I was thinking about all the data we lifestream. What does this data say about us? How valuable is this data in the right corporation’s hands?

Kyle Lacy recently wrote a posting asking, when does a subscription turn into a relationship? While I don’t think there is a simple answer for this question, relationships offline should be formed and encouraged. People that I follow through online social media, I follow because our interests are pretty much similar. There are at least [...]

I posted a few days ago on FriendFeed about wanting to get more social with my bookmarking. I primarily was referring to using all the features of Diigo to their full extent.

In the quest towards becoming early adapters, we often sign up for anything and everything. It seems every other day there are new services launching. Most of us feel we need to stake an early claim within that service just in case the it actually takes off. While a few make it, the majority fade [...]
I am always on the search for the latest and greatest social media applications. I am often too quick to sign up for a service based solely on hype. Perhaps most of us technophiles are an easy sell. Mention the word “beta” and you have a new instant subscriber, no questions asked. Whether or not [...]
Last week I decided to stray from the herd on FriendFeed. My mission was to spend five days getting to know the people that I follow better. For five days I only commented, liked and shared content of individuals in my member circle. For the most part the experiment was a success. My mistake was [...]

I focused in on my last post, about how Friendfeed could be a great resource for spammers. Delving further into the subject, it got me thinking. With Friendfeed becoming a social bank of information, it would be an ideal tool for private investigators, law enforcement, debt collectors and so forth. We are so quick to [...]
With the steady growth that Friendfeed is experiencing, it’s just a matter of time before the problem of spam infiltrates it.Friendfeed is still the shiny new toy that only the people in the know, know about. Because of this, the critical masses and the spammers have not caught on quite yet. The clock is ticking…. [...]
