: Have to agree with most of what the author says. It's so easy to take potshots at Microsoft, but you know, sometimes they really do deserve it, and I think this is another case in point.

: Microsoft's Vista operating system is just a public relations dog. Users don't want it. Large companies don't want to support it. And reviewers panned it.http://methodshop.com/2008/08/vista-cant-win.shtml 5

Let's be honest here: we're all a bunch of social media addicts. We're junkies. Whether it's a new Twitter app, a new Facebook feature, or a new social anything service, we're all over it. But we may not be the norm. The truth is, being involved in social media takes time, something that most people don't have a lot of. So (Read More)

This weekend users have been asking for alternatives to Twitter. In this post we answer that question in a variety of ways. Here's a look at several alternatives to Twitter both onlin (Read More)

As expected, Facebook has officially rolled out the beta for its new design this evening. To get it, you can now to go www.new.facebook.com, which will convert the site to the new look. You can still roll back to the previous version by clicking a “Back to Old Facebook” link at the top of the site. From top to bottom, th (Read More)

: I went through the www.new.faceboook.com login and NOTHING. My page looks the same as before. How disappointing. Must be implementing in waves. I'll continue to hope!

At the basic level YouAre offers 140 character limited short messaging, complete with user profiles, support for @replies and DMs, and the ability to follow friends. The next layer of YouAre (and that’s the best word (Read More)

There have been various sightings of a new design for Twitter this afternoon, though by now, Twitter has reverted back to its old design. Possibly, Twitter is testing this new design as it prepares to integrate Summize's search into its current look. The new design moves the navigation bar away from the top and to the right (Read More)

: I like the new design and briefly used it on my own account before Twitter reverted back to the current one. Much cleaner and more streamlined :)

Pandora’s internet radio has always been one of those sites that was really cool in concept, but too inconvenient to ever go mainstream. The service was long tied to computers only, and while it eventually expanded to special internet radios and some mobile phones, it still has yet to become a household name. But (Read More)

I was going through my normal routine this morning of IV’ing my daily allotment of caffeine into my system, reading my email, going through my blog feeds in FeedDemon and then finishing up with a good round of FriendFeed when I realized something. My Twitter client wasn’t running, and in fact, it hadn’t been running for alm (Read More)

The Register:Social networking site bans oldies over sex offender fears — Over 36? You can't play — A social networking site has deleted most of its users over the age of 36 because it claims older users pose a danger of sex offending. It claims to be forced into the action by the Government … (Read More)

: Soon, they will ban anyone with XY chromosomes - lest they turn out to be rapists... Stupid.But then the site isn't that appealing to anyone over the age of 19, so no big loss.
May 25, 2008
: Not sure if I agree with this practice. I think it should be up to the younger users not to get lured in by the sex offenders that use these sites. Going on a tangent here, but sex offenders should not be allowed anywhere near a computer whatsoever. Just my 2 cents.

Once again, the discussion of FriendFeed taking over Twitter is playing out again this weekend. I guess it’s the bitchmeme of the weekend.I’m on the side that says FriendFeed will not kill Twitter. Sorry, I just don’t see it happening and screw the statistics…well not all of the statistics. (Read More)
May 25, 2008
: I completely agree with this story. FriendFeed is not Twitter, they should not be compared as the same or thought of as the same. I write comments in FriendFeed, because it allows me to. Easier than hunting down the person on Twitter and sending a reply. So the comparison needs to stop and the bitching needs to stop.

Robert Scoble. Blame FriendFeed. Steve Rubel. Blame FriendFeed. The Shel puppet. Blame FriendFeed. Dave Winer. Blame FriendFeed. Etc.FriendFeed is a parasite service built on the back of Twitter. Let’s get this straight. No Twitter, no FriendFeed. Want to kill FriendFeed, as I certainly do? Cut off its oxygen. Take a (Read More)

: I think that Gillmor is not always with it. FriendFeed is a Lifestream aggregator that allows users to comment on what is being pulled into the feed. It can most certainly exist without Twitter, and even allows to messages to be written directly to the feed. So I don't know what Gillmor is on at this point, I can't even tell if he is in favor of the service or not. He needs to spend the rest of his days in the institution if you ask me. Harsh, maybe - but don't knock it until you try it Steve.

: We're just days away from some serious (and cool) twitter integration with socialmedian.
