“YouTube, Twitter and Facebook will merge to form one super time-wasting Web site called YouTwitFace”, Conan O’Brien predicted in his hilarious Year 3000 sketch (below). He may not be far wrong: the sites are becoming increasingly intertwined, with YouTube now automatically posting videos to Twitter, and Facebook now movin (Read More)
: I have raised this issue as a result of first hand experience. What i have found-out is that, what is common sense in Western capital is not common in this part of the world. But it's understandable because old money does not want the new money to start flowing without their control.

: One thing I would like to see from people like scoble is creating a small group for those "z-listers". They might have a blog or are a developer, but they have not "hit it big" yet. The idea being, you get to interact with people in the trenches.
: social structure of smaller groups allows for much fast way of communication by and between the members, understanding and assessing the needed change, this is obvious, but I think in a smaller groups there is more respect to each member whereas in large networks everything just another number, the message stay small stay effective

: in my opinion it all a facets on the same coin, so if you are effective in one generally you are effective on all other fronts, sales comes to popular site, popularity is a derivative from good communicaton, etc

I could easily lose my geek cred and early adopter license for this post, but I think a lot of non-early adopters have been wondering, what is the real-time web for? Alexander Van Elsas has an excellent post “calling bs on the real time web.” Basically, he just does not know what use it has, but he sums up the problem nicel (Read More)

Scott Berkun just posted a great rant titled, Calling Bullshit on Social Media. I suggest everyone read it. Berkun raises good points - and I agree the hype around social media warrants taking a critical look.

Twitter has just quietly rolled out a set of changes to its user interface on the “Following” and “Followers” sections of its website. These changes will clearly make it easier to manage who you follow as well as take actions, such as @replying someone or direct messaging them, directly from the page.There are two new views (Read More)
: I think that twitter eyeballing the potential purchase by google so everything they do is to generate humangous traffic and inter-connectivity among people to take as much spot - living space as possible to at least pretent to be on the forefront of everyone/s attention. I think they over do it.
