Everyone likes to talk about the death of traditional news outlets like papers and the evening news. Of course, that doesn’t mean people aren’t interested in current affairs.
In fact, I would argue that many people are mostly concerned that they aren’t getting the news currently enough. This has led to all sorts of email alerts, [...]
Actually, the headline is kind of roundabout. Scoble is actually talking about “early-adopters” vs. “late-adopters”
“I’ve seen this discussion happen EVERY TIME there’s a new technology. I remember back in 1977 that only nerds could use personal computers. Very few people (not even Steve Jobs or Bill Gates) understood just how big that would become.
I remember [...]
For those interested in or baffled by Twitter, Greg Verdino has a great roundup of the latest posts out there concerning the hottest (or most overrated) addition to the social media universe.
I have to admit Twitter continues to grow on me even though I tend to agree with a lot of the skeptical press about [...]
If nothing else, Twitter continues to bring out the strong opinions. AdRants has a nice overview of the current war of words (here, here) between “marketing guru” Seth Godin and blogger Ryan Kuder.
It’s fascinating to see how Twitter evolves - since it is basically a completely open communication forum it is up to the users [...]
Flickr, the popular photosharing site, has just added the option to upload video to the site as well. Wait, you say, isn’t that just YouTube? Yup. Only YouTube lets you upload video of any length (with the right authorization) while Fickr sets a limit of 90 seconds.

Love it, hate it or have no idea what the hell it is, Twitter seems to definitely (kinda) finally making some ripples outside the early-adopter society. That means that everyone must now ask whether or not Twitter will become the next ubiquitous web “thing” like Google, Facebook or email (ed. note: not actually convinced Facebook [...]
PointOH has a good post about his Twittering experiences.
“After weeding out some of the ranters a couple weeks ago, I’m having a much easier time managing Twitter and can stay up-to-date with most of the people I follow pretty easily. While I find the Twitter site fairly useless, except to read the profiles of other [...]
One thing I have noticed since getting into Twitter is how much users love trying to explain why Twitter is so great.
B.L. Ochman is one such Tweeter and she has a pretty good post on the subject today:
“Lots of people laugh at Twitter, call it a waste of time and worse, and, that’s just fine [...]
Patricia Mayo over on NowSourcing has a pretty interesting look at some of the ways that Twitter has proven useful to her:
“Since I, myself, didn’t discover that until I actively started using Twitter - the only way to show you is to let you see what I see. In this weekly Overheard on Twitter, you [...]
Of all the things about Twitter that has surprised me (and my love of the service was the first big surprise) is that it seems to be the first major social networking trend(fad?) not being driven by Gen Y and younger.
