The ExperienceCurve Social Media Top Ten
Posted: August 19th, 2007 | Author: Karl | Filed under: Uncategorized | 3 Comments »Bryan Person just recently started an interesting meme called the “social media top ten” on his blog, basically the top ten stories around social media this week. In addition to posting the list himself he also proposed other people create their own “social media top ten”, post it on their blogs and tag it with “SMT10″ for technorati. So I thought I would contribute to this and start my own “social media top ten”, I’m also going to using the tag on delicious which i’ll bookmark the stories I think are relevant on there as well.
So here’s my Social Media Top Ten for last week:
- Post: Rethinking Crossing The Chasm on Read/Write Web – Social media changing the way companies can cross the chasm between early adopters and the mass market
- News: Pligg is for sale, the open source version of the digg platform is for sale, including the domain, community and everything. With over 60,000 downloads from Sourceforge it’s got quite an install base.
- News: Tecnorati lays off 8, Sifry, the CEO resigns.
- Tool: With the launch of Spock the “person search engine”, a new place emerged to aggregate information about your name. Could this become the automatic social network?
- Post: Peter Kim’s advice to marketers on social networks
- Bubble: Facebook Application sells for $3 Million
- Reports of blogging’s death are greatly exaggerated: BL Ochman, Hugh at Gaping Void and Hugh again
- wikipatents great example of co-creation, and the patent for the automatic bird trap and cat feeder is an example of of crazy assed patents
