in PRstore Website Gets Grade of “B” from Hubspot on Media EmergingWebsite Grader is a great tool for one to muse about what we're doing wrong. But you've also hinted about the real change, right? The real change is that our stuff is flung all over the web now. And we're fishing where the fish are.
When does this change? What happens?
The web is changing and how we rate it and think about it is changing. What comes next?

in The Word of the Week is Plagiarism on Media EmergingIn my case, it just felt really silly. I release all of my stuff under Creative Commons license. Essentially, you can take my junk and repost it pretty much anywhere, provided you give me link credit. So, it felt like a silly scam, if the goal was just to remove my authorship.
But, if what he said was just so, swell. I'm glad it was fixed.

in My domain and site name are wrong on kilobox communiquéAll that to say, I'm launching a newer site sometime soon, which will be MUCH more participatory.
So maybe you did it right. : )

in Hyperconnectivity shakes up six degrees of separation on Broadcasting BrainI think there are shades of hyperconnectivity: Scoble is a great communicator on Friendfeed, but he's ALSO a super great information absorber/parser. I parse information, but only pass through a small set. Robert passes through volumes.
There's something here, but it merits more conversations and more shades of understanding. Thanks for starting the process.
Fair point: the term "hyperconnected" can have some nuances to it.

We've discovered the next step. They just don't know how to get rich off it yet.
I love your thoughts on my blog as well as on your own. Thanks for the kind words.

in Social Media: just another term for Multi-Level Marketing on WinExtra CommentsI think the points in general are good. I'm just not down for being called part of the "cumbaya and kissing" crowd, when my typical conversations off-blog are with Intel, IBM, Thomson Reuters, and the like. Defensive? Maybe. But also making the point that the tools and the movement are two different things. I'm subscribed to both at different levels.
Overall, I'm with you that the "let's all kiss and give everything away" mindset has to alter. But where/what/how? Maybe that's what you'll suss out here.
Here's something else to consider as well. As much as the warm and fuzzy crowd of Social Media might not want the stink of MLM attached to the movement the possibility is that MLM could be looked at as very much a fore runner of Social Media. After all from their point of view they are trying to do the same thing - move people and concepts forward through a group effort but their "product" is actually goods and money rather than the "attention" and "recognition" that Social Media like to use. But in the end it really all boils down to who is making the money and how they are making it.
Why do companies like Intel, IBM or Thomas Reuters want to understand how social media works? Because it can affect their profit margins and to think otherwise in my opinion is foolish and extremely short shighted.

in Social Media: just another term for Multi-Level Marketing on WinExtra Comments* website information
* YouTube- potential money model
* realtors and community
* podcasting as an information channel
* friendfeed (mostly a problem I was having)
* pointer to a report
* neat sales article that gave me a few ideas
* pointer to a presentation
* video about a book
* a flickr project
Wow, I seem so very interested in MLM and free stuff.
Please don't paint with Amanda Chapel colors, Stephen. I believe that social software are tools, and that they can enable enterprise, non-profit, personal, and other forms of communication and collaboration.
Twitter isn't the body of my work (thank the sweet little 8 3/4 pound baby Jesus).
Normally I don't get to fussy about the spelling of my name but its Steven not Stephen.
Secondly nowhere did I say anything that writing about MLM was a requirement just as the "products" of MLM are about the way that MLM is set up so please rather than assuming I mean something - which I don't - read *what* I wrote not what you think I wrote. Could I be totally off base with something that is nothing more than a written down stream of thoughts - you betcha I could be but at least be arguing the right points.
