I’ve been fortunate enough to attend the last two Big Boulder events; here, here and even recommended context as the next subject here. At the end of the last event, they launched the Big Boulder Initiative. This is an update on their progress. (Details here.) Enjoy!
CEO of Gnip, @chrismoodycom recently spoke to Bloomberg about social data and what businesses are currently looking for. Enjoy!
I had coffee with the CEO of a very large agency this past week and during our conversation, he mentioned that one of the things he sees is business struggling with is the demise of the marketing campaign. (Did I mention this he runs a VERY large agency?) To be honest I wasn’t shocked by this statement as it’s something I’ve seen over the past 4 years. I was surprised that an...
I found this video on Vimeo and it outlines some interesting points about relationships and how social networks contribute to feeling lonely.

@bryankramer sits down and interviews @scobleizer what’s happending now. I’d love to have Robert Scoble’s job!
I was fortunate enough to attend the Big Boulder Conference (about a month ago) with a star studded cast of data geeks and it was yet again, an amazing experience. The focus this year was decidedly international and if I had only one word to sum it up, that word would be: Brazil. (I’ve posted in the past about the Brazilian culture and it’s passion for social, here. There is and will...
Big Boulder is a great event in – you guessed it – Boulder. The focus is on Social Data and there were some amazing speakers this year. (Don’t bother trying to sign-up. It’s invite only!)
I really like Friend or Follow to help manage my social networkings. You should check them out!
