Technorati has been an icon of the blogosphere since Dave Sifry began the company to track blogs and provide bloggers with statistics and search.  It was the first thing people downloaded to their blogs, and the first part of setting up a blog.  They seem to have lost that celebrity status.  There are so […]

I have been thinking about the comment left on my post about Blog Talk Radio and their attempt at monetizing their application.  Then I read today over at HipMojo the article about why companies that are basing themselves on ad revenue will fail.  It helped me formulate my own opinion about how companies in the […]

There are many people that believe that social media is some sort of new religion.  In fact, many believe that adopting social media will somehow take them to the promise land, and make them successful beyond their wildest dreams.  This I’m afraid to say is not actually the case.
