Yoono excites me for so many reasons, mostly, as I have been craving a one stop shop where I can log in and manage most of [hopefully, it will be all] the ’social networks’ I belong to in once place, with the simple click of a button. They are a sidebar/browser add-on where you […]

Just about 6 weeks ago, I wrote a post about Twitter being a great evolution of IM, moving to EM, which I called “everywhere messaging”. Well, in the weeks since, I have come to realize it is really about EP, “everywhere publishing” - but not just […]

Once again, I was in need of the latest Ping Server List for a client’s Blog, but I could not find a decent one anywhere that was up to date (if you don’t know - a ping server is a computer that gets notified when a new Blog post is published). Chris Abraham wrote […]

This YouTube video documents Time Warner putting up “Superman Returns, The Movie” as a YouTube user, then having >7000 fans in a week. The “fans” are all accounts created the week beforehand. They’re stuffing the ballot box, as it were, to get more visibility for the Superman Returns movie.
