Guy Kawasaki is a pretty influential guy and when he says “Twitter is a weapon,” in an interview I did with him my ears perk up.But he got more outrageous from there. He took on TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington with a challenge. Guy would rather give up his cell phone for a week than give up Twitter for a week. (Read More)

: @joebachana I agree. Every once in a while we do need to realise that there is a life outside the devices we use. Else one of these days we will end up becoming a part of the machine...remember the movie "The Lawnmower Man"?

: @joebachana Healthy detox sounds like a wise idea. S|M tools and points of contact are piling up rapidly and can consume a lot of brain bandwidth if not careful.

The masterminds behind Google are pushing an initiative known as OpenSocial which aims to connect many different types of web sites using one single API. One of the fruits of OpenSocial is Google Friend Connect which seems like a technology demo on the surface, but I’ve found a couple of possibly useful gems to utilize. F (Read More)

: Is it just me? Most sites want to be social? I never heard this. Why would a web site want to give its CRM data to Google or facebook or anyone else? Why do people want to give their personnel data to a vendor? Is it just me? Why do I want to be a walking billboard for a company?

The last major piece of the puzzle that was missing from Gmail was voice and video chat. Not any more; if you have a webcam and a microphone, you can now video chat with your friends directly from Gmail by installing this plugin. The plugin works in all major browsers (I’ve tried it in the latest version of Firefox) a (Read More)

: I tried it yesterday with a few friends, and I have to say I liked it. More than anything, I like that it's not bogged down with a ton of features I couldn't care less about.

While clicking around the web the other day, I found an article on Wired discussing why blogging is dead. Immediate thoughts of "man, are they dead wrong" stormed through my head before I had even read the article. Reading it however revealed that the author had some good points. While the "Blogging is dead" mantra is se (Read More)

: Oh, the article about the death of blogging!. I just read it today and left a comment. He had some good points but it was clearly sensationalist and may harm the feelings of millions who still blog from a modest personal blog. Somebody recommended it to me this morning so I figure it must be gaining a lot of buzz, since I am in Spain and this was Wired Magazine. As I said there, it is not the same to say that blogging is changing that launching sensationalist prophecies. The future will tell. By the way, thanks for the add. I will keep Disqus in mind.

John McCain did great tonight in the debate. But every time John mentioned “Joe the Plumber,” some of us in the campaign banged our heads against the wall.

I went on LinkedIn for the first time in months today and accepted about 150 pending contact requests. Great. Now what? I never find much use for LinkedIn except for people trying to contact me -- typically for things I'm not really interested in.

: @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.

The media world is changing and its jobs are changing too. The rise of the blogger is an often-told story, but are the lucky few bloggers who do it for a living well paid? We did a survey to find out. We asked 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants to tell us how much they get paid, by the post, by the ho (Read More)

Friends, Romans, countrymen, followers, page views, in-bound links, share of voice, unique visitors and subscribers. These are just some of the more common ways serious content creators (and those who hope to reach them) measure online influence. However there are big flaws in all of these metrics.

: I semi disagree. Using blogs as an example, I know several well known and highly influential beauty and fashion blogs who previously held a page rank of 6. When Google last did it's major shake up a few months ago and stated that affiliate links needed to have a "no follow" tag in the code, these blogs suddenly became a 3. They had been using affiliate links in their posts without no follow tags. To any advertiser, marketer or PR person coming upon these blogs for the first time after the Page Rank striping, a 3 is mediocre and it would be assumed that they may not have much of an influence in the blogosphere--and they would be mistaken. Of course, you also have those bloggers who have been around a while that may be jumping off of the Blogger.com bandwagon and establishing their own domains. Automatically they start from scratch with page rank even if their traffic came with them.However, I do agree that it is something that takes time to build and is earned and I do think page rank is part of a well rounded look at the quality of a site. What do you think of the splogs out there that have gained page rank despite being entirely stolen content?
Oct 07, 2008
: @karenswim This is exactly what I was discussing with someone the other day! Influence is more spread out and not solely contained to one location for a specific "influencer." The conversations that take place may be fragmented because of this, but it doesn't make them or the person initiating the conversation any less important or influential due to the page rank being higher or lower for a particular profile/page.
