Re: The New Ways to Say I Hate You

A newer development is the introduction of the service Qwitter where you get a message when someone unfollows you on Twitter. I must admit, it gives you pause when unfollowing someone in fear that they will know. It will be interesting to see how people will deal with rejection. Like this one for instance: http://twitter.com/juliaroy/statuses/993791707

Re: Three Ways to Build Community or A Community is Not A Field of Dreams

One thing people should not forget is the willingness to play nice with others. The bottom line is people dont want another Twitter. They don't want another Facebook. But if you can create something that integrates into them, you are much better off.

Imagine a Blip.fm without the Twitter integration? Of a Brightkite or a Seesmic or 12 Seconds? You may develop a small group of early adopters but it would nevere expand and would eventually die.

Love this article and it brings up a lot of questions regarding social media, social networking, and how it is relevant to the post -30 crowd.

One of the issues with places like Facebook is the wide range of reasons people join them. Some may only be there for the games, or for the pics, or for the "lil green patch". But no one really knows that as they see pages of "Friends You May Know".

Sites like LinkedIn do take steps to have people self-select the type of interaction they are interested in. Facebook, not so much.

One question I have is as people find new ways to say, "I hate you", is that bad? De-friending someone is the best way to tell people I hate you IMHO. It is direct. It doesn't string people along while sending a definite message and avoiding being face to face or voice to voice.

Great interview. Mashable has quickly become a must-read and I love the site redesign.

My only concern would be this scenario:
You have a romantic dinner planned for your wife and you set your Surface walls to look like the beach in Bermuda where you had your honeymoon. The dinner is going great and you lean in to kiss her and bam! You see this.

"Thats just life if an adult stole a car they would go to jail." They go to jail but they don't have the warden hit them. That would be illegal.

Re: Microsoft Seinfeld Ads Were Pure Genius

The only thing genius about the way this was handled was how swiftly they pulled the Seinfeld ads.

From a branding perspective, this is a disaster. I know! Let's reveal to the whole world how much the Mac ads bother us by hitting head on that they stereotyped us!

The Apple ads ran their course years ago. But Apple is the big winner here. Now they know MSFT was pissed. And now all the watchers of the MSFT ads know that too.

Re: Will Corporate Presence on Social Networks Ruin Customer Evangelism?

Well, true. My agency does work for Chili's but I do not work on that account. Plus, I am leaving my agency at the end of the month. Regardless, the video was not to advertise for my agency's client. It was just to tell other people about a good burger I had.

Sameer, excellent point. A code of ethics may work but my concern would be if everyone adheres to the same codes, will we be seeing the same types of marketing messages with restrictions in place?
