I just read on Mashable the top ten news reader. I personally use Google Reader which was rated #1. Which one would you use and why?

This is another example of one of the social media tenets of "transparency".

At a Kaplan prep class for a graduate school test, the instructor said that he knew for a fact that many schools admissions have access to a special type of Facebook admin rights where they can view...

Oh that is so funny. But not to be a devil's advocate, but most companies prefer a .com because you hardly ever see a .com on the search engine result pages, with the exception of .gov, .edu, and...

I found something on Digg but its one year old - http://digg.com/tech_news/It_s_Official_Facebook_Spamming_Becoming_Trend

I had to research the one place I always research - Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_telephone_excise_tax

Yes, I do believe that having too many irrelevant "friends" and "followers" increase the social network clutter.

Thanks for the warning. Phishers have become more smarter int heir approach and unfortunately so many people fall into it. I did back years ago with aol and then now even emails from those accounts...

Ning is an example of a good worthy technology that was just displaced with newer and more popular sites. Does anyone remember Copernic? I used to pay for Copernic search services back in the mid...

OMG - I am laughing so hard. This is really funny. Thanks for the chuckle. Damn, I bet you the majority of today's HS students wont know about the Spanish American War. I betcha the total revenue...

I hate to break it to you kiddo, but the most popular porno site names are very taken. I strongly recommend you to go to Domain or another domain name buying site and enter names. It will give you a...

Very good question. I remember Guy Kawasaki said at a conference earlier this year that he follows everyone who follows him. There were many disgruntled look in the big audience room shortly...

Which social media research tools do you use to find your target audience? I have been told twitter search and google ad planner. Is there anything else?

I am created a few Ning groups in the past but not anymore and though it was nice to create them, the communities quickly died because members did not contribute content. So I wonder if this was a...

Though many sites have google analytics, there are others who use paid web analytical tools. Thus, if you used these paid toold, which one did you use and why? Did you find it useful or helpful? I...

I know others who have used that tool. I personally would not use such a service and unless I can personally go through every single member and send a DM myself. I like to keep that personal...

Yes, but I just heard yesterday that many rebate checks have to be paid back so you never ever know what extent government will take to expunge extra cents from tax payers. There is even a funny...

Thanks for bringing these issues up. It is a form of community violation and most of all, a violation of trust.

What if the government taxed you to be on social media? Would it discourage you from using social media? I heard a similar thing about paying tax for email but I have not seen it. What do you think?

I have been using Webtrends to look for PPC success metrics and it sure could be a pain. Different parts of webtrends generate different results for the same period. Have anyone else experienced this?

Is there an easy or efficient way to convert Facebook Friends into Fans of a Facebook Page? Is there a facebook migration program or something? Or is it just the old fashion way of just asking each...

Though not directly answering your question, I once reviewed analytics for a similar microsite started from a blogging platform and my advice, from an analytics perspective, is make sure that all the...

"Vintage"!!! OMG - I am getting old. I remember when AOL was the in thing to do.

Thanks for mentioning Digby. I never heard of them but I will definitely check it out and let you know. My overall question is, will people just stop using these accessories?

I have two Mac Book Pros at home and I bought a netbook because I thought it be good to have a PC. It has crashed so many times it is a reminder on why I went Mac in the first place.

Oh that's a good one Marketing Rob. A good spit ball can poke you on the eye! ouch. :-)

Very good point Jay. I think at my office, I am the only one who uses AOL.

Dealing with certain publishers, I came to realized that many publisher sites either say that their media player does not capture this information or do not want to release such information (perhaps...

Now I ask who doesn't benefit from social media? An example are some content sites that have not even added social bookmarking links on their sites.

Oh I was not aware of it. But Im glad Facebook has some regulation in place about spammers. I wonder if Myspace had a similar policy. I dont think they did because Myspace became very spammy.

Dont forget the word "social" from social media. You have to make yourself/company social by engaging with the other followers/fans. It cant be totally static.

One possible explanation can be that the decision makers pushed for that certain day and then the developers created something but it was not in "perfect" shape. Its like being pushed for last minute...

Let us know how Google Wave is. Do keep us posted. Thanks

Well thanks for sharing. It be interesting to see a stat on the # of e-learners who actually finish the program.

Hi
Can you please explain what all of those names are? I am not familiar with any of them. Thanks

Oh I like that!! Its true. The only people I know who use AOL are part of the older generation.

True even though I have noticed that the majority of responses and threads started on LinkedIn groups were created by consultants and solo practitioners.

Those are interesting answers. I personally used Yahoo Answers to post a question on food and recipes and I was surprised to have received at least a dozen recipes by Foodies out there within a few...

Thanks for sharing the stories. It does demonstrate to me that there is some form of enforcement on Facebook, even if its user generated.

I never heard of ClickEquations. I will check it out. Thanks
