Understanding Facebook Basics
OK, after a couple of posts which discuss the impact of Facebook on the web, let’s get down to “brass tacks” here and see what Facebook is all about at the ground level. After all, like about 150,000 people do every day, I recently created a Facebook profile. On the surface, it appears like most [...]
Does Facebook Represent a Google Killer?
I saw a really interesting (and controversial) viewpoint by Robert Scoble that I thought was very fitting into my look at Facebook this week. He contends that Facebook, along with Mahalo and Techmeme, represent a force that will spell trouble for Google within the next four years. Here, check out these videos by Scoble: Part [...]
Why Facebook Matters
It is really easy to dismiss Facebook as just another social network, likely to go the way of Myspace. Myspace is still very popular, of course, but it’s reputation is tarnished among professionals because of all the really CRAPPY content on there. And, it is true, Myspace has really degenerated a lot, in my opinion. [...]
Twitter a BlowHard Platform?

Last night, I was surfing around, making the usual rounds to keep up with what’s going on. I have noticed on other sites (and never thought much of it) this table of mug shots from a service called MyBlogLog. So, finally, I went ahead and checked it out. Very cool! Essentially, it is a community [...]
Plunge into Deep MySpace
As we all know, Myspace.com is one of the most popular names in social media today. However, it has a reputation amongst professionals of being basically a big teen hangout and not worth time for anybody with serious motives. The age breakdown might be a bit of a surprise, though. Interestingly, in this article on [...]
Is There a Use for MySpace in Business?
Most of us who are not living under a rock have heard something about the Myspace buzz. It seems to be another internet revolution. The business side of this behemoth is something to behold. It was purchased by Rupert Murdoch (of Fox News fame) for $580 million in July of last year. At the time, [...]
