GaryVee, tell me about the 10 book deal. Does that make you the Madonna, Rolling Stones, or George Michael of social media?

It makes me stupid....thats a lot of f-ing books!
- garyvee
It seems somewhat dissonant, you rose up online yet are capturing value / cashing in offline. Why old fashioned, printed books?

cause people read them PK!

Of course, a good skill to have.

Is there going to be a story arc to this series, like Lord of the Rings, or are you making them up as you go along?

But let's stay here, thinking about online vs. offline. How has your online activity driven offline sales in your core business?
- Peter Kim
[Assuming that your core business is still wine sales.]
- Peter Kim
My core business is my personal brand, which means I do good shiz and things happen and opportunities come my way!
- garyvee
but yes people buy wine from WL cause of my online presence but not as much as peeps think, because I dont focus on it at all!
- garyvee
Thank you. Moving on to new question...

"What if Starbucks was offering up a Starbucks API—a set of hooks into a vast, efficient coffee shop support system with incredible economies of scale? You, the local coffee shop owner, simply plug in, and wham, your costs drop by thirty percent because you’re leveraging Starbucks’ insanely optimized supply chain. You can use as much or as little as you want."

Increasing creativity and psychological distance - http://www.kottke.org/09...
Florian liked this
"This research has important practical implications. It suggests that there are several simple steps we can all take to increase creativity, such as traveling to faraway places (or even just thinking about such places), thinking about the distant future, communicating with people who are dissimilar to us, and considering unlikely alternatives to reality. Perhaps the modern environment, with its increased access to people, sights, music, and food from faraway places, helps us become more creative not only by exposing us to a variety of styles and ideas, but also by allowing us to think more abstractly."

New engagement report on 100 top brands shows correlation between social media engagement & financial performance. http://www.altimetergroup.com/2009...
Charlie Nichols Browning, Florian, Steve Rubel and Valeria Maltoni liked this
I like the idea, but shouldn't the correlation work in reverse to be meaningful? In other words, shouldn't Facebook, YouTube and other highly engaging social media properties significantly outperform their peers financialy? Or does it start with a non-social brand and look for engagement? If so, this seems like the traditional advertising 'sales lift' metric used to rationalize media spend.

"This is one way a world of intelligence augmentation emerges. Little by little, people who don’t know about drugs like modafinil or don’t want to use them will face stiffer competition from the people who do. From the perspective of a culture immersed in athletic doping wars, the use of such drugs may seem like cheating. From the perspective of those who find that they’re much more productive using this form of enhancement, it’s no more cheating than getting a faster computer or a better education."

"Some third party software developers have made good use of the FriendFeed API to create some great FriendFeed iPhone applications. Stay connected to FriendFeed even when you're away from your computer with one of these iPhone apps (at our office, BuddyFeed and Amigo have been really popular)"
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
Both paid apps - think I'll wait until after iPhone 3.0 drops before I try them.
- Mitch Wagner
BuddyFeed is solid, but sorely lacking a landscape browser option. And it's still a touch crashy.
- Roger Benningfield
I've been using Amigo, and like it alot. The developer also has more updates coming in the next version.
- Kevin Whalen
Gosh, I wish there were popular FriendFeed apps for the Sprint Instinct. -from the mobile wilderness.
- Admiral Anika
I think the browser would be perfect if you could lock the horizontal scrolling somehow.
- Frankie Warren
I wish there was a mention of the two alternative WebApp-proxy apps, which are fully usable on most smartphones, not solely the iPhone. One of them is f2p <http://dev.ctor.org/f2p/>, developed by Nakamura Hiroshi <http://friendfeed.com/nahi>; the other <http://fftogo.com/login/> by FFeeder Benjamin Golub.

I have been liking Nambu, still in beta and free http://itunes.apple.com/WebObje...
- Drew S
I broke down and bought BuddyFeed about a week ago. It has helped me use FriendFeed more but there are features it's lacking (specifically Twitter sharing integration). solid app overall though.
- Michael Koby
from BuddyFeed
I use Nambu on my iPhone and for Twitter on my Mac and like them both. The Mac version is currently without FriendFeed and Facebook, but both are promised 'soon', like end of June/July when it comes out of beta.
- Ken Gidley
BuddyFeed and amigo aren't bad, but they both need serious work on their respective UIs (particularly as it relates to liking and commenting, both of which require about 2 too many taps). I'm excited to see what happens with these in the future. And now I'm actually thinking about building one myself. We'll see.

- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
These apps all seem to lack some obvious basics, like being able to email a FF item. I own BuddyFeed (and a couple others) and generally like it, but I still bounce to the web app sometimes.
- David Chartier
Use Nambu (FREE), or Safari :)
- Alp
Great thread - thanks for the pointers everyone.
- Mitch Wagner
Is there anything interesting out there for BlackBerry?
- Pablo Melchor
Using Nambu myself-primarily to post to FF and Ping.fm--really great picture integration which the FF/iphone page lacks. It can still hang up a bit--but no complaints since it's free.
- Kelly W.
Pablo - try http://fftogo.com
- Susan Beebe
Thanks, Susan: I tried fftogo.com and it does the trick, buy it is a pity that it has not added the improvements in friendfeed's appearance (e.g. fftogo still displays service icons -twitter, facebook- beside each entry instead of people's pictures)
- Pablo Melchor
All of them offer less functionality than the website, which is perfect. Therefore, all of them suck.
- Zio Bonino
I hope a good client is developed for Palm Pre soon (which, on WebOS should reach full website functionality). fftogo works, but I prefer the full web interface.
- jcunwired
The website is far from perfect. Posting picture is less than ideal.
- Kelly W.
BuddyFeed is my favorite one out of that batch. However, it crashes way too much
- Susan Beebe
With respect, the API has several big missing pieces, for example DM, IM, and Email. That's why those features aren't in these apps.

If you cannot decide which client to use, ask Hunch: http://www.hunch.com/friendf...

I second the call for an Android app.

1) Integrate Search into the PR: Our work must be crafted for optimized search but also for reputational search and social search (since Google increasingly ranks social content from Flickr, blogs, Twitter etc.). We can prioritize media and blogger outreach on the basis of which reporter/person/outlets helps most in search. We can create “embassies” for clients within social networks...

wow, that speech is really good. Edelman really gets it. Nice to see this kind of understanding about PR coming from the top (CEO Edelman) at one of the top PR firms. It also makes sense why Edelman probably more than any other PR firms pays attention to bloggers. Bloggers have huge Google juice and rank very highly generally speaking in search.

Probably inevitaable, but count me with the large group that will be deeply saddened if we can't find a business model to support real (often expensive) journalism. No offense to all the great bloggers, indy media, and so forth, but getting people on the ground all over the world covering the news ain't cheap.
- Joel Webber
The NYT is more behind the times than you think. They missed "new technology" ages ago, with the invention of television...and radio. They chose to stay exclusively in print way too long. Had they advanced with technology, they would be much greater than what CNN is today.
- April Russo (app103)
The best journalists from the NYT would survive and flourish elsewhere; what needs to be dismantled is the entitled gang of editorialists and opinion-makers. The silencing of their collective voice would be a real force for change.
- Denise Young
@Denise: I hope you're right that the best journalists would find ways to continue good journalism (and find the support they need to do it). And a hearty +1 about the editorialists, both liberal and conservative.
- Joel Webber
The problem is that most news journalists died a long time ago. Many Journalists have become columnists and opinion writers. From the front page of NYT to the nightly news, almost every news story has a heavily opinionated slant that detracts from the actual facts of the story.
