Re: Meet Hashable, Which Wants to Make Money By Introducing You

Brian Norgard created a company (Namesake.com) which offers a social layer around recommendations/referrals/reputation etc. I've been using for a few weeks...very intuitive and seems to fill a niche beyond what LinkedIn does today. Kind of an eBay rating meets Twitter/LinkedIn.

Re: MySpace and Microsoft Team Up: What Does it Mean for Facebook and Google?

Each time I talk to the two companies (FB and Myspace) they rarely seem concerned wih the other and don't view each other as the *only* competition. I don't see this changes much...

Re: Why MySpace is Monetizing So Quickly: They’re Dying Fast

Alan Edgett — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:50:53 -0000

I think rumors of their death might be premature. They have more flexibility to monetize. They have a lock on the "entertainment" arena (music/movies etc) which is more conduscive to CPG advertising. They are an Opensocial shop, and can leverage their graph resources in far off places and through innovative partnerships. Facebook is a solid competitor, no doubt. But, this battle is still heating up, it is far from over...

Re: How Can Brands Really Succeed on Facebook?

Alan Edgett — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:35:15 -0000

Interesting post Nick. We do a lot of FB advertising right now, and have found a way to make that work. But I am curious, as other commenters, on your definition for "success" for branded applications. I work for FreeCreditReport.com, and our "application" (if we were to go that route) would more than likely focus on providing value to the user (not entertainment). But, more than likely, our services are needed/consumed once or twice per month...so "engagement" by traditional FB standards would be quite low--and yet, for us, it would be a success. Thoughts?
