Tonight’s Social Media Club Louisville meeting was a panel discussion on blogging. Since the topic is fresh on my mind and it’s been 108 days since I last posted on my blog, I thought I’d at least post something. The image below can explain where I’ve replaced my blog time… it’s on Twitter. […]
After hearing LinkedIn’s announcements of new features, I thought this image perfectly depicted their position. LinkedIn is way ahead, but Facebook and others are encroaching on LinkedIn’s business networking turf. To “flank” Facebook and the numerous startup networks, LinkedIn has added the following features:
Facebook’s feed - Possibly Facebook’s greatest feature is it’s mini-feed where […]
One of the aspects (although unproductive at times) is how I never know the new areas of the web I’ll discover each day. With the advent of social bookmarking, I found many new sites with the likes of del.icio.us, Reddit (rarely digg) and now Mixx. My latest tool for new links is Twitter. […]
Much has been discussed on whether the $15 billion valuation of Facebook is valid. A quick online search show many have opinions. Some say $15 billion isn’t enough, some it’s worth every penny and many say it’s outlandish.
Rather than join the bigger debate, Rob and I decided to analyze what does this valuation […]
I interviewed Marc Freedman who has over 15,000 LinkedIn connections! We discuss how he’s benefited from being a LinkedIn Whore (his words). Marc runs dallasblue.com and several other ventures along with his super networking efforts.
I’m getting more and more into twitter.com. Last week, I was in Dallas for a business/pleasure trip while there were tornado warnings back in Louisville. I normally would hear about the storm AFTER it was over, usually hours or even a day later. Then, I would have to call folks to find out […]
Two of my new friends from my Bay Area Visit are hosting Facebook conferences. I’m getting out of a previous event in hopes I can attend. Noah Kagan is hosting Community Next: Platform and Dave McClure is hosting Graphing Social Patterns two loaded events dedicated to the Facebook plaform.
Both conferences are in early […]
This is part two of my interview with Robin Wolaner. We discuss the benefits she’s seen of social networking for both her startup and personally. Specifically, she references examples of LinkedIn and even MySpace.
If you’re catching up, be sure to catch the first part of our talk, then head over to LinkedIn and add […]
I thought to kick off my whirlwind interview tour, I’d show a clip from last week’s interview with a well-known Valley “guy”… Mr. Truemors himself, Guy Kawasaki.

I’ve been very reluctant to join Facebook, my sister hailed its benefits (she’s in college) and Steven has been urging me to make the switch from MySpace… so Saturday I finally did it. All recent signs have pointed to Facebook, Paul called it the new LinkedIn, Jim likes that FB is free and […]

2- The basic principles of business apply offline and on.
3- A simple mind is easily amazed.
