I spent the weekend recovering from holiday activities. I did manage to do some housework, watched The Sopranos Season Five (a key component of the holiday loot), and consumed a deluge of "end of year" blog posts from around the Interwebs.I love this kind of thing, and it was fun to try to get a Big Picture take on what som (Read More)

Net Applications has been seeing a great deal of strange traffic coming from Google employees that can’t be explained by proxy servers or any other standard means of masking. Approximately one third of traffic coming from our friends at Google has had OS information deliberately concealed so that Net Applications’ software (Read More)

: I think the problem is that traditional media is simply slow to embrace the changing technologies that we are all obviously engrossed in. Many traditional media outlets are taking strides to incorporate new media into their routines. It's a slow process, especially given that traditional media moguls aren't exactly known to be the most forward thinking.Journalism will not die, it will change, and indeed it has changed. Most of what we get from our "news providers" is info-tainment at this point. It's the Bill O'Reilly's and Ketih Olbermann's of the world giving us their opinions about the news. What I think we are seeing is a watershed change in the way the news is communicated, not the death of any singular form thereof. We will always need journalists, because there is most certainly a level of professionalism that much of new media lacks. While we on the inside may think that twitter is the best place to get our breaking news, we must remember that there are hundreds of millions of people in the US alone who do not use twitter, or digg, or delicious, or social|median. 56

: Segues nicely with an article I wrote recently, spelling out my Twitter rules, which I've added to my Twitter profile. Jacob & I are in total agreement; you can't participate in every conversation and you're just being disingenuous if you follow everyone else back automatically...

: @Thechannelc I only respond to a DM if I need to. I will reply to a direct question even if only to say I don't know, as I like to be polite. However, I only follow a very few people by SMS, so I don't see tweets when I'm away from my computer, unless I scroll back thru them, and I don't usually have time. I DO see DMs though, as Tweetdeck puts them in a separate column.

: If someone was Guy Kawasaki I wouldn't expect a reply but here's what's interesting, Guy replies! If there's someone who deserves the badges he's giving out, it's Guy himself. He kicks ass. I know we don't have to follow everyone back but I do it anyways and I'll DM new followers. No answer in 1 week = goodbye. Come now, atleast say "hi". 64

Anthony Ha at Venturebeat reported on Friday that Socialmedian has left the beta stage (whatever that means). Ha says it's an important milestone for the company.
