The Future Buzz
The social web and search results support each other and are inexorably linked. It goes beyond a mere passive connection, the two create an active, virtuous cycle growing more powerful daily. I mocked up a quick version of what I view the cycle as:The link between search and social only becomes tighter as the engines and (Read More)

Is Twitter suddenly in a dangerous place, risking alienating users by becoming far too corporate, while failing to make any cash from those feeding off it? Three incidents in 24 hours have provoked that question.First, I was invited by BBC colleagues to speak at an internal "summit"on the use of Twitter in our operations. T (Read More)

Tonight, the bored and lonely segment of Twitter users banded together to push three sexy, raunchy, and totally inappropriate terms into the trending topics leaderboard.Within minutes (as far as we could tell), both terms were removed from the list on the web interface at Twitter.com. However, they still showed up on third (Read More)

This morning, I saw what seems like a scam contest on “RIP Web 2.o” that’s driving traffic to my blog for no apparent reason, while I am still baffled by it, the notion of “Web 2.0 is over” got me thinking. It reminded me of a conversation I had with a blogger from the SF Bay Area at the Web 2.0 Expo recently. He proclaime (Read More)

: RIP Web 2.0The term web 2.0 was first presented at a conference of the same name organized by Tim O'Reilly. Tim credits Dale Dougherty, a VP at the company, with coining the name). The original Web 2.0 conference was held in October 2004 to talk about the state of Internet companies in the post-bubble world. Following the conference, Tim O'Reilly wrote an article called “What is Web 2.0" and the name stuck. http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html At that time in 04' & 05', I would credit Tim and his group for taking the bull by the horns, giving it a name, and defining it. It was certainly a rough time for Internet companies between 2001-04', there was a lot of really healthy fallout from the burst, and this may have been a strategy not only by Tim and his group to be the Web 2.0 Authority, but their message helped bring confidence back to the investor circles, Wall Street, Internet Services Companies, traditional business, and consumers. The term and the map brought a new phase of the Internet. It was timing and smarts on their part. The term took off, and became a marketing buzz word that Internet Service Companies started using as being on the "Leading Edge" of design, technology, marketing, tradeshows, etc... Today I notice a similar state of confusion around the title "Social Media" happening among brand managers/buyers/marketers, and debate among internet social media "experts" (loosely) about, "what Social Media is"? Most understand their brand needs a Twitter and a Facebook account, however there is much more too it. In addition, there are now thousands of "Social Media Experts" in the field, most without a client list or one project they have done, maybe other then self promotion. No one person, team or company has stepped up to become the authority in Social Media; to me there is an opportunity. Web 2.0 is definitely done. It has been for years in my professional opinion because the core Internet infrastructure and the scripting languages have evolved 1 mil fold since 04'. I tend to chuckle to myself when I hear about a company still using that in their event title or company tagline, or press release. Not to discredit them, but its definitely time to either move on to Web 2.00001 at least and define that or it is really simply a fad / buzz word and we should all move on. R.

: This is so "inside the bubble". don't you realize that the rest of the world has just discovered, Twitter and and Facebook? Those of us who have been using Web 2.0 services for the last 5 years are "so over it." The rest of the "unwashed masses" are just getting their taste and adding their spin. While some Web 2.0 projects like Pownce may have run their course, it the words of Mr. T, there's "a lotta mo".

: The previous two comments reflect exactly why I wrote the blog post in the first place. Depending on whether you're "in the bubble" or outside it, how long you've used social media and whether or not you're a practitioner, your perspective will vary considerably. I don't really care what it's called, what's important is that it's full potential is yet to be realized and hope folks don't dismiss it too soon in their rush to get on to the next big thing.

I recently ran across an article in the Financial Times, a London based newspaper. The article was titled Advertisers brace for online viral marketing curbs. Here’s a quote:“Revised guidelines on endorsements and testimonials by the Federal Trade Commission, now under review and expected to be adopted, would (Read More)

: Interesting story. As the article concludes, this would be hard to enforce. However, it does hark back to an earlier discussion I read in these pages regarding the practice of paying bloggers to endorse products. In those circumstances then I think there should be some control - it is effectively just another form of advertising afterall, and therefore should be regulated in the same way. But personal, 'word-of-mouth' raves or rants about particular companies or products surely are protected under freedom of speech laws . . . ? Authenticity is everything.A business acquaintance's daughter is currently being sued by a doctor after she complained about his treatment in a blog post. He is claiming loss of business. But, if she is posting about a genuine personal experience as a warning to others, is that actionable by the doctor? I am no legal expert, and I know every case is different, but we have to draw a line somewhere, surely? 89

: There are some problems with this service as it presently exists. A major one is that it returns hits for all tweets containing the acronym or abbreviation sought - regardless of whether it is a hashtag or not. Nevertheless, it has potential. I hope they can tweak it as a more useful tool.
