Social Media Time Machine

All I am saying to you now is that social media doesn’t need to be some great leap forward in human progress. It doesn’t need to be a fad, a trend, a bubble.

How Many Hats Do You Wear?

I guess I’ve got this feeling that the 21st Century is opening so many new doors to people, that, well, we won’t need to focus all our energies on just one specific profession. Now of course, the criticism of this is that when you don’t have just one thing, you end up making less money. For now, I think that is true. But I also think that is preferable.

Why Facebook Can’t Believe In Privacy

Brand Damage May 13, 2010
The Social Web Vs. Privacy

The truth is that Facebook can’t believe in privacy anymore because if it does, it doesn’t have much of a future. The future of Facebook (and of every other social network) lies in its ability to monetize its user base. The best way to monetize your user base is to collect and organize that highly detailed and targeted information and sell it to marketers.

Foursquare is Improving

Every business venue has a unique ID on Foursquare’s platform, and what Foursquare has done is make it exceptionally easy for business owners (or their marketing or PR firms) to claim their business.
