I love it! - FaceySpacey

Facebook is a wonderful example of the network effect, in which the value of a network to a user is exponentially proportional to the number of other users that network has. - FaceySpacey

This post by Shel Israel and this post by Steve Rubel bear reading and examining. There's something afoot, and it deals with several pieces of economic pie shifting at the same time. In fact, it's a little strange that Richard Florida's latest book, Who's Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life, is so timely. For a little more trend connection, throw in a little bit of Seth Godin from May (this has stuck with me since then). - FaceySpacey

While new user growth may be stalled, while retention rates may be dropping or flat, and while the `golden age' of Nike and CSI and BMW may be over for Second Life - it still ranks as the third fastest growing Web-based site according to tracking powerhouse Nielson, at least in the UK, behind only youTube and Facebook in total user minutes. - FaceySpacey

Are you in online marketing? Here is a quick overview of some of the major Web 2.0 sites. The Web 2.0 is a decentralized user-driven trend rather than a new technology in which user demand is helping guide new web companies into the use of technologies that enhance user experience and extend the way we access information and contact other people. This is a very complex way of saying the truth: that in Web 2.0, the users have taken over the technology. - FaceySpacey

When you turn on your modem or connect to a Wi-Fi access, you are already online which allows access to the Internet. I previously wrote a post about this at 10 Young People Who Changed the Internet. However, I have to admit that I made lots of mistakes in that post, and this post is to make up for it. So, here goes: - FaceySpacey

White-label is a term used to refer to a product that is re-branded multiple times and licensed out. The old-industry motto was "I want to own everything". Nowadays, people have learned to share and for the better. When it comes down to coding a social network you hit quite a few obstacles: - FaceySpacey

LinkedIn, a Web site that professionals use to make contacts and trade tips, created quite a stir this week. It announced that it raised $53 million in funding, primarily from Bain Capital Ventures, implicitly valuing the four-year-old company at an impressive $1 billion. It was only the latest evidence that social networks for the more-serious set -- think Facebook, as opposed to a more youth-oriented MySpace -- have come into vogue with investors. - FaceySpacey

Online social networks, like the World Wide Web itself, are a microcosm of a vibrant human community. If you participate on services like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace for some time, you'll notice the same types of people as you might on a trip to the shopping mall or a weekend at the beach. - FaceySpacey

While we definitely found the story of a student in Egypt using Twitter to alert people that he had been arrested interesting, it does seem like a bit of a stretch to then say that it makes sense to create an emergency alert system via Twitter. Though it has some potential to be powerful, an emergency alert system needs to be reliable -- and Twitter is rather infamous for its pretty regular downtime. - FaceySpacey

BIG shout out goes to Nanu for discovering this one... it seems the new standalone BlackBerry MediaSync application is unofficially available on RIM's servers for download.
