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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Oh Scoble, you are so damn predictable

June 27, 2009

It’s been interesting to watch the discussion develop around my post yesterday about Friendfeed. I knew the moment that I hit the publish button that Robert Scoble would show up to provide some incredibly incisive opinion about what I had to say. It’s a forgone conclusion that at any point in the social media [...]

MG Siegler has a post over on TechCrunch where he relates the news that in the opinion of a former Deputy National Security Advisor for Bush, Mark Pfeifle, the guys behind Twitter should get a Nobel Peace Prize. To quote

Calling all Social Media experts …. oh wait there aren’t any

June 22, 2009

Okay maybe the headline is a little over blown, but for the larger part of Social Media I think that it holds pretty well. I have stressed here many times how I think that the majority of marketing and PR people who have jumped on the Social Media bandwagon and now proclaim themselves as [...]

You want to show support for those in Iran and show the power of Social Media? Here’s how

June 21, 2009

There’s been a lot of talk about the Iranian government and how they are – or aren’t – monitoring the Internet traffic in and out of the country. Well if the post on the Wall Street Journal by Christopher Rhoads and Loretta Chao is any indication the Iranian government has been getting some pretty [...]
