I use social media for both ministry and business. As far as ministry, it is a tremendous tool.
- Abad A. Perez
OUCH! That price is crazy! That's more expensive than Last.fm!
- Marcos Marado
from fftogo
It is, but then again you get access to about a million CDs, as and when you want to listen, as opposed to music Last.FM want to promote.
- David Sim
Huh... Paid accounts on Last.fm give you the ability to play what you want, don't they?
- Marcos Marado
from fftogo
Umm, I'm afraid not... It onlu gives you unlimited access to their personalized radios, not on-demand streaming...

Will you hire a media firm for social media campaigns that has 3 tweets so far?

I was joking about how everyone is getting on the Twitter bandwagon! Here's their profile: http://twitter.com/Comtech...
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
I can't comment about the quality of that particular company, but I feel the skillset for direct mail, website design, graphic/logo design is different to that required for a social media campaign.

David: Absolutely!

Who should lead social media in an organisation? http://4tm-services.com/2009...
Dimitar Vesselinov, Andrew and Hendrik Neumann liked this
I think the marketing dept. should lead social media. Although the sales manager will probably do a better job in terms of finding what works and what doesn't.
- Abad A. Perez
Practically social media can be used for more than marketing. If the key purpose is to get people to discuss the merits a new technology, for example, the social media engagement may be best placed with the head of research rather than marketing.
- David Sim
It doesn't really matter which department is in charge, IMHO. What matters is that the guys behind the keyboards know about communication and that they have to engage in real and "truthful" conversations.

An alternative view on the #fixreplies "crisis" http://businessontwitter.co.uk/twitter...
Dropping features people turn on by choice is senseless. Your comments, though helpful maybe, don't change that. #fixreplies

Is Linux ready for the "average" user? - http://digg.com/linux_u...
"It's a good example of how Linux will work well if it's pre-installed, as the driver issues are sorted out. Of course, not many people game or sync their iPhone with a netbook because of its own hardware limitations, so those weaknesses in Linux don't really come up."
- David Sim
Is Linux ready for the "average" user? - http://digg.com/linux_u...
"It's almost impossible to sync a 3G iPhone with Linux. That's a big weakness, given the take up rate of the iPhone. Dual booting doesn't really cut it - if you have to have Windows anyway, why bother? If you're using Vista, you can lock down the kids. Even on XP by using "dropmyrights" you can virtually eliminate any damage to the system that could be caused, even if they're still using IE."
- David Sim
Is Linux ready for the "average" user? - http://digg.com/linux_u...
"I use Linux (Ubuntu) on my netbook and on an aging laptop, and it works well. Tried installing it on my Dell and by default it only gave me 800x600 resolution. Cleverly it offered me the proprietary Nvidia drivers, only now it won't load X at all and gives me a blank screen. It's not a seamless experience yet."

Re: Facebook Responds to Criticism Over Latest Redesign - http://mashable.com/2009...

"Even better, put a test into your web page that checks to see if the DB is ok, and if not display a fail whale. That way, you don't need to take your site down unnecessarily, and it covers the eventuality of the DB failing.

Would an increase in participation in microblogging lead to reduction in blogging?
VC Freak, Kol Tregaskes, Arjun and 10 other people liked this
I think so, but I see some kind of marriage between the two.
- Mike Lewis
That's happening already, at least since the mass-adoption of Twitter. But I agree with Mike: people are blogging less "quick things", using microblogging for that, and blogging just "extensive thoughts"...
- Marcos Marado
I didn't see anyone quitting blogging just for twittering, but I saw a lot of ppl started tumbling instead of blogging... I guess it's the natural evolution of the concept... ps. Is Tumbling the same as microblogging? Or micro is just twitter, jaiku, pownce, plurk, etc?
- Alex Barredo
whether it be on paper or virtual there will always be various lengths to reading. From light magazines to heavy books, blogging and micro-blogging will/can co-exist...
- Anthony Farrior
Don't think so, microblogging's beauty is its 140 word cap. If u wanna share a really deep insight with well proven points to back it up, u gonna need more than that.
- mark
yes, i see people discussing this very topic often. microblogging IS blogging, and better than blogging as you often get an immediate response (plurk is brilliant for that instant gratification factor, why write a blog post about your day when you can say it and get responses from the world in a matter of minutes?
- Darren Daz Cox
I think blogging will elvolve to a more 'serious' or at least well thought out and crafted genre and 'haircut' blogs will end up as plurks or tweets etc
- Darren Daz Cox
...Perhaps w/ open source micro-blogs (like Identica). When hosting your own micro-blog (or co-hosting as a profitable service) 'picks-up' then standard blogs (and sites like blogger, livejournal) will (imo) have reduced exposure.
- Czar
I use microblogging to get an easily understandable idea into the open and get quick feedback, or to share things that might be useful to others. I use blogging if I want to argue a point and get more considered feedback. Of course increasingly there's audio and video blogging too...
- David Sim
I really don't see that happening in the circles I run in..........
- ChaCha Fance
seems that microblogging apps re-shaped the way we blog, not reduce the time we devote to blogging.
- Jansen Lu
I think it shoulder be a concern on format as it is the quality and value if what is being created - and if the madium is helping or hurting that.
- Tony
yes
- Wayne Sutton
Not sure if it does, at least not in my case. It's inspiring me with more ideas.
- Tamar Weinberg
Only if blogging isn't cool with you dating other people, then it might get messy unless you two talk it through in a public place - I would definitely pick up the check.
- Tony
Is the situation getting more serious now? compared with July 08.
- Jansen Lu
Not sure, they could certainly merge, for example I'm trying to integrate Twitter (as well as FF) into my blog, so I can continue using the likes of Twitter and FF but also get back into blogging.

I second lastpass.com. But also you would like the combo KeePass + Dropbox to get synchronized with all your machines.

AI Roboform is awesome. The reason why people don't use it is.... it is kinda expensive. But it's worth it.
- yezi
I used KeePass for a couple years and really like it, but if you're somewhere the application isn't installed, you're out of luck. I started using LastPass a couple months ago, and I really like it. It goes anywhere there's internet. The form filler it has works pretty nicely as well.

I use Keepass and i am quite much happy with it

I'm giving lastpass a try.

There is KeePass for Windows, KeePassX for Mac, KeepassX for Linux, KeepassJ2ME for mobiles... A lot of ground covered already. Dunno if thr's an iPhone or Android app..

Roboform only $30 http://www.roboform.com/php...

Yes. Roboform only $30, but more expensive than free (e.g. KeePass). That's what I mean "kinda expensive".

Passpack works best for me. Cross-platform and 1-Click login. There is no client-side software necessary.

I would use Roboform. I run the mobile version which runs off a USB key and it works great.

I have to agree with you. Friendfeed is too technical and only answers some of the problems of authentication, data sharing and aggregation. Facebook is ideally placed to be a social media hub, linking to specialist sites like Twitter. FriendFeed may continue to exist, but if won't be mainstream. Great post!
