According to Michael Arrington Sacks is scheduled to speak at the Real-Time Stream CrunchUp conference hosted by TechCrunch. Right now however it is day one of the three day poker tournament [...]

Posting Redux: Bloggers - Hypocrisy of ethics

July 5, 2009

While moving to the new domain and new name I’ve been finding posts that I really liked when I first wrote them. So I have decided to repost them as part of a regular Sunday feature for the next little while. At the bottom of the repost I will also update the original post with [...]

A need for a new blog ranking system

July 4, 2009

We might not want to admit in public but bloggers; especially those doing it as a career, liked having a ranking system that we use to get with Technorati. I say use to because whether they might not want to admit it or not Technorati isn’t really relevant anymore. Still though we flash that [...]

Marketers count on gullibility so you will spam for them

July 3, 2009

A big thumbs up to Sarah Perez over at ReadWriteWeb for her excellent post on needing a marketer filter on Twitter. I couldn’t agree more but there’s a couple of things that these marketers, or companies, are doing which is worse than just counting own our gullibility in order to promote their products.

All the tools are there for newspapers to save themselves

July 2, 2009

While Michelle Greer might have being saying it with a little tongue in cheek when she suggested that to save themselves newspapers should hire Robert Scoble the point she was trying to make is pretty spot on. The overall point that I get the impression that she was trying to make is that newspapers [...]

Okay Twitter the ball’s in your court

July 2, 2009

I don’t follow that many people on Twitter which makes it rather easy to spot out of place tweets as they come through my Twitter client. At first when I started noticing a specific Twitterer showing up in my Friends stream I didn’t really pay attention. However as a part of my Social Media [...]

ING Canada needs to stop this idea dead in its tracks

July 2, 2009

I just caught this brain dead idea via Kris Abel’s Tech Life blog and the only thing I can say is that this has to be one of the stupidest ideas for using Twitter yet. Apparently ING Direct Canada wants people to publish their banking fees and charges via Twitter for the whole world [...]

This is why we read blogs, and people like Scoble

July 1, 2009

Like Alexander van Elsas I tend to call bullshit on much of what amounts to nothing more than hype when it comes to this thing called the real-time web (RTW). Yes it has its place but in level of consumer importance the bullet points that the proponents of RTW hoist upon us really doesn’t [...]

There’s nothing wrong with a little social media spring cleaning

June 30, 2009

As I have travelled around in the social media world I have always tried to maintain a pretty simple idea when it came to following people on the different services. The numbers of people I followed, or who followed me, were never important. For me it was about finding people who I found interesting [...]

Is Robert Scoble rediscovering the true value of his roots?

June 30, 2009

If there is one constant in social media that you can always count on it is that Robert Scoble will always get flack for his breathless promotion of just about every shiny new thing that comes along. Personally I think this kind of reaction, one I’m guilty of as well, is wrong. Robert truly [...]
