Does Zuckerberg Owe Us an Apology?
BusinessInsider.com released a post yesterday that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admits to making “mistakes” with Facebook and the site’s treatment of its patrons. Robert Scoble, after receiving permission from Zuckerberg, published an email sent to Scoble from Zuckerberg. Hey, We’ve been listening to all the feedback and have been trying to distill it down to the key things we need to improve. I’d like to show an improved product rather than just talk about things we might do. We’re going to be ready to start talking about some of the new things we’ve built...

Facebook is in some part true to the joke about becoming “friends” with all those people you never liked in high school. I have those contacts. Gina Lynette is not one of those people. In reality we didn’t so much know each other, as it was more of a knew of each other. In the recent years we have become friends across the digital divide. We speak every so often on Twitter and Facebook, but since we live in different cities, we never really see each other IRL. Gina posted a picture on Facebook yesterday of a stack of flat empty boxes she had used to move into her new house,...

With the rise of Web 2.0 social media has exploded on the internet. It permeates almost every aspect of your internet experience.

With the emergence of web 2.0, social media has become a mainstream for companies seeking both advertisement and a quick personal interaction with its customers. By the same token, customers have found social media to be an easy path directly to the business they want to contact. One of the main points of social media is that everyone is listening to everyone else. Business has felt the strain here when unhappy clients, no longer relegated to email, voice their displeasure. Companies have been thrust into a kind of “public accountability”. Many, like Comcast, have put employees out...

Well can it? In a word, yes. It’s really not that simple though. Possible yes, but how, is the question. We know from many personal stories that is has been done, so we can look at these examples and find how it is possible to engineer your own digital presence and how people can accomplish their own success through social mediums. It’s all about risks, and being willing to take those risks. Some have landed jobs just because they IM’d the right person at the right time. Some have taken their blogs to new, more profitable, heights. The point here is you’ve got to be...

My second precept: I will be conscious of my relationships in the social media environment and remember that there is a real human attached to that avatar. I’ve already spoken about flame wars so I will not touch on that here. I have a belief that since the population of the web is tired of of what I call shouting, and of the billboards, we need to figure out what will work to drive traffic to our sites. Twitter’s catch is sharing information. Retweets can help topics spread at an incredibly rapid pace. Friendfeed allows for the same kind of sharing and used in conjunction...
