Steve's shared items in Google Reader
I admit that I am addicted to Google Reader. If you follow my shares, I average almost 35 shares a day and that is with me ensuring I do not share too much. My reader is open all day. However, in the past I have complained that the new features, like comments, groups and likes, were very odd and did not really add much to t (Read More)

: One of the problems I have with Google Reader as a hub of anything is that it's antisocial. It's very difficult - I think - to find and add people to your sharing network. Sure you set your shares to public, but I only do that so I import them into Friendfeed for discussion, which definitely is a hub.
Aug 06, 2009
: " If shares are integrated with PubSubHubbub, then an application developer will be able to monitor reader shares constantly. This allows Google Reader to be included in any real time application, like FriendFeed.These two ideas could push Google Reader into the breaking news segment very quickly." 36

: It seems like many people are unhappy for one reason or another, but doesn't this also seem like a perfect opportunity for socialmedian to pick up some of the disenfranchised friendfeed users. Today's events made me reflect on when socialmedian was acquired, but thanks to Jason and Xing, they have kept this site running. I just hope it continues to do so.

Since the rise of services like Twitter and FriendFeed, blogs have been at war with them. Last year, the war turned into bloodshed as linkbacks to blogs started to decline, while retweeting via Twitter continues to shoot up to stardom. Don’t believe me?

Robert Scoble's shared items in Google Reader
Among the methods and technologies that are often heralded as the key to being an influencer within social media you seldom hear “Comments” mentioned as an integral piece of your online presence. Blog comments are underrated and unsexy in these days of new media but you’ll do yourself a great disservice if you overlook thei (Read More)

There are a few established players in the world of Twitter directories. We have covered several directories, including Twellow and Just Tweet It , as well as compared Twitter directories based on their usefulness. But after this weekend, they may find themselves struggling against a new competitor. (Read More)

: "The premise is simple: anyone can tweet to @wefollow hashtags that represent what categories they would like to be listed under. WeFollow sees these @replies and then organizes users based on those hashtags. Common hashtags include #blogger, #entrepreneur, and #socialmedia. WeFollow only allows for three hashtags per person, assuring the directory does not become overly cluttered."

What do you use to track success? It’s one of the first questions I ask new clients when we sit down to discuss a new project or campaign. Most of the answers that come back are either Google Analytics, Yahoo Web Analytics or a similar platform. While these tools are excellent [...]. (Read More)

By Jesse Stay of Stay N' Alive (Twitter/FriendFeed)In an assuring statement in the Twitter API Developers Group, Alex Payne, the API lead at Twitter, shared that they have plans to have their Fire-hose of Data available to developers and users by "Thanksgiving at the Latest".

: @jasongoldberg That is the main problem I have with the rate limiting. It is hard to be a platform when you do this, and they are not giving much advanced notice. They could take a look at what the wire services (AP, Reuters, etc) do when they have planned maintenance. Notices go out days before, and it uses a special message type. That should not be hard.

Now that LinkedIn has gathered 30 million members in its professional network, the Mountain View-based company wants to go beyond just connecting. Last night it introduced nine applications with which LinkedIn users can “communicate, collaborate, and share”. Reid Hoffman writes on the corporate blog:This initial roll out fe (Read More)

Twitter references seem to be popping up everywhere. From news shows to sitcoms such as The Big Bang Theory, there’s no denying that the service is finally going mainstream. And now even celebrities are joining in. Some seem like your typical Twitter users, posting about whatever crosses their minds, while others use (Read More)

: Yesterday @therealbritney had 550 follows. @ socialmedian 24 Hrs later she has 3,618. If Tom Cruise or Will Smith twittered, How many would they have? She's definitely a trendsetter. But whoever thought it would be Britney Spears to bring twitter mainstream?
Oct 22, 2008
: With so many celebs starting to use Twitter now, does this mean that Twitter has officially gone mainstream, meaning it has moved beyond the early adopters?
Oct 27, 2008
: @jonasdelosreyes I would argue that Twitter is in the early mainstream. It's not quite mainstream yet but it is building steam and the "celebrity" endorsements are helping.

There was an interesting discussion on socialmedian today regarding the daily "deadpool" and "layoff tracker" updates on sites like TechCrunch.It's sensationalist journalism. It's done just for ratings. It's counter productive. It's hyperbolic. And it's time for it to go. There's no need for it and no place for it.All (Read More)

: MORE FROM THE POST: This writer/startup CEO also wonders outloud if the new media websites/blogs (the TechCrunch's, ValleyWag's, etc.) of the world will be as transparent when they themselves go sideways, screw up, or god-forbid have to layoff some employees. They too are still figuring out their business models. And that's ok.I'd prefer we just change the tone entirely and focus on substance vs. getting ratings out necessary layoffs. In fact, I'd much rather read a thoughtful post by one of the editors of the new media websites/blogs on why they think tech startups should or should not tighten the belt right now. Lead that debate vs. encouraging the pile on. There are going to be A LOT of layoffs in the months ahead in startup land. We're just getting started on this. Let's get ahead of it and plan for resources for the laid-off. Take a leadership position in interviewing and highlighting companies who are hiring. Be part of the solution. 
Mott,

: @michaelfidler It’s a dog eat dog world sometimes and it’s even more transparent online. I believe if you give somebody enough rope, eventually they will use it.
Oct 24, 2008
: I think this echos what happens quite often in our culture--we build em up to tear them down. The failure of a company is like anything else, there are valuable lessons to be learned, but those lessons are extracted by a careful and measured postmortem--not via sensationalism and attention grabbing headlines on some blog.

I went on LinkedIn for the first time in months today and accepted about 150 pending contact requests. Great. Now what?

: @robdiana @michaelfidler @hutch @louisgray @thomaspower @vincentwright @christiananderson @jeffisageek @scobleizer Is LinkedIn still relevant if you're not looking for a job? Or, is there something going on there that I'm just missing?

: @VincentWright Yes. Whether it is professional networking or social networking you have to think of what you are getting out of all your hyper activity. This is very true in case of professional networking because every minute we spend there adds to cost like any other resource we use.

: Linkedin has opened me new avenues to connect to key people of my field which otherwise is not possible in Job search sites as I am representing many freelancers who don't have much time to promote their image online. Linkedin has given us front page listings in google searches to our Project Vyas which over a period of time has created recognition and credibility among our local communities as no one else in our town has used Linkedin in such an extensive way. Today many software professionals, project managers, HR people natives of my town settled abroad are trying to connect to me on their own. The secret is stand out in any network whether it is Linkedin or Stumbleupon or Digg. Stay long and consistently.
