Tuesday, September 27 Paul Colligan

Have you heard of Klout.com? Concept is simple – everybody get’s a Klout “score” that reflects how much clout (don’t get me started on the those wacky 2.0 names) someone has in the social space. Those numbers can be used to figure out which people you want to pay more attention to. Klout is tied…Read More »

Monday, July 11 Paul Colligan

When Don Crowther launched Social Profit Formula last year, I was a tricky little guy and snagged the Social Profit Formula channel at YouTube.

Using Twitter To Look Important?

Wednesday, May 4 Paul Colligan

So, as per a post at Facebook, I’ve done the “Twitter bankruptcy” thing. Was planning on a blog post re my reasons after I learned some of the implications. Round 1 comes a bit early (and I explain why): I originally set my Twitter account to follow anyone who followed me. Reason why (we’ll discuss…Read More »

Among other things, you can go email to instant message and back again. The platform finally means nothing as it all comes into their universal inbox. But it’s a little bigger than…Read More »

Picking On Social Media – Buzz Kill – Scoblizers – Linchpins – Etc.

Monday, August 23 Paul Colligan

It’s been a fascinating weekend for me and Social Media. Leo Laporte announced “Social media, I gave you the best years of my life, but never again.” The Joy Of Tech quickly responded with what might be my favorite comic ever from them.

Google Buzz – The Buzz And The Smart Response

Monday, February 15 Paul Colligan

Last week Google launched “Google Buzz.” It’s “their” take a social media, microblogging, etc. Let’s face it, they had to do something about Facebook and Twitter and this is their attempt accordingly. The long and short of it is that your postings (buzzes?) get sent to your followers and attached to your Google Profile. Here’s…Read More »

Monday, January 11 Paul Colligan

Of all the news that came out around and at CES, the one that gets the award for “most important” (in my space at least), was the acquisition of Ping.fm by Seesmic. I’ve been a huge fan of Ping.fm since day one and their purchase means they’re going to survive in this space. Awesome. For…Read More »
