In so far as I like to react to things in the style of Navin R. Johnson, let me say “The new Twitter is here, the new twitter is here!”

Google Chat Adoption Anecdote
This is the first time this has happened to me: I’ve had lots of friends available on chat for a long time, but this is the first time there were many available, and all had video chat enabled. Google’s push … Continue reading

Angry Cows Prove Gmail Calling & Google Voice Useful
Google recently introduced free calling from within Gmail – allowing users (in the U.S. at least) to call domestically for free, and call internationally for very cheap. Here’s why this is interesting:
• It’s a play at Skype and “SkypeOut” – their VoIP to phone service. Google is trying to get the huge user base of Gmail accustomed to chatting, video chatting, and even making phone calls through Gmail.
• It’s defense against Facebook whose chat services are being adopted and used a ton by Facebook users (i.e. everyone). You’d also better believe that Facebook is going to continue to improve its messaging feature, which one day may rival full feature email services like Gmail.
• This is the beginning of the end of phone numbers as we know them. Continue reading

Verizon + HTC Incredible + Froyo = Big Fail
Note to social media managers: If you see a big chunk of your user base getting really really excited about something you’re not going to deliver, you should reach out and tell them that it ain’t gonna happen. And you should do it as soon as you possibly can or else the anticipation will continue to grow, and the pending disappointment will grow along with it, delivering a much more substantial blow when it finally arrives.
This is a short lesson for us all about how telling the simple truth early can save untold headaches later… Continue reading

Why Jørgen hates nested acceleration platforms
Oh Jørgen! Why do you doubt the amazingness of the internet?! You are so crazy like these guys!!
Have you heard of One Million Giraffes? It’s one of my favorite kinds of viral/social experiments on the web. Pointless, but not really. Simple, but executed at a scale that makes it complex. Fun, and with a connection to the tangible world – that is, not entirely digital. And most importantly, it takes full advantage of the third wave of disruption that is currently occurring – the advent of nested acceleration platforms on top of the web as an infrastructure.

Enterprise Admins! Secure Your Facebook Pages
There is an important detail about Facebook Pages Admin Settings that many Page admins are not aware of, and it represents an important security flaw that needs to be remedied.

Chatroulette Breaks the Web’s Fifth Wall of Content Production
Chatroulette is one of the newest memes on the web and in the world, and although the technology behind it is nothing new, it has tapped into the spirit of the new web – specifically, the idea that we are all content producers now, and that the barriers have been lowered to a laughable extent in terms of who is able to create content. Chatroullette is a video chat site that randomly connects two guests to each other from anywhere around the world. It is dominated by young single white men and perverts, but deep within the layers of perversion there is something beautiful and wonderful there. It was all explained extremely well by Casey Neistat in this awesome video (that you may have already seen)… Continue reading

Google Media Player

Jeff Goldblum, George Clooney Not Dead
These pages are fake. Hoaxes. If you rolled over, or clicked on any of the other links in the pages that looked very much like news sites with tabs like “Business” and “World News,” etc., you would see that all navigation links on the page link back to the page you are already reading. That is, there is no navigation. There is no rest of the site. There is just what looks like a navigation bar to give the illusion of a site. Continue reading

Twitter’s (almost) Business Model
There has been much debate about Twitter revolving around opinions that it lacks a reason for being, revenue, business model, and ultimate fiscal viability. And yet some really really smart, really really rich VC investors not only dumped an additional … Continue reading

Twitter is a Search Engine
Twitter is a Real Time Capable Social Search Engine. Here’s a little piece that was part of another Twitter related blog post of mine, but it’s important, and I think it was getting lost behind the rest of the post.
