Google’s Walled Garden
Among the things Robert Scoble is good at he is definitely good at getting us bloggers talking. Today he shared on Posterous (which I am subscribed and read in Google Reader) his reasons for not using Google Reader any more. Robert was the one that got me into Google Reader in the first place, so […]
Read more...It’s About Technology That Creates Community
I’ve been rambling on Twitter, FriendFeed and Facebook tonight about the differences in how Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed’s founders participate in each community. Look at Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Fan Page. Notice how he basically talks at the community? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a comment by him with his followers (perhaps part of the […]
