You might remember we interviewed CollectiveX’s CEO, Clarence Wooten, back in April where we spoke about CollectiveX and he shared some tips on running a successful start-up. In the new release you can expect to see some cool ways to use widgets on and off your Groupsite, easy ...

"Brilliant. Effective. Revolutionary." Those are the three words I thought I'd write in response to Barack Obama's text message announcing his Vice Presidential pick. Instead, the only word that comes to mind is "Disappointing." Let me explain... Having upgraded recently from a BlackBerry to a white 3G iPhone I went ahead and signed up on my new line for the updates. More text messages? No worries, I had already opted for the unlimited text plan ...

1000's of hungry news outlets can't out speed a text message. What's more important is that Obama/Biden now how all those opt in's and can text message voters to go vote. Nothing is ever perfect and people need to stop thinking that everything the Obama campaign will do will be perfection.

I didn't even get the text... I got an e-mail on my iPhone. The e-mail worked better. Also, this guy is a whiny bitch.

Shortly after 3 AM on the east coast, the long-awaited text message from Barack Obama announcing Joe Biden had finally arrived. But it was something short of letting the cat out of the bag. At 10:50 pm on Friday night, ABC News confirmed that Biden was getting Secret Service protection. The first official confirmation that I could find came from CNN at 12:45 a.m. The promised "be the first to know" text message came a ...

I'd like your thoughts on what I see as one of the biggest problems I see for using social media in marketing: scalability. In theory, using social media for marketing should scale elegantly. Most advisors and evangelists tell a story that plays out something like this: once a marketer gets up enough courage to push over the first domino and launch a social media effort, that person tells a friend, who tells another three friends, ...

Of course people can scale. If one Frank at Comcast can handle about 500 tweets per day then add another person to handle another 500. Technology CAN scale, although it doesn't always happen. It requires good software architecture and/or unlimited hardware add-ons as it becomes necessary.

From the makers of one of the original energy drinks comes Red Bull Cola, a new cola with a twist. It's the first major brand extension for the company and they're setting it apart from other similar soft drinks and from Red Bull itself by taking pride in being "strong and natural." We were pleasantly surprised by just how different from its cousin it is. Without taurine or any other secret formula, Red Bull Cola ...

There's two different camps in cycling. The first seeks out every new, high-tech toy they can attach to their carbon fiber frame, while the other takes the opposite approach, stripping off anything that's not vital to its performance. These fixed-gear purists shun derailleurs, brakes and anything else that obscures the clean geometry of the bicycle frame. The latter group is the target audience of Alien Bikes. Based out of Tjøme, Norway, Alien is essentially a ...

Um, no. There is an additional camp. Its the camp that uses bikes for regular old transportation, and therefore seeks cost-effective utility. I am in this camp. It is refreshingly inexpensive and irony-free.

Supra has presented two new additions to their current line-up, the NS Skytop Pro Model and Vaider. The NS Skytop Pro Model appears in an all silver upper along with a white mid-sole. The Skytop has taken many designs and patterns, but the monotone style seems to be their most popular and they do stay away from obscure color combination and brightly designed styles, which has created a rather large following. The other model releasing ...
