in BluePulse shows how you compete with Facebook and MySpace… on Scobleizer
I don't see this working for very long. Anyone with a smart phone can do most of the functions they offer. And with Facebook streaming to phones now you can literally do everything BluePulse offers (without being on mobile web).

in Facebook traffic down? on Scobleizer
There is a lot of competition in the social network space. Especially in the recent years, which may have limited the growth of Facebook.

This also only shows unique visitors, which isn't clearly defined in the article (despite that it may be common knowledge, they could be using it differently). In consideration, Facebook may have become too complex for new members to join, who would rather go back to simple ol' Myspace.

The article states that this drop was before the "back to school" season. There was as similar drop back in Jan-Feb. Also before the season. Hmmm, is it possible that Facebook traffic has cycles? In addition to that argument Myspace is a different company with a different brand in the same space, which may not have cycles at all.

in Think Different Apple on Scobleizer
I just feel bad for all those folks who didn't hack their phones and had the update mess it up anyway :(

It will work out. I think both sides should also remember there is a lot of pressure from at&t on Apple.

in Utterz: like Twitter but with audio/video on Scobleizer
Interesting... pile the media on! Can't say I'd want to join though. The first few things I saw were people posting embarrassing pictures and a lady who posted a risqué video. Too "myspacey"

in A New Face for PodCamp AZ on I Bought a Mac
Great work! I don't do a lot of design work myself, but I know good stuff when I see it. You've definitely created a reader-friendly face for the information.

Someone will always disagree or think they can do better, but all in all its your experience that matters.
