announce this week. I asked “what about the touch screen cell phone that I’ve seen rumors about?” He said that no one had gotten it right yet. The announcements are on Wednesday morning (it’s early Monday morning as ...

I work at a large company. My nature is to move quickly, which often feels impossible. In the past few weeks, a lot of the impossibility has involved not knowing the right people. A lot of smart people think about this, for example the labcoats behind Organization Network Analysis. Looking at how people work together in a network can often yield surprising insights into whether the organization can move fast or slowly. A lot of ...

So far this holiday season (comScore calls Nov & Dec the holiday shopping season), $8.2bn has been spent online which is down 4% versus the same time period last year.

Last night I happened across a stealth startup that’s growing quickly entitled Mr. Tweet. The site bills itself as your “personal assistant for Twitter,” but it functions as a very interesting version of Facebook’s friend finder. The site asks you for your Twitter username, and then processes your connections and the content of your tweets. I input my name this morning, and by late this afternoon, it DM’d me with my ready report. The report ...

It is really a fascinating read.

I love the title "Reality Check 2.0" but all credit should go to Susan (citation link below). This recession/depression is poised to eclipse any downturn we’ve seen in our lifetimes. As I canvas the Enterprise 2.0 landscape, I find myself wondering: what is our killer economic crisis app/movement? Twitter? Facebook? Will we save the U.S auto industry by social networking? Really? I can assure you, there will be no Federal bail outs for 2.0 startups. ...

A subset of VGS has surfaced in the wild of social networking recently. Be warned, no known cures exist today!!! But I have the medical definition already written out.
