After reading Louis Gray’s positive post the other day, I tried out Social|Median. Perhaps I wanted the wrong things from the service, but it didn’t work all that well for me. Here’s what I thought I could do: Start my own mini-Digg news network focused on a single keyword (in my case, “book (Read More)

Google has experimented with search features that let users vote on search results, and/or recommend other results than those given, since late 2007.

: Great find - I first noted that three police departments were on Facebook (there are now five) and two (there's now a third, but no posts yet, though they have 5 followers) are on Twitter. I made some suggestions in our recent book that police departments could find innovative ways to communicate with the communities, and I have been impressed with those who are (and I am waiting patiently for the tens of thousands who are not). I delved a little deeper into a hypothetical scenario in a post on Social Network Commerce.I have noted also that a fire department is Twittering (update: Now there's a second). The @LAFD has a very active presence in the Twitterverse, and they add followers by the day (you can follow them, too) though they are only following one. And I just realized that there are nine (yes, 9) Fire Departments on Facebook -- wow! And yesterday (Wednesday, April 30, 2008), while Twittering with Chris Brogan (@chrisbrogan), I learned from @wscottw3 (yeah, the Comcast guy) that Amber Alerts are on Twitter, too - see @Amber_Alert, whose Twitter Feed is directly from the national website DM. http://carterfsmith.blogspot.com/2008/04/amber-alerts-using-social-web-at-least.html Add something

I agree with Rob on this one. Social Median does lots of stuff well but it's just not what I need. ...
