I’m in the market for a new phone. I’m finally off my 2 year contract with Sprint and now I can finally shop around for a new phone and/or network. I search Google and Twitter for the latest and greatest on information about the best phones. I don’t want to be locked into anything when I choose my next phone. But these are facts I must deal with when making my ultimate decision. I like this video it makes me think of the Palm Pre….

Following is a thread from FriendFeed tonight. I reieved a +1 thanks @.LAG for my comment that “Facebook is the AOL of our time”.

FriendFeed Thread:

It’s been a busy couple of days but it’s good because I’m giving clients the “hook” for their fishing poles. I have so many thoughts about what is happening in social media:
1. Facebook is the AOL of our time - I don’t want a service to feed me applications and services.

Cee Bee and edythe liked this

2. Friendfeed is the “stream” in Facebook but in real-time. I’ve seen the FB “stream” updates and heard about the hompage being updated with real-time “stream” data, but Brightkite did/does the real-time updates best on their homepage http://www.brightkite.com

3. When is the consolidation going to happen? I’m grateful that I’ve found my easy button, I don’t see consolidation for many months/dog years to come.

4. There is much to be discussed regarding social media ROI and engagement using twitter. I have a client that used twitter 5 times and within a week had 1200 request for samples. Yes everyone wants free stuff, but the viral aspect of coupon moms and savings is huge right now. Note majority of the 1200 were bots!

Bottom-line I don’t want my internet freedoms taken away from me! The internet is not traditional media and it’s best kept this way. I’m excited to participate and not lurk in the social media industry.

+1 for “…Facebook is the AOL of our time.” i agree, though i do feel FB is more instructive than AOL: they may end up being a giant R&D lab for the future. as long as your data stays locked inside FB, the AOL analogy holds. - @.LAG

@.lag I don’t think R&D labs fit the future. The R&D life-cycle is too short from a technology application perspective. I wish I could say the same about cancer cure life-cycle. Now the average “Joe” does R&D. I wish so much I had time to study APIs and code more. More and more I see coding as an embed cut and past. I don’t like hashtags why can’t we have a button.

I want someone to write a book title “Don’t Make Me Read”

In the last year I’ve been mesmerized by social media and Web 2.0. In 2008 my Myspace died and my Facebook took off. It’s only because my favorite musician; Jeff Hinkin Band is on Myspace that I continue to login because Jeff prefers communication through Myspace instead of email. With the launch of video on Myspace it’s apparent their niche is music, videos and music videos.

Back on September 5th 2008 Clive Thompson wrote the most amazing article on social media titled Brave New World of Digital Intimacy in the New York Times. And within this article you learned the history of social media and why Facebook has spawned to so many other social media services. First off you have to read this 8 page social media analysis to understand why social media is exploding.

Within this analysis you learn why Facebook facilitates the programming minds to create more robust services that are similar to Facebook but not Facebook. And while I see this is happening, how will all these social media services interact. In Facebook I can add apps and import services and they all overlap. I want the easy button in social media! While I’ve found my easy button with Brightkite and posting photos ending in postings to Facebook, I DON’T WANT TO SPAM MYSELF!!!!

As a social media user I’ve learned that you have to stay up on the technology. The technology is moving so fast that within weeks the technology has changed. I’ve been working on bringing the baby boomers up to speed. I created a Mobile Twitter User Guide that helps with refreshing your browser. If you are a new user of Twitter user this guide!

Social media is not difficult when you have and easy button after the set-up. For now it seems that I’m an easy button, but soon I hope to see the programmers shake hands and give the public the easy button!

If you need help give me a call 619-587-8882.

Well it’s for real! If you upload music to Blip.fm you have the ability to publish all music that is mixed, spun, or remixed!!! WOWAH This song is the best!! If you like DJ C (Ft. Chris Isaak, The Supremes, Switch, & Stereotyp) – Set Me Free From This Wicked Game You will love this one!!!

I can embed music from blip.fm without me being the owner or uploader….Interesting! I love this song, it gets me through late nights of working! Enjoy

I remember when the Jeff Hinkin Band donated their time to one of the fundraisers I did for Leukemia Lymphoma Society. He did it again!!!

Jeff Hinkin is one of my great friends who has the gift of music. He plays all instruments and his voice! OhMy just listen.

Blip.fm just updated their website to allow for embeds. Let’s test this out.

I’ve recently been helping clients get hooked up to twitter and as easy as the user guides are for many of the savvy internet users, it’s not so easy for everyone else. There are many people that don’t use the refresh button on browsers and my guide helps with this oversight. I wrote this guide for a client tonight and it points them to refresh buttons when the browser doesn’t refresh on it’s own. I deleted my twitter mobile configuration tonight and then took screen shots and placed hints in places to help the user know when to refresh if the twitter application didn’t do this for them automatically. Configure Your Mobile For Twitter.
