Yes, "very hard but not impossible" I think is a great way to frame making a

Re: Can you make money just by sending links around?

Eric Berlin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:09:11 -0000

That's pretty good money for adsense, I'd think! Have you tried other
advertising partners?

It's a free feature! Just click share or share + note under any story
in each RSS feed that you're tracking.

Congratulations Mathew! I'm sure making the jump was a difficult but exciting decision. I wrote for Web Worker Daily while "between careers" in the spring, had a great experience, and was really impressed and humbled by the talent there and throughout the GigaOM network.

Re: RSS: What’s the Deal in 2010?

Eric Berlin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:27:58 -0000

I actually love that G Reader is content consumption/sharing "first," with people added in as an organic part of the RSS reader experience. I'm not forced to manage friend requests and friend lists in anything like the same way as Twitter or Facebook.

You bring up an interesting point about advertising, but I'd be amazed if Google Reader's social features, as part of Google's overall social networking/media strategy, were not an important part of their plans going forward. Gmail, iGoogle, Google Reader, Google Friend Connect, etc. have tremendous potential synergy together and already have huge member numbers, obviously, in their own respective rights.

Re: FriendFeed’s Just Fine

Jesse, as Louis alludes to, sounds like you're pointing to international activity as a marker that FF may be taking a Friendster/Orkut like route longterm. In my view that still gives FF the opportunity to be a longterm winner, though I must agree with Louis that it would give U.S. users/power users a lot more confidence if we could see Facebook talking it up. Or talking about it at all.

Re: Challenge to Rackspace: enable 15-min $100 Twitter businesses

I love this... but why stop at just Twitter? I would love to see this kind of service work across news, blog, and real time social media data.

Sorry it's not working Robert, but this isn't Amazon.com customer

Carving out time for real life interaction is always a good resolution !

Argh, I need to learn the rules for next time! Feel like I unilaterally moved ahead of the Iowa caucuses or something :-)

Re: Facebook Connect Bores Deeper Into MySpace, Web

Eric Berlin — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:28:59 -0000

You bring up a lot of good points. I think Facebook took the idea of personalization and customization through privacy and groups controls, and particularly apps and the way that people can connect and interact using them.

Very well said Mahendra! As far as speaking "behind one's back," I think that is true at times *but* the fundamental issue is that the original publisher is often not alerted which more often than not means *positive* feedback and positive conversations are kicked off without the publisher even being aware !

Yes, I've played that race-against-the wire game with On Demand as well, actually worked out very well while I was sick last month. Caught up on shows like Nurse Betty and Weeds.

buzzbox looks interesting, will check it out, thanks !

Well, I'm certainly resolving, let's hope I can keep it up! :-)

Any mention of the monetization side of things at LeWeb, Louis ?
