Finally we are beginning to see the fruits of the huge boost in Twitter's funding, something that the Twitter team is no doubt relieved to see as well. Granted, saying that Twitter's failure numbers have been drastically reduced is similar to Ford saying that Focus SVT engine fires were becoming less frequent a few [...]

It seems like, for better or worse, we just can't quite come to a decision about FriendFeed, can we?  Perhaps we're resigned to an endless back and forth about the social aggregating platform.  But, as many of us know, any controversy converts to traffic, which is something FriendFeed can take solace in.
Getting to the point, [...]

Allen Stern has an excellent video up today on Center Networks that highlights one of the most frustrating foundation issues I have with Web 2.0 and social media: for whatever reason, we seem to want to have a monarchy wherever we go.
In the U.S., we have a de facto monarchy created out of the entertainment [...]

Tonight Profy will be playing host to a new podcast called Things You Can't Say About the Internet, with me, Steven Hodson of Mashable and WinExtra, and Duncan Riley of The Inquisitr.

That platform just received [...]

It is no surprise that once the blogosphere finds a fascination in something, more and more people will see this as an inspiration to create mashups based on our latest and greatest tools. And since FriendFeed is still one of the most discussed topics (especially on FriendFeed itself), it is no wonder that we will [...]

If you've been lingering around Profy for a while, you might recall that I recently covered the mobile social platform Fring along with others like Xumii.  You might also recall that Fring opened its API to developers interested in designing mobile social applications.  Just a few weeks since that announcement, developers have already [...]
