I’ve begun to realize that social media is not as social, on a personal level, as I had originally thought it was. Most people do not leave comments on other people’s blogs, or respond to them when they’re left on theirs. In Twitter @ statements are rarely answered except when the author is a close [...]

If you agree with one of the following statements, your company does not need to, or should not, use social media.
You hold a monopoly on your goods or services and that monopoly is unlikely to be challenged.
You are successfully employing traditional marketing and public relations strategies and can afford to continue doing so.

So, I was looking for a place to share my recommendations for music, and get them from others. I realized that what I was looking for didn’t exactly exist. So I invented it. Then I named it. Beautiful Trainwreck. So, that’s pretty much it.
Uh, OK. I’ll describe it.

I love things like this. To my mind, this is the reason for technology.
Now, back in the day, you see (that would be pre-Day2.0), and, of course, these days, (well, up until I read this), we used to have to produce smart-ass stuff like this largely by hand. (The exception being the Web Economy Bullshit [...]

A lot of the criticism of the traditional (or mainstream) media in the last few years was one of unacknowledged bias and fear of dialogue.

I’ve conducted a survey of the use by the news media of Twitter, the microblogging service. These results are what I’ve gotten after a week of having the survey open.

Sheer “citizen journalism,” though it has its place, is insufficient to the demands of a new way of doing journalism. It has also so far proven to be largely untenable economically. Corporate journalism is too consolidated and shareholder concerns have robbed it of its mission. At this point ad-driven lust for the “local” is a [...]
