Weather you agree with his politics or not, you have to realize that Barack Obama is a different kind of president. His embrace of social media – and willingness to communicate directly with the American people is a game changer. Kudos to Obama and his team for embracing Social Media – and creating a level… Continue reading Obama leverages Social Media – If this isn’t change… I’m not sure what is…

JustSignal – Turn down the noise and just get the signal.
On Friday, November 21st cosinity released JustSignal – a combined FriendFeed and Twitter application that allows you to turn down the noise and focus in on just those topics or users you find most interesting. As much as I love Twitter and FriendFeed, they can become a giant distraction. Too much noise, not enough signal.… Continue reading JustSignal – Turn down the noise and just get the signal.
Micro-Messaging – Data Interchange Standards and Track
I’ve been hard at work over the past week. Having your own company which you are attempting to bootstrap in this economy and sponsoring an academic project with ASU Polytechnic and – in my spare time – working on the challenges of real-time information discovery and participation is exhausting. Never-mind the two children under 6.… Continue reading Micro-Messaging – Data Interchange Standards and Track
The myth of “everything” – Responses to my view of Track
My post yesterday – specifically regarding the Great Track Debate – received several responses on Twitter, identi.ca and friendfeed. Many of these – really all of them were positive – but the debate is far from settled. I learned something very important from one discussion in particular – that there is a myth that permeates… Continue reading The myth of “everything” – Responses to my view of Track
The evolution of FFStream and the Great Track Debate

FF-Filtered is now focused on providing “your friendfeed – filtered” – and as that implies what it does is filter… Continue reading The evolution of FFStream and the Great Track Debate
XMPP, Track and the Social Media Command Line
Last Friday I created a FriendFeed Real-Time bridge to XMPP. Over the weekend I’ve had several people receiving their home feed in real time over XMPP (GTalk to be specific). I also wrote a post about what I had done and what I intend to do with this going forward. One thing I heard from… Continue reading XMPP, Track and the Social Media Command Line
FriendFeed to XMPP Bridge – Why, how and the plan.
Yesterday I took about and hour and created a FriendFeed to XMPP bridge. The advantage I had was that I was already running a XMPP server and had a working XMPP bot – these existed for my own personal use as well as for cosinity. Why? Primarily this is about information discovery. The ability to… Continue reading FriendFeed to XMPP Bridge – Why, how and the plan.
Social Media is about Aggregation – Not Publishing/Networks
I’ve been using FriendFeed for several months now. As a matter of fact, with the addition of real-time FriendFeed is now my primary Social Media interface. Why? Because the critical attribute which makes Social Media useful (yep, I’m banging on the adding value drum again) is aggregation, not publishing or networks. Publishing and networks are… Continue reading Social Media is about Aggregation – Not Publishing/Networks
John-Scott Dixon on the new book Groundswell
From John-Scott Dixon’s post. I’ve been reading and enjoying a new book called Groundswell. It’s about adapting your company/organization to the new world of social media (Web 2.0). In the book, there are countless examples of companies fighting to maintain control of their brand and corporate messaging. All ultimately reaching the conclusion that it is… Continue reading John-Scott Dixon on the new book Groundswell
