I think there is scope for expansion, and there are some really interesting philosophical questions around the definition of presence. Web2 seems to fragment as well as unite and the ability to over-arch presence across Web2 'silos' is really quite interesting. I also hereby claim the term 'gravitas engineering' :-) 2009-02-04T17:22:51.059+01:00 2009-02-04T17:22:51.059+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2377005&comment_id=55510857 Steve Nimmons I've tried LinkedIn and Xing and eventually gave up on Xing. I found LinkedIn much more relevant and had much better groups. Cant someone create an 'overarching' framework / service so we can internetwork between all of these social hubs? Please!!!? 2009-02-04T17:10:30.622+01:00 2009-02-04T17:10:30.622+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376995&comment_id=55509498 Steve Nimmons I think Hoffman is absolutely correct in what he says about merging with Facebook. It may at some point make commercial sense (who knows) but the separation of business and personal networks is really appealing (to some, I think most). It seems to have happened that way quite organically, so why force it together. I just hope LinkedIn doesn't lose the plot with application additions. Keep it simple and reasonably vanilla please. 2009-02-04T17:06:24.841+01:00 2009-02-04T17:06:24.841+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376976&comment_id=55507028 Steve Nimmons I like the description 'presence engineers'. Web2 has really fragmented what presence is all about - it's hard to find a truly captive audience these days as there is so much content and so many delivery channels. I kind of also like the idea of 'gravitas engineers', but that's another story :-) 2009-02-04T16:50:46.190+01:00 2009-02-04T16:50:46.190+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376864&comment_id=55491756 Steve Nimmons It would be interesting to see what synergy could be created with things like Facebook causes. I wonder if maybe there's some API magic that could glue established communities on other Social Networks to Kiva's financing model. Rather than just have bunches of non-active cause members on Social Networks it would be interesting to see if they could be 'mobilised' through such integration... 2009-02-04T14:44:07.686+01:00 2009-02-04T14:44:07.686+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376852&comment_id=55490783 Steve Nimmons Tom, see the section above which has a link i.e.: "We have 500 invites for TechCrunch readers here." There are still a couple of hundred left as far as I could see... 2009-02-04T14:37:06.761+01:00 2009-02-04T14:37:06.761+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376852&comment_id=55489683 Steve Nimmons Just signed up and had a very quick look (I'll come back for more later!). Would be nice to have an 'import stuff about me' button from iLike / Last.FM and so on so it could build a profile / intelligent list of what I might be looking for. I don't like the Google Ads on the pages, just a personal taste thing - but better to monetise through ticket cross-selling in the end I would suspect. Worth a look... 2009-02-04T14:35:31.240+01:00 2009-02-04T14:35:31.240+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376838&comment_id=55487254 Steve Nimmons I think these emerging mobile apps are really interesting. On the privacy side of things, it's important to remember the phone is the tracked device, not the person - so you probably cant use Latitude locations as alibis - well not yet anyway! 2009-02-04T14:26:56.342+01:00 2009-02-04T14:26:56.342+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2376837&comment_id=55487247 Steve Nimmons Makes you wonder if, where and how they are storing and protecting subscriber payment details. Time for an audit perhaps... 2009-02-04T14:24:51.628+01:00 2009-02-04T14:24:51.628+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2375646&comment_id=55293810 Steve Nimmons It's a rather disturbing issue, and I think all of these sites need to be working on a solution across many geographic and jurisdictional boundaries. It would be interesting if this kind of 'problem' became an enabler and driver for better global co-operation / information sharing. Nothing can ever be made 100% safe though, hence the ever present need for education and parental vigilance. 2009-02-03T19:29:56.995+01:00 2009-02-03T19:29:56.995+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2375177&comment_id=55225171 Steve Nimmons This is a step in the right direction and will hopefully frustrate the creators of those awful scraper sites. I wonder though at the universal applicability (given variation in copyright legislation across the globe), as well as people's genuine understanding of licensing models and attribution requirements. Let's retain pragmatism and an element of educating and not just vilifying the 'accidental infringer'. 2009-02-03T12:49:52.405+01:00 2009-02-03T12:49:52.405+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2375044&comment_id=55208582 Steve Nimmons Fascinating article. It would be nice to see a further drill-down into what (in terms of semantics and content type) people are more likely to re-tweet. I had previously noted (through personal use) that time windows were quite important. Being active when the primary users in the US are online, generated a lot more conversation. No big surprise, but worth noting if you are a PR company or a marketer in the UK! 2009-02-03T11:03:42.565+01:00 2009-02-03T11:03:42.565+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2321121&comment_id=51544835 Steve Nimmons I would also add that Friendfeed's 'liked' function works great for fast social sharing. I've got this linked to Twitter, so with a single click on Friendfeed I can post up that I like the article at the link destination. It occurs to me this can circumvent Retweet, and hence add further complication to the solution to trending and authority tracking. For 'those what comment' I would recommend getting a gravatar and using the same pic across your web presences and 'comment streams' to have 'brand consistency'. 2009-01-21T09:09:23.751+01:00 2009-01-21T09:09:23.751+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2116718&comment_id=43665462 Steve Nimmons I'm not sure that 'writing lasts forever' (as in point 10). Journalistic output has a rather short half-life in my view. Just to represent the counterpoint, blogging is sometimes more entertaining when it breaks all the rules and is wonderfully amateur. 2008-12-19T11:46:36.949+01:00 2008-12-19T11:46:36.949+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=SteveNimmons&conv=2092925&comment_id=42500583 Account It does look rather splendid.
