Great info! I agree fish where the fish are :) - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)

Agree on the whole. I always find these categories a little artificial: Really "Forrester-speak". :) I think the recommendations are the most interesting. I'd make a separate post out of that. - Meryn Stol

You say it yourself: "What’s interesting isn’t this vision for the future, but what it holds in store for brands, " . I'd like these recommendations to be fleshed out with concrete first steps to take. Doesn't have to be more than links to relevant resources. - Meryn Stol

Meryn The recommendations are fleshed out in the actual reports. Our clients (brands) have access to see them. - Jeremiah Owyang

Hmm ok... Then I'll need to get the details elsewhere I guess. :) - Meryn Stol

Interesting categorization of the development into eras. Any consideration to the impact of scale on the 5th era? Just as a recent example with Facebook, their format evolution was not well received by what is not an insignificant number of members, and yet the reality is - that change - negative impact not withstanding is not rolling back. - Patrick Boegel

There will be a give and take between communities and brands. The thing is, Facebook doesn't have a competitive alternative that users could go to. In my report, we suggest that active communities could define specs for products, and bid MULTIPLE companies to build it. - Jeremiah Owyang

I completely understand that Jeremiah, just wondering if the nature of scale impacted or perhaps better said impacts the thought process for very complex long term brand relationships, ie Health Insurance, Financial Services, a college/university choice, where consversation and user invovlement can be complicated. Very interested in the full report either way. Thx. - Patrick Boegel

good stuff Jeremiah, enjoyed and some good thought provokers there for the future - Richard Binhammer

Nice paper but really expensive for young people. $750 means $41 for page. - Alp

Great information, understanding the future's potential is more important than ever on the social web. - Maria Reyes-McDavis

Interesting, but very general and hard to apply. I see companies more as å provide of tools/stage for conversation, aka the gold rush mining vs selling tools - Anders Dahlberg

Alp, Many of Forrester's clients are large brands who have a subscription. We're still sharing a great deal on this blog, and have given the report to bloggers to cover, so there's value to be had there. - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah (and the team), a great piece of work and, I imagine, a labour of both love and loathing at times! I have been very interested in this area as I have looked at the shift in skills to deliver social media activity changes from one of basic coding knowledge to much more human, interactive skills. - Paul Fabretti

Fantastic article! I found it SO intriguing that I've even printed it out! - J. D. Ebberly

"How Brands Should Prepare" is a great bit of information. Jeremiah, it would be nice (i'd be reading) if you expanded in future blog posts about the "How Brands Should Prepare". - frank barry

That's likely to be a research report I'm thinking about writing Frank - Jeremiah Owyang

Probably correct in assuming that most online social networks will neither spawn nor solidify to the point of being considered ‘affinity groups’ with the level of cohesion, unified budgetary authority or organized implementation capability of NGOs, churches, or employee aggregations. Even in the era of social commerce. I hope I’m wrong. - A Mitchell

Absolutely not. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Yep, did that last year - Deepak Singh

Nope. - Micah Wittman

People want to carry an ipod for hearing music, a iphone for communication, a tablet for browsing and kindle for reading ebooks. If they can carry all those, why not? Forget 'travel light' - TrafficBug

my iphone is for comms and podcasts. My old ipod for my music collection since the iphone can't handle 70gb of mp3's right now ;) - alphaxion

I've used my phone in place of a dedicated audio player and camera for a long time, and haven't had many problems, although I tend not to carry around a large music collection. - Tyson Key

In 2002, I had a 20 GB iPod G2 and phone capable of playing and recording audio with 64MB of memory. I carried both, because the music playing capabilities of the phone were a joke. Now I have a 30 GB iPod G5 and a 32 GB iPhone 3GS, and I use the iPhone to play music 95% of the time. I only use the iPod in my car anyway, I wouldn't carry both devices with me. - Brome

Oddly enough, my first portable music device *was* my iPhone. I've had head units that could play WMA/MP3 CD's and DVDs for years so I was able to travel with most of my regularly listened to music collection in about 7 DVDs. I use it for music, media, communications and entertainment, and it even connects to my head unit, the only thing I still carry around seperately are my SLR and DSLR cameras and laptop for image processing. - Tsali, The Native of FF from fftogo

Nope. I'd rather have my phone for phoning. - Amy

Sort of. My old iPod is now reserved for kids music and plays in their room, whereas all of my content is on my iPhone. - Andrew Leyden

Pretty much. Since getting my iPhone 3GS, my 80GB iPod video has been sitting unused on my desk. - Herb Hernandez

I own a mp3 player and a 8 mpx camera but yet it is my phone to which I turn when I need pictures or music for the most part. Of course, the down side is that my phone takes a 2.5 mm headphone jack, but the upside is that if I use the 2.5 mm headbuds that came with it, I can tune in NPR on the FM radio application. (Which is really what I use MOST when it comes to using the phone to listen to something.) - Miss Elle

I did (I own an iPhone), but then phone calls keep interrupting my music. I'm probably going to pick up the 5th gen Nano this week. - Rob H.

No. My Sandisk Sansa, in terms of sound quality and disk space, runs rings around my BlackBerry Curve. I do use my phone, however, when I want to stream my Pandora stations. - Helen Sventitsky

Nope. - Kol Tregaskes

yup iphone - Jeremiah Owyang

Many days I carry two iPods, 80gb and 120 gb. Kinda have a lot of music and podcasts. - Travis Smith

I own neither. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

Yup, mark down another iPhone. - CAJ, somewhere else

Nope I've got my 60 GB 5G ipod for music and Blackjack II for calls. - Got Love For DB™?

Four Square raises a round http://paidcontent.org/article... - Jeremiah Owyang

I agree about Scoble's instincts... I just stay away from things that make him cry - Bastard Operator From FF

That's a tough test. I'd be hard-pressed to give anyone my money who didn't already have a track record. - Hutch Carpenter

Scoble might very well have more success than the majority of VCs if given money. - Mark Evans

I wrote him a five figure check once. - Louis Gray

I hope to write Louis Gray a five figure check some time - Jesse Stay

Yeah, Louis, that investment's doing all right, ain't it? - Hutch Carpenter

After another 35K miles, he might just let you, Jesse. :) - Mark Evans

Ill write Louis a Four Figure Check so he can turn it into a 5 figure check he can give scoble - Jeremiah Owyang

What would Scoble invest in if he were a VC? - Mark Evans

who will write me a 3 figure check so I can give it to Louis? - Jeremiah Owyang

I love foursquare (when it's up). Congrats to the team on raising a round. Interesting area. - John McCrea

John I noticed it's been having problems the last few days too - Jeremiah Owyang

FourSquare is cool. If I could, I would invest in Yelp. I think they are closer to the real money than Twitter or Facebook is. That means that they will either get purchased, or will go all the way on their own. The Yelp iPhone app is already the best one for location. The rest are just games. :-) - Robert Scoble

Scoble’s strength as a VC would be bolstered by his ability to pull in outside pieces for mashups and outside marketing/publicity resources to build early momentum. This is something most VCs claim to do, but are really only around to write cheques. However, a role that might fit Scoble better than being a pure VC would be to also direct an incubation garage where he could contribute ideas and solutions on a daily, face-to-face basis. - A Mitchell

Fourquare is not ready for prime time. I'm on it, I play it, but it just isn't stable or accurate or complete enough to be really satisfying. That being said, I am still the Mayor of Sam's Chowder House. - Francine Hardaway

Brightkite - Wayne Sutton

Francine, I had claim to New England Aquarium for a short time :-) I only wish it was available in Salt Lake City now. - Jesse Stay

I used to think Brightkite but Foursquare has the mojo right now. It's tied to places so it's easier to use and rewards frequent check-ins with fun titles like Mayor and achievements. It has a solid business model. And it's much more social. I've use them both and I'm increasingly gravitating toward foursquare. - Leo Laporte

Foursquare is an absolutely amazing social, location awareness app. Moreover, it is super young and although limited to the city you are in, it should dominate when it picks up steam. Plus, it has a really friggin cool name. - Braden Douglass

I like Foursquare but Brightkite has more features; upload photos to flickr, sync update with facebook status, comments/mentions and already a few augmented reality mashups. Here's my location based iPhone app review blog post: http://socialwayne.com/pvc . Foursquare isn't in my city yet but I had a chance to "play" with it during a recent NYC trip. It has features that will make users... more... - Wayne Sutton

Thanks robert for the comment - Jeremiah Owyang

Brightkite. Foursquare is a non starter, since they don't operate in any cities I'd ever want to be in. - Otto from iPhone

I didn't realize Foursquare had to "operate in cities"... I thought you just added locations when they weren't already in the service. - Her Lindsay-ness

Foursquare - Gabriel

Lindsay: Nope. Foursquare only works in 21 cities: http://foursquare.com/cities . Which makes it a non-starter, since the nearest one of those is 400+ miles away from me. - Otto

My Facebook account is reserved strictly for personal relationships. If I only want to know you in professional sense, I don't friend you. This includes my employees and my boss.

And the spammers too, I guess. Great.. - Citronella

And ghost posters / commenters. - Ben Hanten

Slayerboy: good marketers won't get blocked. I really appreciated getting cuts in line at Six Flags because of their Twitter contest. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Good marketers aren't most marketers :) - Brett Kelly

Brett: only good ones will survive here. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Or they will drown. - sean andersen

Only if Guy likes it will they come. Friendfeed.alltop.com and all that. - Pete Delucchi from iPhone

Here comes the ghost posts. - Holden Page

Robert: I don't mind good marketers, as long as they're genuine. Too many of them (particular the "social media marketing gurus") are just unforgivably obnoxious and fake in their attempts to pimp their own garbage services/blog. So, I really hope you're right :) - Brett Kelly

Bad marketers on FriendFeed will survive in search results. Do a search for a couple of terms like 'canon 135mm' and you'll see plenty of entries that are just links to people selling the lens. You're not going to block them all. I don't see that as a big problem, but I suspect they'll be successful enough there to keep them coming. - Edward Coffey

i love dem social media experts - Holden Page

Start? I've been here for a loooong time. A few of my 'marketing' friends have been too. - AJ Kohn

Marketers phase has already started in Turkey. Friendfeed is generally used by them, or I think like that... - Sabri Küstür

we need like a freindfeed costranostra to keep the peace, and make things just poof into the ethersphere - Robert Higgins

so wish i was a freindfeed coder and i could merge with the stream and provide some community services... :AKA Hiro Protaganist - Robert Higgins

@Robert: +1 for Snowcrash reference. - AJ Kohn

I'm in Marketing, and I've been here from the beginning. Are you slandering my craft, Mr. Scoble? :) - Louis Gray

Louis: you don't work for a big brand. When you sell your souls and work for a big brand let us know, OK? ;-) - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Robert, wait, don't you work for a big brand? - Jesse Stay

Jesse: sssshhhhh. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

"Now on to Google Wave! - sean andersen" Exactly. Unless the FF core team is over there on the sandbox right now, doing all they can to start the scrambling scrum RIGHT NOW, the big GWave will assimilate all. At least until the assimilation wave after that. FF has maybe a one year window -- if that -- to make it's move, whatever that might be, starting right now. - michael silverton

Citronella - I like that the spammers are vaporized almost instantly here. Decent built in tools for group reporting. - BairdWilliamson

If I got here before Guy and I'm geekless does that give me any special designation? - Kimber Scott

michael silverton: Wave sandbox already looks like Gmail. I bet when they release it, it will be Gmail 2.0. I hope Bret & co. are studying it close... - sean andersen

Kimber: you are geeky because you were here before...whether you like that designation or not :) - WorldofHiglet

Louis has more than *one* soul? Or is this a left-foot, right-foot thing. Colour me confus`ed :D - Micah Wittman

LOL! Well, I guess I could be called an amateur geek... - Kimber Scott from email

Pot. Kettle. Black. - Gilbert Harding

@silverton, agreed that FriendFeed has a limited time window to figure out what it wants to be when it's all grown up.. in other news, can't believe it took Guy this long to show up here to play. Nothing wrong with a little marketing, especially if it's of the "Moving the Freeline" variety.. +1 Gilbert, LOL. - Alex Schleber

If I were Guy, or the head of any company, be it a camera shop or whatever, whenever I had a little free time, I'd tweet out, "Hey, I'm going to be on FriendFeed for an hour or so, answering any questions about Alltop, telling you about its features, advantages, and benefits, come join in!" or something like that. That's a vertical that feeds off Twitter and really enriches both platforms, utilizing them both for their strengths. - Stephen Pickering

With Leo, Steve Rubel, and Guy K now all here .. this landscape is about to change ... agreed. - Charlie Anzman

I'm reading Crossing the Chasm, only 18 years after it was published. Can I blend in as a "marketer" now? - DGentry

Well hopefully communities will coexist in open social media, we aren't defined by what or where we login to right? It's just information we share, the platform is merely a pipeline. The communities need to exist beyond the platforms - Mark Essel from iPhone

<LOL> - Allen Harkleroad

Say it isn't so Joe! It will be interesting to watch the transformation, will FriendFeed go to the dark side or will it make a stand :) - Owen Greaves

true.. true.. - Cesar Sanchez

So, do you think the population will tend to shift to more casual people than the creme de la creme people. I feel so, since there are only the innovative, open-minded people on FriendFeed right now; and I think the change is pretty near. - Yiğit Arda Türkoğlu

Marketing guys have always been here. The difference... tactics and respect. That being said change is always happening and even still I'm not sure Friendfeed will hit the critical mass Twitter has with marketers. The friendfeed brand will likely be defined differently than Twitter and attract different people. Time will tell. - Jim Goldstein from iPhone

why? can't marketing guys and geeks get along? - kakuei

No. We cannot get along. This war has been waged for too long, and too much blood has been spilled. Most of us no longer even remember why we are fighting, but it doesn't matter. Victory is all that matters. - DGentry

The marketers are already here, but most of them are totally clueless about how friendfeed works. They somehow think they can dump their stuff here and it will get "found" and when that doesn't work, they just go back to twitter. The ones that do understand how it works either feel it is too much damn work to fake being real to be worth it, or they are the real deal and it works quite well for them. - April Russo (app103)

April: I think there's some cost-benefit analysis going on there. There's a smaller crowd at FF and it takes a lot more work. Plus, most people here are marketing jaded. - Trent Hamm

The craft of marketing. That's priceless. - Big K

Guy is a marketer, sure, but also a geek. Geeks phase ends when the Celebs show up. - Garin Kilpatrick

well if they start selling, just dont click "like" or "comment" and they will drop off the page in minutes - Mark

I think some marketers are already here..but anyway, you think Guy being here will change things much? - Rob Sellen :o)

Robert. You're a friend, but you've a habit of breaking news --sometimes when folks aren't ready. It's not personal, but I just know your traits. I'm going to brief you in detail on Wed. We can do a video if you'd like --I'll come to you. Hugs? - Jeremiah Owyang

awww... ;-) - Chris Heath

Robert - hug Jeremiah, do the video - but insist he brings that little dog with him. IT is cute :) - Rob La Gesse

Will Robert put away his (fake) wounded pride and interview Jeremiah on Wednesday? Oh yes, he will - and now we have a deadline. Good work Robert! - Kami Huyse

bring @goodboyrumba along for the video! :) - Rachel Luxemburg

"Be excellent to each other." - Steve Rubel

Jeremiah: :-) - Robert Scoble from iPhone

OK, can we flashmob to celebrate Jeremiah's new gig right after the interview? - Elliott Ng

Jeremiah: here is the deal. I am not under embargo but already know the news. So I think I will call Arrington because you didn't embargo me. Oh, and I +do+ keep embargoes. I am even keeping a secret about two things you will learn in the morning. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I still struggle with my 7 year old son to not steal his siblings' thunder in matters important to them. It's not easy for him. - Josh Haley

I know those two things, Robert. - Louis Gray

I know a lot of things, not even just two, but maybe not the two you are thinking of - Jesse Stay

Kami, I saw Robert yesterday, and I asked him if I'd hurt his feelings, he said "yes". Robert and I go back, there was a time (ustream launch) where we well, didn't coordinate on news. He's truly a friend, and someone I respect as a media trailblazer --but I need to get everything coordinated. To be clear, he was on the list of folks I'd brief in detail --others just got cursory info. - Jeremiah Owyang

Here's a long discussion on where Jeremiah Owyang will be going next. Interesting discussion developing on embargoes and 'bloggers' - Drew B

Lets figure out where he is going. Who is in most need of Jeremiahs incredible intelligence on social media? - Nisse

Drew, is it interesting that Robert is threatening me that I didn't tell him? Should bloggers assert themselves to get news? (it's a bit fun watching him get antsy) - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah, I find the continual embargo deiscussions fascinating. I hope your trust is respected here. - Drew B from email

Is he going to disneyland? - Cliff Gerrish

Jeremiah: my feelings were hurt because you told pretty much everyone else in the industry other than me. Here's a hint: they can't keep their mouths shut either. But I will. You will know tomorrow that I actually do know the news. But the other deal is that you're wrong. I've kept hundreds of embargoes over the past year and haven't leaked them to anyone. If you weren't a friend and... more... - Robert Scoble

So they want the publicity you can bring but want to control the timing and message. I would be inclined to not agree as well. Sounds like you are being used. - Brian Sullivan

I hear news all the time about people who aren't necessarily friends but would generally want the news quiet - does this mean I should start leaking those details? I'm not sure the right answer to that. The problem though is often the way I hear about that information is through other friends who were trusted to keep the info private. Is it worth betraying the trust of those friends as well? - Jesse Stay

The problem comes maybe when you are "friends" with everybody but also are trying to be a legitimate reporter at the same time. We criticize television and newspaper reporters for this all the time but tech reportage seems to get a pass. - Brian Sullivan

Jesse, yeah your situations seem tough because if you leak, you're a jackass because someone else can't keep their mouth shut. - Chris Heath

Brian: everyone uses me, I'm used to it, it's part of the role I play in life. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, I was planning on telling you before the announcement --and the offer still stands. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intent. - Jeremiah Owyang

What's the point here?? - Andru Edwards

nothing really andru, I say we just move along and let Robert and I handle this offline. Clearly, we need to work this out. - Jeremiah Owyang

Talking to Scoble now, I apologized. I take back what I said above, he's not broken any embargos in a while and I take that charge back. I also briefed him, as a friend, and more. Sorry Robert, I crossed the line. - Jeremiah Owyang

I'm going to guess Jeremiah will join Dave Armano and Peter Kim and work for Dachis. - Ari Herzog

Ari - that's my guess too. - Hutch Carpenter

Now watch Scoble jump to Streamy right now to tell what Jeremiah is doing next. Ha! - Bryan R. Adams

This is funny! "JeremiahGate" got love it :) - Susan Beebe

Scoble is very good at keeping secrets and creating Buzz! :) - Susan Beebe

Thanks Jeremiah! Excited for you. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I want a "Gate" named after me :-) - Jesse Stay

Robert, excellent start at creating the "buzz" for @jowyang 's launch LOL - j damon brown

Link Baiting 101: Start a fight with Scoble. - Jason Calacanis

Once again, calacanis ftw - Chris Heath from iPhone

Dude, why would you do that? I knew where you were going both times, and I kept it to myself. I coulda broken it, but why violate trust. - Jeremy Pepper

Jeremy: who you talking to? No one has violated any trust. We're all cool now anyway. - Robert Scoble

Jeremy: and when I left Microsoft someone DID violate my trust and leaked it within hours. So what? It all works out. Coordination is overrated. - Robert Scoble

LOL Jason. But Robert is right, co-ordination can be overrated. - Ian Betteridge

Group hug. - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah - your recognition and classifications/categorizations of trends and strategies is truly unique. Thank you for all you've done at Forrester. Whatever your new role is, I hope you'll continue to share your thoughts. - A Mitchell

Jeremiah Owyang

shift-command-4 will grab a selected area, there are other keyboard shortcuts for doing similar - LogEx

+++LE ...thats all you need. - Carlos Ayala

In Applications:Utilities, there is an app called Grab that gives the functions a UI, and allows timed captures. You can crop in any image editor. - LogEx

Command-Shift-3 shortcut for taking a screen capture of your entire screen,and you may even know about Command-Shift-4, which gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture. But perhaps the coolest, most-secret hidden capture shortcut is Control-Command-Shift-3 (or 4), which, instead of creating a file on your desktop, copies the capture into your Clipboard memory, so you can paste it where you want. (I use this to paste screen captures right into Photoshop.) - Marcelo Paiva

Jeremiah: Grab is OK, but only captures in TIFF. Have to open and save capture file in Preview if you want another format. :>( - Larry Hawes

Marcelo: Didn't know about the direct-to-clipboard shortcuts. Thanks man! - Larry Hawes

what's the last logo? oh... heh. - Jim Hearts FF

You can see all these logos on their Web site in the bottom right corner as well: http://www.emulex.com/ - Louis Gray

Including replies? because I really can't stand full signatures on email replies. If there's a lot of back and forth, the signature just adds clutter and gets in the way of the content. I like it on the first email in the exchange and then a perhaps a shortened version thereafter. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

Pea, I think that depends on the user's Outlook settings. It is optional. - Louis Gray

But in terms of getting the message across that this company is connected, yes, this setup certainly makes that very clear. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

Oh if only Gmail allowed some HTMLy signatures! :( - Travis Koger

GMail receives the sig just fine. Tested there and .Mac and Outlook. - Louis Gray

So in other words, they don't "get" e-mail? :) - Steve Lynch from twhirl

If I saw an email signature like this, I'd click on all of the links just to see how active they are. Some people have all these accounts but aren't active, so what's the point? But of course this doesn't apply to you Louis. I'm just saying in general. - Violet Mae Lim

Violet, these are active. I promise. :) - Louis Gray

If that company were REALLY into Social Media, it would have just one link, to your Google Profile: http://www.google.com/profile... ;-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, why show favoritism to Google? There's little actual social happening there so far. - LogEx

But why make them click twice? That would just annoy me. EDIT: Also, I could maybe understand if the company didn't have its own site, but it does, why send them away from their own home on the web and give Google all that traffic? - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

Logical: I'm just having some fun with Louis. I personally hate tons of icons on things. So complicated. How do I pick? ;-) - Robert Scoble

At some point, will you discuss the Paladin Advisor's Group more fully? - DGentry

Louis: Looks nice! Looks better than my typical signature where I just have a link to my website and then a link to http://www.travishartwell.net/blog... that lists on my online accounts. - Travis B. Hartwell

snazzy! - Mark Essel

Robert has a free pass to tease or criticize anything I do. It's 100% fair game. I think Google Profiles aren't known well for folks to click through to yet. That said, Robert, bring it on. Here's the company's profile: http://www.google.com/profile... - Louis Gray

And DGentry, yes, we can talk about Paladin soon. Promise. - Louis Gray

Louis, I'm curious about the rationale for putting the Twitter link above the company website in the Google Profile? - LogEx

LE: None. That's been fixed. :) Probably not thinking too much about it. - Louis Gray

Logical: Twitter is the new website. - Robert Scoble

Robert, now I know you're joking! - LogEx

Logical: actually I was joking about the Google Profile thing, not kidding about the Twitter thing. - Robert Scoble

Robert... after all you've said about Twitter and the fragility of SNS relative to your own brand? - LogEx

Yeah, but where's your email address? LOL - David Libby

Didn't you hear....E-Mail is Dead! - Owen Greaves

I wish gMail supported HTML signatures. Been wanting to do something like this for years. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

you can do html in gmail, with a firefox plugin Blank Canvas http://blankcanvasweb.com/pages... - Robert Higgins

Yes, e-mail is dead. It is also required in order to create an account on how many Web sites!?! I think I was required to link my OpenID account to an e-mail address. So much for Identitiy 2.0.... - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Looks sharp imho. - Rob Schieber

what, no My Space link? - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Louis - I like the links on the home page, but EVERY employee gets that? I can tell you that lots of storage people are going to be scared by all of the "interwebs" stuff. I <3 the Emulex guys and know they're trying to update their image, but I'd think that most of them have bigger issues that learning to explain what FriendFeed and SlideShare are when people look at them funny. - Stuart Miniman

Stu, I think I should use the word "optional". It's optional to everyone and every e-mail. And it's fine if some conservative industries aren't ready yet. It's time to shake it up. - Louis Gray

Is it using Wisestamp? Very nice. FYI - Wisestamp is free, works w/ Gmail, Posterous, even the links. - Liza

Is this seriously your sig for emails? Bit busy don't you think? Wouldn't a push to their website that has the actual list be a better use of that space? Also with email clients that don't do HTML its going to be lost. - CW™

It's a bit much - Rodfather

The nice thing about Wisestamp is you can delete the icons in gmail, if it is going to someone who you think has no idea what Slideshare is. Otherwise, wd be a pain. - Liza

In my training of employees on how to do a Email Signature, (where the corp hasn't stated a standard) is to plan for plain text clients. Have your information there. Do one font only and stick to that. Nothing fancy in the font either. Get the information there so that the recipients can contact you or get more information about you. Company Logo's are only if you really need them. Key thing is to provide a sort of Business Card (information how to get a hold of you) at the bottom of emails. - CW™

I tend to fall into the plain text camp. my signature is as follows: " -- 505.652.2878 http://sarahvela.net @orchid8 everywhere" - Sarah is Novembery

Yeah, I like simple signatures. - Andrew C

All the hyperlinks scream I'm spam & it will likely be treated as such by many mail programs. - Rick Frank

Rick, very good feedback. It will be considered. - Louis Gray

Too much. Too busy. I'd get rid of the office line, the link to lousgray.com, and definitely the emulex logo. Anyway that's just my opinion :) - Eric Florenzano

They get it better than I do. I have to admit, I do not recognize all of those icons as they do! - Randy Rambo

Office and mobile phone? You need Google voice. I was able to get a cool number, (areacode) 4 Julio F - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

Just a simple link to a homepage should be enough, small description about what you do, and phone numbers if you're into that kind of thing. - Peter Stuifzand

Too many links in an email signature can cause the email to be flagged as spam. you need to test it out before using it. never can be 100% certain... - Mike Nencetti

Are those custom icons, or something pulled from the web? - Spencer

How does that degrade? Are there alt tags? Does the text/alternative or text/plain part properly remove the HTML and still preserve the pertinent information? Accessibility is just as if not more important than having something flashy IMHO. (Disclaimer: I use a text MUA and you'll get me to accept HTML mail sometime shortly after the sun suffers hydrogen exhaustion...) - matthew john ernisse

yes but what's it mean? More is not bettter. - Jeremiah Owyang

Personally, it seems way too cluttered to me. I would rather just have a link to a page on the company's website that lists all of their various connections. I'm almost as jaded to those icons as I am to banner ads. If I want to know about the company I will be looking at their website first, then their blog, then whatever other services interest me, but I'll always go to their website first. If that's not impressive then it doesn't really matter what they're doing in other spaces. - Her Lindsay-ness

they get it, but is it necessary? agree with others here that it's cluttered and sorta cliche already. - Bill Kinney

Looks good to me. Simple. IMO, I would (1) bump name size +2 pts (2) maybe italicize title or choose different font, so it will jump out at you, but not as much as name (3) remove "www." from website. (4) I haven't seen this in real-life to look at overall point sizes. Often people's business cards need ALL pts sizes +2 to +4.

@louis - how'd you create a company google profile? - andy brudtkuhl

Andy, A Google profile is just assigned to a GMail account. So if you create a centralized GMail account, you can make a company profile. This one, for example, is emulexinc@gmail.com. More on the strategy here: http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray

I think if they are all business related and it is for marketing- why not. There is another app nomee.com that does a card also. It is flash based so won't work on the iphone - Kathleen Cercone

I do like FF and use it almost every day.
