Re: Social Search For Business: Where Should It Go? - http://www.jasoncronkhite.com/tips-to...
"Andre, Very cool. Obviously I agree with you. If I can help during the private beta let me know. You guys have a great story and I think you're closer than you've ever been with the 3rd iteration - persistence is the key :-) ... You guys need a demo video to show and explain what you're doing. I'd love to experiment and provide you some feedback for what its worth. You should watch this video and let me know what you think: http://mixergy.com/so-what... . Jason"

Cool I agree on that @jasonfried In Twitter's case, though, I don't think the valuation is ridiculous at all.
It's about $40 per user.

Twitter will end up making money but valuations in general are pretty crazy. I don't see how or why a companies having one product, a Twitter client, would valued in the millions. Not to mention they are giving it away for free.

"Robert James Taylor, that's a fantastic overview and great insight. Looking forward to you answer =) . I personally would like to see Social Search display social graphs and provide influence metrics per genre or niche categories that people are involved in. This could be extremely helpful in many ways. For instance, say your child has a rare form of brain cancer and you want to seek out cancer specialists but you're limited to the off-line human referral network whereas 5 other people across the world are dealing with the same issue and Dr. John Smith in Chicago happens to be "The Man" to go to for this rare form of cancer. Dr. Smith regularly publishes information on his own site, has been reviewed by various medical institutions and has about 15 other patients he's helped and they have attributed Dr. Smith work to be exemplary. You are able to find this person through an advance social search engine. Now, this begs the question: what set's social search apart from search we are..."

The Wall Has Fallen: 3 Augmented Reality Apps Now Live in iPhone App Store http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Marshall, How long do you think it's going to take before retailers and business in the US get on board with POI and AR. I remember talking about wireless mobile commerce 6 years ago when many European and Asian countries were using mobile commerce technology in a more static sms basis. AR really enhances the user experience and the marketing capabilities for companies but, actually being able to use this as a consumer I would hope is not far off but it sure feels like it is. Thoughts???

Be sure to add them to your auto-dmers list in SocialToo and more than just you will unfollow them. :-) (It's under the Unfollowing preferences on the left nav of your Preferences tab)

I'm not sure if I agree guys. If an auto-DM has key information or questions or contact info from the person one has just followed (vs. a cheezy welcome or sales-pitch), what is wrong with that?
- Leif Hansen
Leif: In most cases, that's not true. The auto DM is just "Thanks for following me! :)" Which is both annoying and pointless.
- Kevin Pedraja
I agree, but the headliner tweet "if I follow you and get an autoDM as a result, I will unfollow immediately" is pretty black & white. Thus my point that an auto-tweet that adds value by expanding on who has just been followed, what's important to them, etc. can actually be a a good use of auto-DM technology.
- Leif Hansen
I hate DMs as an idea. You can't keep track of them, you have to mutually follow, etc.
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Leif, if I want that information I'll go to your home page to get it. Don't spam me with it, even if it may be useful. The only way it's appropriate is if I know I'm going to get it before I follow you (as in what @optmeout for TweetLater is doing).
- Jesse Stay
Hold on here, @Scoble and @Jesse I learned about auto DM from you guys a while back and decided to use auto DM as a way to say thanks for following those who followed me.

- Uniquely Cool
Joe, as for me, we only promoted it when no one else was doing it. I admit I was wrong in that case - it looked like a good tool at the time, but got WAY out of hand as everyone else started to use it. We killed it, and lost quite a lot of traffic because of that.

- Zachary Collins
I understand how it can be annoying for heavy users, even if intended as a polite gesture by regular people. So, I generally let the follow-back do the 'talking'. I think you're making too much of this though. Unless there's actual spam or marketing in the auto-DM, why unfollow someone you originally found interesting enough to follow?

- Asgeir
When you 'subscribe' to someone's blog or newsletter, there is often a welcome message with important information automatically sent. Is it that different if 1 initial welcome message comes to those who click to 'follow' you (already says they are interested in you, no?) Just curious, not saying I'm buying a belief on this one yet.

The FCC is moving forward with it's National Broadband Plan and has adopted live streaming for workshops, a blog for discussion and now a Twitter account too.

The tagline for Building43 is "for people who are fanatical about the Internet," but the discussion is clearly only about the Web. Whether it's the "2010 Web" or some other variation. I'd like to understand why for web people "the web" = the Internet, and why the transport and connectivity are assumed. The direction large ISPs are taking us will result in a return to closed networks like the Compuserve and Prodigy and where the web is something we receive instead of something we build. It will be something we consume like cable TV instead of something we "do" like networking. Can any of you enlighten me with your observations?

Actually, the tagline is: "We’re building43. What are you building?". The "fanatical about the Internet was our pre-launch tagline.

But you raise a valid point. I helped develop WiFi, and nobody is ever amazed that they get WiFi - only when they don't. I think people don't care about the plumbing - as long as when they are thirsty they get water. Same with broadband, cell phones, etc. Who cares, as long as it works? But when it stops - EVERYONE cares!
- Rob La Gesse
Datacenters and fanatical interest in them is all fine and good but is POINTLESS unless you take a holistic view of the access layer that provides paths for PEOPLE to reach the damn things. Seriously folks. 2010 will be here shortly and most of the "networks" most bleeding edgers are full of FAIL when it comes to grasping what broadband is, how it works, how it arrives in a market, and all the things the NBP is going to mean.

Just as a review for future additions to this thread: http://blog.simeonov.com/2006...

- Jay Cuthrell
:) I agree it is a horrid strategy. I was just making a comment on the general lack of concern people have. Kind of like the people that drive 2,000 miles with the "check oil" light on, and are suddenly surprised when the engine seizes up. It's part of our "entitlement society". But we don't need to worry - just as with health care the Government will make it all right. Make it all "even". That''ll solve everything :)

building43 is an informative site - meant to be helpful to small-medium businesses.

- Debi Jones
Rob -- not sure I grasp the logic that equates "new" with the inability to take a stance by lack of position. The SMB market can only take advantage of social tools value prop by having access to them. This invariably leads to the question of broadband paths. And yes, I read the contributor guidelines and I don't sell a product or a service. I just radiate passion on topics and I'm highly sensitized to orthogonal goals of online and offline business innovation that assumes ubiquitous broadband access.

Jason, fortunately these discussions are occurring in other albeit smaller venues.

Rocky, you and Robert have a large audience among the weborati and Rackspace's core business is directly and profoundly tied to the outcomes of the future of connectivity for your customers.

Re: Help More Entrepreneurs Help Users - http://www.jasoncronkhite.com/busines...
"Mark, I agree. Action is everything and I too believe getting a corporate structure in place may be/should be one of the 1st milestones. I invited Charles Armstrong of Trampoline Systems out of the UK to the group so that he could share his experiences with how he crowdsourced a funding round. I'm not clear on what would be the best structure (a holding company trust, LLC membership, C-corp etc.). Let's talk more specifically about some other milestones and also find some financial SME's (subject matter experts). It would be great to have a fund/entity developed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. I think Dave Winer has some insight into these things as well as Simon but, I also know that Dave and Simon are not finance guys (no offense to them). Yet, I'm sure they have folks in their trusted circle of friends like we all do. What do Vlad, Brian and Ryan think? How are things coming along with the project? Let me know when you think I can add value to the project. Cheers, Jason"

How could we support something like this effort? If there was an existing organization that everyone invests into and ideas brought forward, the users vote on ventures to help take to the next level that show promise. If there were a decentralized network of centers where all members pay into be you a developer, accountant, marketer, etc., you contribute financially and with professional skills to carry forward ventures.

Hah, Demi Moore @mrskutcher has joined FriendFeed at http://friendfeed.com/mrskutc... Too bad she didn't do that a week ago. ;-)

I'm sure that would have helped negotations a little. :-)
- Robert Scoble
What's amazing is how little engagement someone with 1.75 million followers has. You would think that at least a few thousand would have come here and signed up and commented. But no. I'm noticing that trend with a lot of Twitter accounts lately that have been gifted a lot of followers via the Suggested User List.
- Robert Scoble
Agree with Scoble.
- Manuel Mas
Maybe FF should implement suggestion after you posted some stuff in order to make it more in line with your interests. Yet, you would have a vacant Home page without having a Suggested List up front, same with Twitter.
- Manuel Mas
I've waited and wondered about something like this happening. It's an interesting test.
- Robert Kenney
Must be on Facebook's payroll ;-)
- Martha
What exactly Kenney? (By the way, this is why FF needs indented replies).
- Manuel Mas
Yeah, I would have expected way more than 250 comments after an hour.
- Michael McKean
Manuel, it's pretty easy to find people to follow on FriendFeed: do a search for something that interests you and then follow the people that made good posts. You can save the search and run it again in a few days to find even more people to follow.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah, it is disturbing really that so many people can be so into someone without any real interaction. It's creepy to me.

that must mean the end is near, later folks, im outta here
- echostreamer
A tiny fraction of followers show up and post a reply in the thread. Naturally more have joined but have yet to post something, but the number is very low.
- Robert Kenney
Enigma: I know yet, that is not ideal for the regular folk jumping in for a quick fix.
- Manuel Mas
Twitter users are trying to understand the new tweetfeed platform
- Johni Fisher
Robert, I think we might have got this thing wrong. This acquisition might be the best thing to happen to FriendFeed, it's giving them exposure they never would have gotten before, it gives them legitimacy. I wrote about it yesterday after I noticed all of the sudden I was getting a lot more followers on FriendFeed. I wondered wait a minute, this could have the opposite effect that we thought.
- Stephen Pickering
Really? I find I get a lot better follows (and thus a much more enjoyable experience) when I go that route versus any suggested user list. My first month on FF was horribly boring because all I was following was the suggested user list...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Stephen : +1
- Johni Fisher
In other words, if my theory holds, Demi et al joine because of the acquisition
- Stephen Pickering
Yes agree on the placement Scoble. You gotta think someone was motivated financially.
- Jason Cronkhite
from iPhone
Thanks Johni
- Stephen Pickering
Do we want them here :-))) ??
- Johni Fisher
Well, I'm thinking of the big picture of attracting a larger audience, not necessarily just "stars"
- Stephen Pickering
This is just how Google got their break. They hooked up with Yahoo and it gave them legitimacy, albeit I know they weren't "acquired"
- Stephen Pickering
So many years I couldnt enjoy a web site as I do here , learning so much , and exploring so interesting world and ppl , it is far from the Twitter feeling ,here it is more like a family with much respect
- Johni Fisher
lol, I really don't think that is actually Demi. The timing is too weird and Ashton isn't on FF so why would Demi venture on over here?
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Nicholas: it is Demi. She Tweeted from her main account that she was trying out FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
And Ashton is supposedly on FF too.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I stand corrected!
- Nicholas Kreidberg
She's subbed to "ashton" http://friendfeed.com/theateam

This product is not going to die. It's going to be better than ever. It's gonna continue to innovate, be Facebook's R&D like Robert said, and have a life of its own

- Johni Fisher
well, now! there's something for everyone to blame the "death of FriendFeed as we knew it" on besides the sale to Facebook :) hehe

Engagement is depth. More users is breadth. We need both

Hey, did you guys see the language feature at the bottom? Has it always been there? I just noticed it. I'm looking at it in Russian now.
- Stephen Pickering
I now know how to spell edit and delete pa Russki
- Stephen Pickering
It's because of the acquisition. FB has, if inadvertently, taken FF mainstream. Now all we need is for Demi and Ashton to take part in our conversations. (But they'd better watch out for those wacky Russians...)
- Dennis Jernberg
It's been there a few months, Stephen. Try the upside down version (but only briefly!).
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Ha!
- Stephen Pickering
Upside down is a cool language!
- Stephen Pickering
Cool but VERY confusing! You look at it and it almost makes sense. Not quite, but ALMOST =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
So is Facebook the internet now?
- Stephen Pickering
I like it better tipe | elefep
- Stephen Pickering
I'm not going to even consider subscribing to the Kutchers till they start engaging in our (or even their own) conversations here. What's FriendFeed for anyway?

Shhhh. Is it my imagination but have things gotten really quiet around here mes amigos?
