Is everyone supporting social media at your company? Are you struggling to get the support you need?

Ever hear two people arguing and then someone dismisses their differences like this: “Well, that’s just semantics”?

Facebook recently changed the way users interact with content on fan pages: any user, including non-fans, can now post on fan page walls and like/comment/share fan page content.

There’s something sexy about the old way of doing things. In an age where we jot notes on our laptops and phones, we still buy journals.

I’m currently a little too obsessed with the musician/DJ Skrillex, as he’s known (real name Sonny Moore). He’s become the “from out of nowhere” face of a movement. Interestingly, he’s not the face of dubstep itself, exactly, but instead, I’d offer that he’s the face of “the mainstream’s introduction to dubstep.” The distinction is huge. [...]... - Throw Away the Maps6 February 2012, 9:30 am
People judge us by the path they’ve seen us walk before. They can’t anticipate our future steps. We, ourselves, look to how things have been, what seems to be the lay of the land, without realizing that the maps are not the territory. Want to succeed at work? Then don’t try to do your job.

The rage in social networks right now is Pinterest, partly because it’s probably the first social network that has a much higher adoption rate by females than males, and partly because it’s an interesting concept: somewhere between visual social bookmarking and scrapbooking. What also might not be immediately obvious is that it’s just “easier” to [...]... - Learn From Adele – Build Your Platform3 February 2012, 9:30 am
Jacq and I just watched Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall (amazon affiliate link), and though every song was just wonderfully done, I found myself fascinated by what Adele was doing in between each song.

- Browser Shootout Shows Minor Variations In Performance – It’s Still A Matter Of Taste23 February 2012, 12:40 am
The browser wars are in a tense state of suspension right now. The once-obvious advantages of one and disadvantages of another can't be counted on as much as they could a year ago, and fast-changing standards and interaction methods have produced a sort of uneasy détente while everyone awaits the browser equivalent of the Manhattan Project to catapult them into the atomic age. Tom's Hardware just did a nice, thorough examination of the available browsers on Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and the findin... - As Journalists And Video Bloggers Are Killed, SyriaPioneer Lives On23 February 2012, 12:19 am
It goes without saying that the death of veteran Sunday Times war correspondent Marie Colvin and the French photographer Remi Ochlik - after an artillery shell hit their makeshift press centre in the Syrian city of Homs - is tragic. It's also testament to the lengths to which journalists often go to get the story. But equally, the use of new technology by 'citizen journalists' has been equally significant in documenting the deadly acts of the Syrian government against its own people. Among thos... - Apple, Google, And Others Agree To Mobile App Privacy Policy Guidelines22 February 2012, 11:21 pm
Though Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, Amazon, and HP don't always see eye-to-eye, the six of them have entered into an agreement brokered by California Attorney General Kamala Harris to take a tougher stance on the issue of mobile privacy. Going forward, the six companies involved must provide users with a privacy policy if the app in question collects personal information. Though the move will affect the app submission and downloading process for users the world over, it was designed to bring ... - First Floor Labs Sold A Company To Facebook, Graduated Three YC Startups, And Is Accepting Applications22 February 2012, 10:53 pm
Last Friday I visited the Aol* building on Page Mill Road in Palo Alto. But instead of the stench of death and decay you would normally find at a dying company, I found joy and the hustle and bustle of youth. More importantly, I found startups, tens of startups with founders eager to show me around the various VC firms (SoftTech, Morado) and incubators occupying the building's first floor. Because someone brilliant at Aol decided to give away the space to startup incubators instead of renting i... - #1 FB Dating App Zoosk’s New Model: Seducing Couples With Advice and Date Discounts22 February 2012, 10:40 pm

As you probably know, bistable or passive displays like the E-Ink ones in e-readers focus on battery life and readability rather than color and interactivity. The latest devices have been optimized for fast page refreshes and touch operation, but generally you're still waiting a half a second or so for the screen to flip over to the next page, menu, or what have you. But that's not all they're capable of. We've seen hacks before, but this one definitely takes the cake.... - HP Q1 Revenue Down 7 Percent To $30B, Net Income Down 44 Percent, Software Sales Up 30 Percent22 February 2012, 9:22 pm

Aiming to become one of the giants of online advertising, ad retargeting startup AdRoll has hired Googler Suresh Khanna as its vice president of sales. In nearly six years at Google, Khanna held a number of roles. Most recently, he was director of new advertiser sales, where he says he led the North American team for acquiring mid-market and larger advertisers. Until now, Khanna says AdRoll hasn't had anyone focused on building out the sales team, so one of his big goals is to "attract rock sta... - Tabber Adds An LED Light Show To Any Guitar22 February 2012, 8:54 pm
Tabber is an upcoming Kickstarter project that essentially adds an LED light show to your guitar and, more importantly, allows you to learn to play chords and solos by following the lights on the fretboard. The idea is definitely not new. The Fretlight guitar beat these guys to the punch and I wonder what patent issues they will have to deal with. However, as an idea, it's pretty ingenious. The Tabber is a "sleeve" that fits over the neck of your guitar and it should work, as the folks at Tabbe... - Sociable Labs’ EverShare Adds FB Auto-Sharing And Pinterest Boards To Any Site22 February 2012, 8:49 pm

- Pinterest is to Facebook as Storify’s new iPad app is to Twitter22 February 2012, 8:02 am
Back in 2010 I wrote this article about the need for content curation software. Storify is it. Here’s a look at its new iPad app which is very awesome. Why is this important? Well, let’s look at the past 10 years. 2000 (about) Blogging with Blogger or Radio Userland. 2007 Twitter 2008 Facebook 2010 Tumblr [...]... - Why I am tired of Silicon Valley’s focus on virality, Glassmap is far worse than Path ever was22 February 2012, 7:32 am
You might have seen all the people beating up on Path about two weeks ago.

I might as well have titled this “Hacker News vs Marketers.” Or “Hacker News vs Bloggers.” Or “jerks vs nice people.” But I never participate in Hacker News for a few reasons and I just was faced with these reasons again when I read the responses there to my blog post yesterday. 1.

The date was January 3, 2008. Facebook had kicked me off for running a script to try to save the common web. See, I worked with Plaxo to run a simple script.

Lots of people think Facebook is overvalued, at about $100 billion (it just released their S1, announcing its IPO). But in talking with developers, like I did with Foodspotting’s founder, Alexa Andrzejewski, and in reading the S1 I see that Facebook has left most of the potential revenue on the table. That makes me think [...]...

- Changing the look of your Search Result Pages22 February 2012, 1:37 pm
I love Google, I seriously do. What I don't like too much is them adding more and more fluff to my search result pages (or SERPs) that I really don't want or need. Most of us know about their new Terms of Service now, right?

Sometimes it’s easy15 February 2012, 1:50 pm
I'll be honest, this post is somewhat of a "boast". But since "boast" rhymes with "Yoast", I think it's allowed. Recently we did a website review for "How do you say that Word?".

Robots.txt is a way to tell a search engine which pages it's allowed to spider, to "see", and which pages it cannot "see".

Yesterday, Google launched "Search plus your World", intermixing search and social and providing even more "personalized" results. There's a lot of outcry about some parts of this, with people saying they don't want "personalized" results.

There’s a certain logic to the concept of spending the most ad dollars in places where people spend the most time. But then, bus shelter ads are effective.

Apparently, when Facebook filed its plans to go public, analysts saw nothing but “red flags” that the social network had thus far failed to monetize its 425+ million mobile users… The disclosure sent up red flags for analysts, because the company also said it does not “currently directly generate any meaningful revenue from the use [...]... - Google Privacy Uproar Continues but What’s Really Going On?21 February 2012, 12:47 pm

By Susan Huynh, Forecast Analyst Recently I published a forecast about mobile subscriptions and mobile subscribers (people) by region, worldwide. In 2012, more than half of the world's population -- around 4.3 billion people -- will own at least one mobile handset. In emerging markets, where the penetration of landline phone connections has been low, the adoption of mobile phones has soared over the past five years. Mobile handsets are able to provide a cheaper and more convenient means of telec... - The Data Digest: Mobile Banking Uptake17 February 2012, 11:36 am
The New York Times recently published an article based on a Forrester report (Mobile Is The New Face Of Engagement) about the uptake of smartphones worldwide in the years to come. And for 2011 it was estimated that just under 500 million smartphones were shipped. Knowing the drivers behind the growth of smartphones gives businesses confidence in mobile technology investment -- even when uptake is currently still limited. In the US today, Consumer Technographics® data shows that mobile usage ... - Showing Facebook Love On Valentine's Day14 February 2012, 6:20 pm

Over the weekend, one of the most reputable online retailers in the US, Zappos, broke the news that its database was hacked and that the information for about 24 million user accounts was breached.

My colleague Reineke Reitsma and I have been championing mobile market research for quite some time. In fact, we published the first Forrester report on this emerging and innovative methodology back in 2009. In the report, Reineke wrote about the value of its mobility and flexibility to gather insights into consumers' behavior anytime and anywhere. And for mainstream adoption to occur, hurdles such as cost, technology, privacy, and representation must be addressed. At that time, I thought the gr... - The Data Digest: Understanding The Changing Needs Of Online Consumers In Asia Pacific6 January 2012, 11:00 am

What does that mean? Well, the second one is easy: The vast majority of consumers around the world who have access to a computer use social media. And the first one? George goes on to say that Americans are spending more time on social media than volunteering, praying, talking on the phone, emailing, or even ex...
