Social Media Power Suit
“Social Media is like a power suit: either get it tailored just for you, or look like everyone else who bought off the rack.”

Erasing the Objections

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] See if these points sound familiar: There’s nothing special about this technology, it’s just another way to communicate. It’s a technology that frees people to express themselves, storing their input sequentially. Innovators are jumping on a bandwagon, which will really be just a fad. There’s a limited base

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] There will be a theme for the next week or so. Disruption and Adjustment. Before last week I had never heard of Ryu Murakami, but he’s at the center of an interesting case that may amplify the tremors of technology. From Robert McCrum in the Guardian: Earlier this

I don’t like talking about current events much, because they have a tendency to soon be not-so-current. But one in particular may signal the tipping point of a trend that is of extreme relevance to the way you and I find useful information.

Content is king. It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following: “Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.” I responded with: “If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.” I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where

Unearned Legacies

Yesterday, I pointed out how Facebook’s automated attempts at peppering me with relevant information had the unintended consequence of creating a virtual seance – connecting with the dead. I don’t really blame Facebook per se, because no one has yet filed to archive Scott’s wall as a memorial account. However, there are still major gaps
Justice in the Digital Age

I was a cardboard-haired teevee news weasel in a previous life. I’ve never regretted leaving, and have no desire to be in a maelstrom today. Two quick thoughts. One is about the massive hoax perpetrated on the media yesterday. A group of activists spoofed the identity of the US Chamber of Commerce, and got several
You Can’t Stop the Signal

You can try to “control the conversation,” but it’s only an illusion. Marketing guru Seth Godin is selling a new “service” to aggregate mentions of a company’s brand. He’s going to aggregate you whether you want it or not, and for a fee he’ll allow you to edit half the page. (Here’s my full commentary
Almost Like Radio

via blogtalkradio.com This morning, Geoff Livingston asked me to fill in for his vacationing partner Richard Laermer for this week’s “The El Show” on BlogTalkRadio. We talked about: the Age of Experts (who don’t always do their homework) balancing life with social media the future of journalism, as it melds with social media I mentioned Scott Karp
