DISQUS

Ok, thanks for the reply. See you at SXSW.

This is a great start, I've been coping and pasting tweets into blog post. I'm looking forward to adding this to my list of twitter blog tools. Also working on a post how to twitterize your blog and this will top it off.

Ok, so what's the plug-in or this tool called?

I'm @waynesutton on twitter and I follow @Scobleizer like everyone else. :)

Great post on Hammer, he has truly transformed himself over the years and is one the leaders in the music industry who understands the value in social media.

Also Hammer just released an iPhone app called HammerTime. Talk about being cutting edge, Hammer is ahead of the game.

Thanks for the link to our TalksocialNews.com podcast.

Wayne Sutton's last blog post..I have Crocs around my neck & why social media might sell you a pair. How to manage a national brand.

Brett, thanks for the interview and congrats on launching Social Media Rockstar.
I think we'll really see how social media changes customer relationships, branding and new media in 2009.

It was an honor to be interviewed by you and I'm looking forward to reading more on http://socialmediarockstar.com

@Markus good point, I would have thought it would have been free also, but I guess with the economy even Lil Wayne is trying to make some extra cash off of the iPhone.

Also with talk of a $99.00 4gb iPhone at Wal-mart soon, I'm sure his app will be downloaded "amilli " times. :)

Great post, I was going to do one like this but you beat me to it. :)

A few more social media monitor / listening tools I would suggest are:

http://www.notify.me/

Have you used any of these?

Wayne Sutton's last blog post..Presentation: Twitter used as a PR Tool via Social Media PR Class & SlideShare.net

It has been interesting to see the good & bad twitter talk about the #blck tag over the weekend. But so far I've found a few new twitter friends and some informative links via the #blck tag.

I just hope it's used for sharing information and to connect others with like minds & interest.

Thanks for the post.

Wayne

Chris I agree with most of your points about Brightkite and it will be interesting to see what happens to Brightkite once it comes out of private beta.

I had chance to talk with the founder / CTO Martin May of Brightkite for a podcast. He talked about the future of location based services and the what's next for Brightkite you can check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/5sp8dz

Great list, sad I didn't make it, looks like I'm going to have to work a little harder now to make the next one.

WOW, thanks for the link, I think it's the 1st time that @gwensutton (moms) and I are in the same post. You're rocking on Rejaw and identi.ca too!

<abbr>wayne Suttons last blog post..This site is in live beta</abbr>

Lol, great post, my mom is on twitter too as @gwensutton http://twitter.com/gwensutton , she's on plurk & youtube also.

Ok, so this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to print out some of the questions over on plurk and on in the comments and record a video replying back.

Whew!

Greg, I wouldn't say the post is negative but it's a question to get your feedback to see if you think Plurk is the MySpace of Micro-blogging. I’ll admit that the MySpace reference may have been a poor choice of words. At least I know how most people feel about MySpace now. :)

Yes I do plurk a lot; therefore you know I'm not coming from an outsider’s perspective on the plurk community and conversations but from someone who actually uses the site.

@SonnyGill so true Plurk, just like twitter, it's how you use it, what conversations you create and take part in.

I’ve been apart of some 60 plus in-depth responses on one plurk topic such as, online advertising, marketing, TV shows, and social media and I appreciate the feedback I get from the plurk community but with some of the general conversations is why some people tend not to use plurk at all.

Its interesting people are posting about what seems like a negative comparison and not the new features that Plurk announced and what direction you see Plurk moving towards in the future.

@Chris and others I'll post a longer explanation later, don't get me wrong as most plurk users know I'm a big fan of Plurk. The comparison of MySpace is really a judgement issue of how you feel about MySpace as the other social network compared to how you feel about facebook. And I'm asking a question is Plurk the MySpace of Micro-blogging, I didn't say it was.

On the backgrounds those two where one of the first two css backgrounds I saw, I didn't know about the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/plurkthemes/pool which has some nice custom backgrounds.

If you follow me on plurk, you know I'm one to post, good morning and good night all the time so I know and can validate on the conversations and the plurk community. The community is fun, personal and at times controversial. Many have said that plurk is better at managing conversations than twitter is.

Plurk has it's place on the micro-blogging community but it's different than twitter, identi.ca and pownce just like myspace is a different community than facebook.

Also in the last paragraph I did state for those of "us", it's interesting that most comments here, are about my dislike for "some" of the first backgrounds I've seen on plurk and not the face that we're happy to see plurk role out some cool new features, an API is coming soon, a desktop app is on the way and we're still looking at what audience/community is growing on Plurk.

You're thoughts on that?

This is great news...

This is great news and will also push developers to work on new twitter mashups, hoping to cash-in like summize.

Louis, thank you for the post and watching the live stream today. Due to some ustream.tv broadcast problems we had to pick another live streaming service and fast. I have used yahoo live in the past but I have never seen what I saw tonight. This entire week has been an eye opener for some in the realm of online racism. I just hope we all use what we have learned to do what right and be better humans.

I will say that after tonight, I'm now less likly to use yahoo live again and will work on setting up mogulus.com as a back up to ustream.tv until I can get an invite to episodic.com.

I think @Corvida and I may do more live video interviews in the future to discuss social media and topics in our culture. Keep an eye out on twitter for details.

Let's continue to grow and be better than we where the day before.

Thanks @waynesutton

Thanks for your time on the video, sorry about the spam.

Sorry Victor we had to move to yahoo live video,

Well, we're glad to have Greg in NC, take a look at the interview of Greg. http://www.localconvo.com/2008/07/07/noodad-the...

@Roxanne you're right, http://twitter.com/philcampbell is one of the pioneers.

Thanks Phil

Adam, thanks for the post and screenshot. Right now I just want twitter to work with out all the down time and seeing the "fail whale". But if twitter does add more features, HTML and css styled backgrounds would be nice.

Also the discussion of twitter users with thousands of followers monetizing their twitter profiles has been mentioned in the SEO community here in NC. The idea people like Scoble and others could sell ad space on the their backgrounds. Even though we could do it now with a custom background like the one featured.

But for now if you want your own social twitter background template you can download it here:
