I have just been saying something that is supported by today's episode of rocketboom for quite some time.
The first half of the video (0:00-2:48) talks about how having a community both contributing and adding value to content creates a much more rich experience than any single entity could provide, then the Frenchman asks, "So you think business could benefit from this type of collaboration?" See the resulting discussion (2:48-5:12).
Why, Facebook?
"Social networks to date have been these big unmanageable messes. Facebook is addressing that by giving users a tool to consolidate the information they care about." -Fred Wilson, via Scripting News
"one user, one vote--that's the rule" say the top 5 digg users after Jay and Kevin promise to take the wieght off of top voter's diggs.
Wow.
First of all, thank you Wordpress for including the Technorati ego widget on the dashboard of my favorite blogging software. Second, thanks to Technorati for being an awesome blog search engine. I'm sure that's how some of my new traffic has been coming in.
It's called Liberatr::Art::meta(), and I chose that name because it builds on my brand, it attracts the geeks, but it contains the word Art. I am hoping I am covering all my bases here.
There are two shows, one covering Refresh Orlando, and another for DIH Magazine. I originally recorded one with Jake, but the audio quality was not good, and the discussion was a little slow.
They pretty much say it all here on their blog.
Robert Scoble is a champion of blogging, podcasting, video and naked conversations. See what he had to say about corporate identity in his blog just now:
From Scobleizer on 07/11/2006:
Quick, do a little project with me. Visit the home pages of Nestle and Quixtar.
Without clicking anywhere find me a real human being. Not one made out of a stock photo agency.
I decided to put some ads on Aleshia's Site since she is starting to write more often now, and it appears she has readers and commenters as well!
I have never heard of Josh Hallet or Hyku until today, but I read over on the Weblogs Work Blog (AKA Big in Japan) that josh is putting together a blogger meetup day here in the City Beautiful. Awesome.
I just came across the blog at Ibiblio.com after checking out Lyceum, which is an great project I will likely be writing about soon. Apparently the guy who writes the blog has an assignment to do statistics for the Facebook, because he has a whole article just about Freshman usage statistics at a particular school.
Before I get too far, I just want to mention this huge announcement:
Liberatr Presents Marc with a C at Stardust
