Today comScore released a press release detailing its statistics on online display advertising in June - both largest publishers and largest advertisers. The data is quite predictable and I believe many of us (I mean, those that choose not to enable any ad blockers in their browsers): Microsoft is the largest advertiser followed by University of Phoenix (advertising its online aducation programs), Experian Interactive (advertising its sites LowerMyBills and FreeCreditReport), United Online (owner of Classmates which pushes ads to web [...] |

Barack Obama Uses the Power of Social Media Noticed by Mainstream Media
08/25/2008, 4 days 19 hours ago
|
There’s an interesting article on Business Week today written by CEO of online reputation management company Rapleaf detailing the history of presidential candidates using various cutting-edge technologies of their respective ages to target voters better - from radio to television and cable ad networks. Now that we live in the 2.0 world there’s definitely tons of new tools to use to reach electorate in a more intimate and human manner - and these tools are heavily used by Barack Obama. |
Further Changes on Facebook: Not Only the Circled Number of Messages in the Inbox
08/13/2008, 2 weeks 2 days ago
|
This morning when I logged in to Facebook I realized that I saw something new - and that very little something was a circled number of new messages in my inbox. It was kind of obvious that it was unlikely for Facebook to update the design without adding any new features but this small one so I started to look for additional information (as I don’t believe in my own eyes when it comes to finding new features without someone [...] |
Weighing Business Against Friendship: Exactly Why Is Facebook Valuated That Much Higher Than LinkedIn?
08/04/2008, 3 weeks 4 days ago
|
Eric Eldon over at VentureBeat has two interesting posts today about both Facebook and LinkedIn allowing their employees to sell up to 20% of their stock options in each of the respective company. Eric has a great and insightful analysis of both companies and how these decisions could work out but to me the most interesting part in both stories is that if Eric's sources are correct, Facebook's internal valuation is now at $4 billion while that [...] |
International Social Networks are Unwanted Invaders in Russia, Too
08/03/2008, 3 weeks 5 days ago
|
Since I am not in the US, it is always fascinating to see some international news going big among US journalists and readers - so today's article in the New Your Times titled "An Innocent Abroad" was a great refreshment to me. The article has a lot of valid points about how the internet Anglosphere views the rest of the internet - I mean those of us that are wired but don't have English as their native [...] |
AOL in the Lifestreaming Game with buddyupdates. Who Will Be The Next?
07/31/2008, 4 weeks 1 day ago
|
I have bumped into a post by Mark Krynsky today titled "AOL launches buddyupdates Lifestreaming Service and Nobody Notices". Since I am far from a heavy AIM user myself (I only have 2 contacts and one of them actually forced me to get another IM protocol when I clearly felt I did not need one), I had not been aware of the buddyupdates existence neither so it was interesting to check it out, especially because it was [...] |
Facebook News Feed Filters – Excellent With One Exception
07/31/2008, 4 weeks 1 day ago
|
It is definitely great new that today Facebook is rolling out the filters for the News Feed to improve our experience with the feature of the social network. True, I actually expected more improvements right when the redesigned profiles were launched and I still think one huge thing is missing but the filters already make it better. |
Social Median In Public Beta

Social Median has been opened up to a public beta now. Early adopter type that I am, I of course had to run right over and check it out. I’m still playing with it, but I have a few initial impressions about the overall service so far. |
Facebook, Scrabble and Scrabulous — Why all the Hulabaloo?
07/29/2008, 1 month ago
|
There couldn't be a better time for the intertubes to erupt in controversy over social games than the day after I post on the merits of real casual gaming in social media versus the self-proclaimed phenomenon of casual gaming, Nintendo's Wii. I'm not sure what feeds you readers might check throughout the day, but a large group of my own feeds have been focused on the sensational Facebook game Scrabulous being shut down in the U.S. and [...] |
Hasbro Wants To Wipe The Board Of FaceBook Favorite Scrabulous
07/24/2008, 1 month ago
|
I have to start with a confession: I am a die-hard Scrabble lover in real life, but a Scrabulous-only player online. Hasbro introduced a Scrabble FaceBook application after Scrabulous spent vast amounts of time wiping the floor with them by having theirs up first. Frankly, Hasbro, your application is too little, too late and not as much fun to play. |
