Google Blog Search: "social media"
While I like and use Facebook and Twitter, there’s enough hype and abuse of words like innovation, transformation and revolution around all things social media that a critique is warranted - if only to take a shot at calibrating how people talk about this stuff.

: "Social media consultants writing about social media have inherent biases. It’s difficult to take posts like this about social media seriously, as it’s written by someone from a social media consulting firm without an ounce of humility or perspective.

All Facebook
Earlier today Facebook turned on a feature to let users receive text updates from public profiles, the same way that Twitter users can receive mobile updates from specified profiles. It’s a small change but for brands it adds a lot of potential. Mobile broadcasting is a huge feature for companies that are looking to reach (Read More)

Over the past year, all the major tech blogs have done round-up articles of great Greasemonkey scripts to use with Twitter (including us). What this says about Twitter's native functionality we aren't sure, but we know we've had upwards of 10 separate scripts installed and active at different times.All that is going to end, (Read More)
The Inquisitr
It is always interesting to see just who from our traditional forms of media grasp the ideals of social media and our new media world. Back in December of last year I wrote about musician Peter Himmelman and the interesting stuff that he was doing online.
