Facebook, FourSquare, Social Networking, and . . . GetGlue?
I threatened more on Social Networking yesterday. Would I lie? To nobody’s surprise, Facebook has unveiled their newest toy; Facebook Places lets you “check in” from wherever you are. It’s an obvious attempt to eat Foursquare‘s lunch, and...Foursquare Helps Interactive TV Get More Real on NBC
Interactive TV, decades after we started talking about it, is finally starting to happen. There are signs all over the place, and maybe it doesn’t look the way we hoped it would (“You ARE the Next Contestant on The Price Is Right—right there in your...TOO Much Social Networking with Foursquare and AppAware
I’m being less social. My Twitter Community has spoken. As cool a thing as social networking is (or can be), every time you write something you risk rubbing the people who follow you the wrong way. You probably want to avoid the “I’m Eating...
Can Yelp Make Influency With ‘WordMaps’ that Find Hipsters?
When Google bought Zagat, Yelp found themselves with a big problem. With or without the issues surrounding the quality of Yelp’s reviews, when Google enters your business space, it’s time to get creative, or get dead. This week, Yelp unveiled a new tool...

By now you’re using a SmartPhone. Or not, you big hold-out, but everyone around you is clutching either an iPhone, a Blackberry, or an Android SmartPhone. The sales figures say that these devices are being adapted at unprecedented rates. Everybody has decided...An Actual Positive Side to Facebook: Peer Pressure!
Am I done with social networking yet? Almost. Next week I’ll be talking about BASEBALL for the first time ever (don’t worry; there’s a huge business change lesson in there), but for now . . . I have one more social networking point to make. And...3D Movies and Television as Business Change: Who Cares?
This weekend I had the great displeasure of seeing the latest installment of the Shrek movie series. That statement is in no way a movie review; unlike my opinions about Green Day’s American Idiot on Broadway I’m going to refrain from saying anything about...
