I drove up to San Francisco yesterday.  I’ve done it at least twice this week, plus a trip to San Mateo and one to Half Moon Bay.  So for a guy not yet drawing a paycheck for his hard work, my gas bill is killing me.  But my parking adventure in San Fransico yesterday was […]

Guy Kawasaki’s AllTop launched frienderati.alltop.com today.  Or yesterday maybe.  But it’s being talked about this morning over on Mashable and TechCrunch and of course, FriendFeed.  It looks like Frienderati is listing the most followed people.
Which got me thinking:  What if all of a sudden, they weren’t the most followed anymore?  Here’s an experiment…
Everyone unfollow everyone […]

If you don’t write a blog, you’re likely unaware of the amount of comment spam that comes through on a daily basis.  This blog is but a blip on the internet and I get about 5-10 per day.  I moderate comments for this blog (a relatively easy proposition), but some of the bigger blogs use […]

I’m blogging with StarWarsCrawl.com.  From now on…

(If for some reason you don’t see the embedded video, it’s here)
P.S. I know it’s too big, but I don’t know how to shrink it. The Force is not with me.

There’s been some discussion recently on visions for social media. John Furrier’s somewhat satirical take is here. Fred Wilson gives his take here. Fred’s vision for social media is “every single human being posting their thoughts and experiences in any number of ways to the Internet.” Fred expected that some would […]

I’m tremendously excited to introduce my FIRST EVER guest blogger, Kathleen Lisson. I wrote somewhat tongue in cheek the other day how it had been nine days since I posted. And if you blog, you know how weak that is (my excuse: I’m starting a company…been kinda busy). Anyways, Kathleen […]

Paul Bragiel from Meetro posted a detailed post-mortem on the demise of Meetro.  Meetro is, er…was, a location service that would figure out where you are and introduce you to people nearby.  Brightkite is currently working in this space and seems to have some momentum among early adopters.  Meetro started in Chicago and worked on […]

I casually mentioned this morning that it’s been nine days since I blogged.  My friend Mike suggested that I blog about it.
Here ya go, Mike.  Any more brilliant ideas for posts?

Here’s a hilarious cartoon about the funniest of all topics…social networking. I mean, just the words “social networking” make you crack up, right? Or is that just me? Whatever. Anyways, have a great weekend. BTW, Friendster is my favorite (in the cartoon…not IRL).
