Jeffrey Zeldman’s article, The vanishing personal site, brings to light what many of us have been wondering about in the back of our heads for a while now. Social networks that provide features often found in a personal website captured our fancies and stretched our virtual personas in all directions. That goes for both the [...]
New year, new decade. But we still haven’t gotten past everything Web 2.0. We’re still dealing with the consequences of the social media revolution. The question is, which side are you on? Pull the brakes? We’ve seen people dumping Facebook and still not getting the Twitter mania, but here’s something pretty recent: the Web 2.0 [...]
It all started out with a relatively small number of people who were curious about the “new profile” on Facebook. Apparently, it was supposed to tell your story much more effectively than the previous profile. Some of these early adopters learned, much to their dismay, that once you crossed over there was no turning back. [...]
As Facebook grew bigger and bigger, so did the issues surrounding it. Perhaps one of the biggest issues that the giant social network has always faced is just how secure it is. Left and right, we continue to hear about privacy issues, and how users have a lot to fear in this regard. Recently, however, [...]
I don’t think that Simler will be a Facebook or Twitter killer, but there are several features that interest me enough to not stop thinking about it. (That’s gotta be a good sign right?

Why? Because it’s spammy crap, that’s why. First [...]
Flock 1.0 is out, and it’s branding itself as a social browser. What that means is that they’ve integrated a number of online applications and social networks in the browser, easily accessible via buttons and sidebars. You can post tweets, see what your Facebook friends are up to, upload photos to Flickr, or even post [...]
Information/Pornography The Web 2.0 love-in is already fizzling out. I’m not alone in thinking that we need a new term for what’s happening around us. Om Malik proposes that we just start calling what’s going on “innovation” again, while Steve Rubel coughs up the “Cut and Paste Web“. Very punk rock Steve, but I prefer [...]
When F8 launched and the whole world plus 3 users joined Facebook, many bloggers started crossposting their entries to their Facebook profile, in many cases if without knowing that they handed the credits of their submissions to Facebook. You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Site [...]
Facebook, once more. The platform built by Mark Zuckerberg and his team is about the hit the main market, the Top 10 online, and faces a huge member turn over. The original target group, students, will soon graduate and probably refocus their time occupation and at the same time many new members have joined FB. [...]
