in Angry Blogger Says Blogs Are Dead on Social Times
It all depends on your goal... I would agree that becoming the next Scoble is not going to happen. However, if you are looking to communicate with other folks around the world on a niche topic of mutual interest and passion --- by all means.

Overall, one size doesn't fit all. Some may blog or utilize other digital tools. Bottom Line - in most instances, participating in some kind of social media is better than sitting on the sidelines.

in Can Anybody Compete With Facebook & MySpace on Mobile? on Social Times
Excellent post Nick...

I share your view that Facebook and MySpace are the market leaders here and will be tough to beat. On a related note, the Blackberry application for Facebook has already been downloaded over 2 million times in a year. As we see more corporate folks with Blackberrys embrace social communications, Facebook's lead will continue to grow.

Jerry,

I think you'll find twitter to be quite useful in a number of ways. On that note, it is the best - in terms of subs - mobile social networking platform right now.

Jake,

Just found you blog via Twitter (i'm @mobilediner).

In any case, I enjoyed the column and look forward to participating more on future posts.

Best, Chris

in Wireless Whining on The Technology Liberation Front
Carriers have an ETF to get some ROI on the consumer (cost per gross add) and the carrier subsidizes the cost of the handset. With the iPhone, its hard to argue that at $600 a pop with a substantial service plan (you are going to want the full functionality of the device) and you can't take the phone to another carrier -- that the ETF is necessary... On that note, you will see the biz model evolve over time. If folks are willing to pay over $500 on a phone - no longer a need for the ETF (VZ already prorates).
