LDS (Mormon) Church Facebook Page Surpasses 300,000 Likes on Facebook
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is no stranger to technology. With several of the web’s most traffic’d websites, a very popular Youtube Channel (MormonMessages), one of the top Facebook Pages, and a great host of mobile applications enabling members to read scriptures and listen to talks from leaders wherever they are, there’s […]
Read more...Who are the Mormons?
For those of you unaware, I am Mormon. I try not to preach the religion topic too much on this site unless it has to do with Technology, but I did realize there wasn’t much on this blog talking about who I am and what I believe in. I’m hoping to correct that and while […]

Several months ago I talked about a concept I call the Building Block Web. It’s the next evolution of platforms, with all different types of services able to communicate with each other and work together. Where Web 2.0 is “the Web as a platform”, the Building Block Web is “the Platform as the Platform.” I […]

The web is a competitive landscape. It’s an environment with lots and lots of type-A personalities all competing to be the dominant players. It’s full of opinionated people, entrepreneurs, and bloggers, who all have their opinion on a subject. Everyone wants to be right. That’s why, when you see a landscape, such as mobile, where […]

I’ve been meaning to share this for awhile. This is something the “Mormon Messages” Youtube channel for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints produced recently. Stephanie Nielson is a popular local Utah blogger who, if you want someone who truly understands life, you should follow. You can follow her blog at the NieNie […]

For those that don’t follow my Twitter or Facebook or FriendFeed streams, a few weeks ago I bought an iPad. I was sitting down at the Pool in Hawaii next to Chris Pirillo (we were both speaking at a conference – tough life, huh?), and he pulled out his iPad and immediately started working right […]
Read more...My Favorite Things: Spotify, the Social Music Streaming Service
I’ve been thinking about a new series for awhile. The idea is I get to share my favorite applications, gadgets, and services that I use on a regular basis. Each one I am either already paying for or I would have paid for in a minute if they had not already sent me a free […]
Read more...Want Your Business in a Dummies Book?
I’m looking for concrete examples of businesses, large and small, that have seen firm success by integrating Facebook either as an application, a Page, or on their own website via Facebook Connect or Facebook Graph API. If you have analytics and statistics to back up your claim, I’d like to get quotes from you on […]
Read more...Yes, Facebook Broke Your Trust, and Yes, That’s a Good Thing
It seems like every other post I read these days is about whether Facebook violated users trust, or whether they were wrong, or right in opening up more. It’s eerily repetitive for someone that’s written 2 (and 3rd on the way) books on the subject and who’s been following Facebook pretty intimately for the past […]
Read more...Facebook and the New SEO
With the advent of Facebook’s new Open Graph Protocol announced at their developers conference last week, there has been no shortage of criticism as to what’s private, what’s open, and if this makes Facebook even more open and more closed. While I’ve certainly made my opinion known, there is really little that needs to be […]
