Twitter Fearing To Make Money But Not Afraid to Borrow Money

January 25th, 2009 at 8:57 pm » Comments (2)

I am not in charge over at Twitter and perhaps after this post we will know why. I was catching up on reading about news on Techmeme this evening and saw that Twitter was raising more capital. I had the same reaction to this as did Ashkan Karbasfrooshan with his take on the similarities to [...]



Social Media Tools Like Twitter Can Be Tough To Implement

December 4th, 2008 at 10:30 am » Comments (1)

I struggle to help some companies not in the cool kids group get the traction they deserve and help with with the use of tools just like Twitter, which brings us full circle to my point (we had to get there sooner or later). … I get many people that follow me on Twitter and when I go to their twitter page they have perhaps 10 updates in the last 6 months or even not at all and they have 3000 people they are following and have about 100



Twitter Keeps Flying But Magpie Makes The Money

November 25th, 2008 at 12:06 am » Comments (9)

As I was growing up in rural Colorado, we had plenty of opportunities to see magpies in their environment. They were usually standing over the latest roadkill. Basically they are scavengers. They get fed from nothing they have done on their own but finding the opportunity. I draw that picture to my own mind and [...]



Twitter Is The Epitome of Social Media

November 24th, 2008 at 1:07 pm » Comments (0)

I have been busily working out my Twitter thoughts here in the last few days as it has become apparent that I have a slight addiction that needs to be fed now and then as it relates to how I use the service.  I have, at this writing, just under 3000 people or organizations [...]



Social Media From Riches to Rags

February 5th, 2008 at 9:08 pm » Comments (0)

I had to jinx myself as a result of my bragging about touching everything and having it turn to gold.  The pendulum has swung as it relates to my quote:
Then after the 4 years we have been going here, I have a week like this one where everything clicks.  Everything I touch turns to gold [...]



The Death and Perhaps Destruction of a Social Network: A Sad But True Story

July 20th, 2007 at 3:49 pm » Comments (3)

In the early part of 2005, I became a member of a social network called Soflow.  This social network was an early vision of its founders.  They could see the future and power of growing one’s profile and gathering contacts for business, and other benefits.  I thought that it was such a good idea, [...]



Too Many Social Networks Causes Headaches

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 pm » Comments (8)

I’ve been hearing of many people getting to the point of overload on the number of social networks they belong to and the number of networks they are following.  I have a handle on the feeling and have experienced the same headaches that many suffer from as a result.
I spent Sunday actually building my [...]



FeedBurner FeedFlares give your RSS feeds and posts an added kick

June 29th, 2007 at 8:38 pm » Comments (1)

Are you using FeedBurner to republish your blog’s RSS feed?  Yes?  Awesome!  Now are you using their FeedFlare service/feature?  No?  Well you should, not because it’s cool (okay it is, but that’s not why), but because FeedFlares give both your feed and blog posts added boosts that can help promote your blog, make it easier [...]



Can WordPress Compete Against Moveable Type?

June 10th, 2007 at 12:52 pm » Comments (1)

I was reading Anil Dash’s post today about the launch of Moveable Type 4. My blog life was born using the Moveable Type Platform. At the time I began blogging, I was of the opinion that MT was the one and only platform for me. It was the choice of many of the top bloggers [...]
