I started stumbling back in 2003, http://morgaine.stumbleupon.com/ is my main profile. It used to be small and friendly and fun. Started to like it less when they sold the service. Then Soup came around. Still using it, but mostly to keep in touch with fellow Stumblers.

Facebook is copying twitter too closely...even to going down at the same time

Does Twitter have what it takes to be a big player? We've been working with their API on a project and every time there is something out of whack. Anyone else have the same issues?

I think this is bigger than Twitter and FB... I think it's some interweb routes or something.

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media.
- Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!)
- Arleen Anderson
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best.
- Gord McLeod
Agreed.
- Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users.
- Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss.

- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Gotta love it... @RobCairns says "come to Friend Feed? Not" and then his page shows ONE POST from Twitter in the past 18 hours! And that one talks about how Twitter seems to be slowing down again! (Sorry Rob, but that's just too good to let pass!)
- Mark "DerBingle" J
Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time.
- Louis Trapani

5 reasons marketers love Google Adwords and avoid Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft Adcenter | Jeff Woelker : Chicago SEO, SEM, and Social Media Consultant - http://www.jeffwoelker.com/2009...

Microsoft and Yahoo have both been doing their darnedest lately to try and take back some of the market share that Google has earned for itself these days. Although marketers are not always the ultimate decision makers when it comes to which platform to advertise against, it all goes into a decision funnel that influences clients and eventually search engine users. Let me expound.

i tend to do this: dont check feeds or social sites before 11. Check email for any urgent stuff, flag all the others by type/context (Outlook flags) for review after 11 or after lunch. Push to get meetings set between 3 and 5. Dont always succeed, but 8 to 11 are prime hours for me. I am working or spending time in 1:1 or small meetings with the team, only on things that matters i.e. is about actionable things that are on the current plan. Most people have learned to adapt.

- Dave Winer
completely agree. My strategy is to check mails after putting 2-3 of work. Some of my friends do other way around. They clear mail box early in the morning in one hr and than come back to it only after lunch...
- sameer guglani
+1 Dave. We teach people how to treat us. When returning or taking calls it's typical to hear "Did you get my email?" or making references to email with lines like "What do you think?" The assumption is emails are being read if not upon receipt then soon after.
- Dave Martin
Couldn't agree with author more. So I have multiple rules and filters in Outlook plus whitelists, means I rarely visit inbox but know who I need/want to pay attention to, and when. It all fits with my regimen for email on my terms. Another thing: I don''t do mobile email so no Blackberry/iPhone/whatever.
- Neville Hobson
This works if your work culture is in sync with the philosophy. I am expected to have my face in Outlook about a hundred times a day. Since I haven't been able to change that expectation, I have to live under it.
- Robert Linthicum
I don't check my email all the time, only once every few hours, unless something very pressing is going on. It also helps to move clients and colleagues on to Wikis or other collaborative platforms and reduce email. I try to get at least one priority task out of the way in the morning before answering my email, at least, even if there are days when I need to read it early in the day.

Big Three auto CEOs flew private jets to ask for taxpayer money - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2008...
A.T., Brian, Roney Smith and 15 other people liked this
At Wednesday's hearing, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-California, pressed the private-jet issue, asking the three CEOs to "raise their hand if they flew here commercial." "Let the record show, no hands went up," Sherman said. "Second, I'm going to ask you to raise your hand if you are planning to sell your jet in place now and fly back commercial. Let the record show, no hands went up." The executives did not specifically respond to those remarks. In their testimony, they said they are streamlining business operations in general. When contacted by CNN, the three auto companies defended the CEOs' travel as standard procedure. Like many other major corporations, all three have policies requiring their CEOs to travel in private jets for safety reasons.

More on the private jet story. This time from CNN. I can't believe that these companies claim "safety reasons" require them to fly a private jet. That just sounds so lame. I can't imagine it is any safer to fly a private jet than a commercial aircraft and with such a low rate of commercial crashes this justification only makes them look like bigger idiots. At least they got grilled over this and I hope it pressures them to sell those jets.

@imran: Chrysler at least paid back their first loan and did do well for a time. The corporate atmosphere has changed since then, IMO. As long as the executives get their perks and bonuses, that's all that matters.
- Julie Barrett
Compared to all the mismanagement, wasted opportunities and wasted resources committed by these companies, a private jet really pales into nothingness. Get upset about the state they are in and were allowed to continue being in without changing (as other industries had to). It is said that if you loose $2000/month you have a problem, and the banks will shut you down. If on the other hand you lose $2000000/month, the banks have a problem, and they will help you.

Toyota is successful simply because they make quality cheap energy efficient cars for the whole world, according to needs of individual countries, meanwhile GM and Ford make cars for USA, mostly, big boats and gas guzzlers.
- imran
imran, very good point. In other countries, the roads are not wide enough to sustain American cars.
- Shevonne
like the banking industry if there are no consequences for unfeasible business practices it just deepens the crisis; a bail-out would just postpone the inevitable & prolong the inefficiencies
- sofarsoShawn
Actually, GM and Ford both make sub compacts that aren't available in the US market, and have for years. Why they've not offered those cars in the US is a mystery to me aside from blind greed and pig ignorance.

Question: Would you trust a Toyota or Ford ?
- imran
I'd rather see the $25 Billion spent on tax incentives for retraining those auto workers that possess relevant skills to help establish mass transit projects like high speed rail or to build prefabricated housing made from solar panels. It appears that working for the Big 3 offers little opportunity for the 'American Dream' unless you are an executive officer. Bankruptcy hearings might change that. Bailouts won't.
- scott anderson
Reminds me of when the Brazilian president bought a brand-new 777 from Boeing. 6th largest country in the world in territory and the opposition thought the Commander In Chief was good to keep flying in a 40-year-old KC-135. Depending on your job, and on the size of the country you operate from, private jets are no luxury. In the US, it's even more important to have one, because of all the check-in procedures after 9/11.
