SUMMARY: Imagine FriendFeed meets Techmeme. On socialmedian, users set up News Networks (ostensibly mini Techmemes) based on any topic(s) they are interested in and populated with content from the news sources they specify. It’s all fully user-customizable. What interests me most about socialmedian is the filtering. Now, i can follow just the aspects of the person I find interesting. Emerging memes, trends, news I want. Your views on Italian politics, I'm less interested in. - Christian Anderson
SUMMARY: "We’re excited to announce that Twitter has acquired Summize—an extraordinary search tool and an amazing group of engineers. All five Summize engineers will move to San Francisco, CA and take jobs at Twitter, Inc. This is an important step forward in the evolution of Twitter as a service and as a company." twitter blog - Christian Anderson
More specifically, when newspapers and magazines realize they are in the content business, radio realizes they’re in the audio business and TV realizes they’re in the video business; the acquisitions we’re seeing today will be small potatoes. - Christian Anderson
Want to know what will happen in social media before newspapers or even blogs can report it? Be on Twitter, FriendFeed. - Christian Anderson
I believe that I was first to tweet about this. http://twitter.com/socialmedia.... Only reason i got it first was because i was in India and it came across my socialmedian feeds the instant kara wrote her blog post about it. amazingly, kara didn't tweet it until 3 hours later. - Jason Goldberg
Interesting that Kara would wait three hours to Twitter a post. With the post live, why not tweet? - Christian Anderson
