Google Profiles Competes in Social Media Space

PR Engine for Twitter

Yet another Twitter use. Check out my recent FastCompany blog Media Tech regarding the Media Database which permits easy contact with the media, especially the tech writers and reporters. Also an easy way to follow them on Twitter if Twitter is a source of news for you.

Internet History

Good article from Crave/CNET.UK on the top 50 moments of internet history. Worth checking out! Pretty amazing list, even the honorable mentions.

Who's Counting?

Good article on Web metrics by Jason Pontin in MIT Tech Review. Jason got most of my quotes right and I am grateful for his use of my thinking throughout this article. MIT Technology Review definitely takes my venues up a notch! But there is one thing. We DO take audiences into account when we buy. We just don't buy TOTAL audience of a web site. Oh well, as the saying goes, call me anything you like, but just call me.

The Consumer Connection

Check out my recently posted entry on my Fast Company blog, Media Tech. The use of Facebook Connect and Twitter alongside mainstream edit on sites is the latest in the integration of social media into the mainstream. Now you can chat with your friends or see what others are saying about an event while interacting with that event on the Web. No need to switch back and forth from one page to another. This integration of content and consumer content is facilitated by the open APIs of social sites like Twitter and Facebook. Amazing progress.

Video SEO, Video SEM

Searching for video on the Web takes different tools and different processes. Mediasmith's Abe Snyder, Senior Media Planner (with me as editor) provides a basic tutorial talking about the current and future state of this process.
