"Finding a job with social media. Thanks to social media times have gotten a little easier. But what ever happened to the old traditional ways to finding a job. like meeting people with the right connections. Our friends at http://www.pinkslipmixers.com do this with mixers to help people trying to find work. They are doing them all around the country"

"Twitter's new recommended friends feature would be an easy place to sell introductions to users to brand name companies. That's the idea."
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
nope. that ain't nearly enough to qualify as a biz model, dude
- charles cooper
If I were on Twitter, which I am not, because it is a Spam toll nothing less nothing more, why would I pay to have Twitter introduce me to my company? Twitter has no business model. It is a black hole! Twitter is Viral and viral is done by marketing professionals who are Whores. People on Twitter whoring for attention. You want people top listen to you, you have to scream louder than others!

Seems like something we are interested in following

charles, i think you're right - it's not going to be enough revenue in and of itself. it may be very very little even.
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Quite honestly: The money is in Twitter search. It already looks like Google, and it is updating in almost real time. Just speculation on my end, but I'd look there for their business model.

What, you all think Twitter is immune? Switch to http://identi.ca (or one of the other servers in the OpenMicroBlogging cloud) if you want some real protection against the shutdown of yet another centralized service: http://laconi.ca/trac...
- Michael R. Bernstein
Michael: I agree, I think the more sites that disappear like this, the more people will want protection and will move to open platforms like Identica.

Yeah, probably just a solid salary and some kind of "bonus" for the Pownce code.
- Costa Walcott
One of the co-founders is a twitter founder... Maybe he just concentrated on twitter more than pownce.
- Jack
competition is always a good thing. But clearly, Twitter is the winner in this game.
- Vincent van Wylick
we've been on Pownce and I thinking that basic text is a little more appealing its quick now Pownce i load a video i have to find it and then load it na if im going to post on pownce its going to be text and links

I do not shop at Wal Mart if I can help it - and so why would I bother with any social network they created?
- Nation Hahn
I like that chart - it puts facebook in perspective, for example, with friendster. I remember sixdegrees, I had fun in there.

Pretty Cool history of Social Networking. Wonder if there is one on Business Networking Sites?

It is what it is. People get board and content is what we are all after

this seems insane. as a start-up you learn so much from your early prospects and customers. plus no one will have the passion nor understand your product as well as the initial founders. now having a channel strategy for your product is another story.
- Kevin Gough
In early stages you really value the feedback you get in the sales process from your customers and it can help you alter your offerings (tweak them) in a way that will ensure longer term success. We've outsourced things like 'fulfilment services' (i.e. stuff after the sale) but the feedback is too valuable to just pass off to some folks who don't really care.
- Andrew Leyden
we have been spending alot of our time developing a team of people that do understand and have a passion for what is being done. its not finding them that is the problem it is spending the time to do it. Their is no rush- Trigeia Twin

I need some opinions on a couple of business card designs that I mocked up for my new business cards. Please don't hold back on your criticism. BE HONEST!
The small text at the bottom is way too hard to read with the cracked background. I'm also not sure about the modern-art blue thing combined with the look of the background. They're too different of styles to me.
- Rochelle
I don't like them. Hard to scan. And not conversational. Here's my business card best practices: http://scobleizer.com/2006... why not do some Moo cards with your photographs? If you are doing design and photography, they would be a LOT better than these.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, I was feeling the same way about the logo and the background. It just stands out too much. I'm going to try something else with the logo to blend it in more with the background.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Looks too 1994 grungy too me :-/ I would just go all black with the green logo blended in gray in the background. And not that beige text.
- Thomas Bøhm
Black cards are hard for people to write upon (so are moo cards) I recommend keeping cards simple so people can remember to follow up with you
- Shannon Clark
@mathewballard Black text ? We´re talking about the images above are we not ?
- Thomas Bøhm
Yes, we are. Looking at them on my monitor I see black text. But, just to make sure I did go to the PSD and made sure it was 100% CMYK black.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Thinking out loud here: What would you think about incorporating "Snapshots" of my work on the card?
- Mathew™ one of a kind
That would be cool, but you would have to update them all the time then, if you don´t have a lot of classic work you´re very happy with.
- Thomas Bøhm
I don't think that would be a problem. Every time I ordered new cards I would just update them.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Got the year-end bonus today! Woo hoo! 5% more than last year, which doesn't suck considering that we're lucky to get anything at all. Now I can buy a new (rebuilt) motor for my Camry and stop burning oil. Yay me!
Who tweets things of value? Its entertaining brain dumping of findings in life and on the web... whoever wrote that needs to delete their twitterself.

"More than 200 slaves lived in the whitewashed shacks in the early 1800s, and some of their descendants remained for more than 100 years after the Civil War. The last tenants abandoned the hovels about 30 years ago, and even they would have struggled to imagine a distant daughter of the plantation one day calling the White House home."

I asked about customizing a view. Answer @Laura: The answer to that varies depending on whether you're talking about Drupal 5 or Drupal 6. In Drupal 5, there is a "Views theme wizard" which you can copy/paste into your theme and modify. In Drupal 6, there are ALL kinds of templates you can get under "Theme inforation" in a view. Another answer was "the contemplate module"
- Laura Norvig
@Trigeia, it is great. Depends what you want to use it for, of course.
