Perhaps this isn’t a new trend, and is something that’s pervasive. Perhaps I’m just getting more visibility to it because of my immersion in fast-moving media environments.But there’s a startling lack of accountability swirling around right now, both in business and individual senses. And it’s arresting to me.This isn’t a p (Read More)

Today has been dominated by news and excitement surrounding Google Wave, Google’s new real-time communication platform that will launch to the public later this year. In fact, there’s been so much buzz that you might just not have enough time to read the thousands of articles being released on Google’s biggest product laun (Read More)
: Google Wave seems to be somewhat like a "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" as we would call it in Germany. A highly complex system for real-time communication which is capable of replacing IM, email, wikis etc. This is definitely a project which is not easy to beat by any other vendor with less will to spend millions of millions into infrastructure and development for a single project.

Some have dubbed Alpha a "Google killer," but, in reality, is very different from the standard search engines that we are all familiar with today.When we got the demo, Wolfram asked us to refra (Read More)
: That's impressive stuff. Can't wait to see this in live. Finally a real answer engine... would be interesting what different kind of questions it would support. The screenshots look promising.

I’ve been asked this time and time again; “Gordon, Twitter or Facebook, Which one’s better?” Even recently on Twitter by my friend and fellow blogger Ruthibelle. My Answer? Twitter is Facebook’s status updates on drugs, albeit you are limited to 140 Character on Twitter which you are not limited to on Facebook, but that’s (Read More)
: They are different but the significant point is Facebook is more of a trusted and known group of friends and twitters is about followers who are known and unknown.
Information in Facebook is generally limited to friends and friends of friends where as twitter is like a giant social gathering where there are people you and your friends already know but there are also people you do not know.
The ability to join conversations of strangers and listen to the trends is the key to difference.
Twitter lets you engage and get to know people beyond your current circles while also allowing you to participate with your existing network of connections as well.
Ultimately I agree with this writer they are vastly different tools and people should be using both.
: If you are going to compare you need to add Linkedin in the mix.
Facebook is flawed at it's core and that's why Twitter will surpass it within two years - Twitter is made for asymmetric relationships. Facebook was built for symmetric relationships. They both are social networks, as are most all new technologies
Facebook - Best for people under the age of 30 Trying to be like Twitter now Below average to use for business Good for young people who don't work yet Not good for family Trying to become everything to everyone Not private enough, yet not easy enough to tell the world things
Twitter - Best for people who are givers, not takers Only works if you first take time to learn who to follow More relevant information Only works if you have a servant heart More timely Not easy to understand why it's so much better than Facebook Need to use 3rd party apps to make it effective
LinkedIn - Best for those growing their business and/or career 1 Link at a time More powerful than Facebook for business by 10 fold Must invest time in getting to know your connections and their connections Must have the brain capacity to put the connections together - who can you help and who can help you You must be strategic and spend time learning other people's profiles Trying to bolt on too many applications to make it like Facebook
: I like this article and agree with the comments made. Twitter takes time to master and there's no point in being on it 'just for the sake of it'. I know many people who follow lots of people, want lots of followers but add nothing and gain nothing. Twitter is a great way of contacting like minded people who you'd never connect with via facebook or LinkedIn - both of which have their strengths.
For me:
Twitter - best for contacts with people who share common interests or who inspire you personally and professionally. How else would you connect with people in Sydney and Boston who think like you? facebook - great for catching up and reconnecting, sharing personal stuff LinkedIn - essential for networking and maintaining contact with colleagues and professional links. Also good for online reputation management
