Google launched Social Graph API. Using publicly available information, Google will begin to connect people and relationships/friendships from blogs and public social networks. As an example, let’s say you have a MySpace profile with friends. You would like to join Twitter and one of the pains of joining a new social network is building friendships [...]
I was catching up on the new season of The L Word and there is an interesting storyline. Tasha is in the military, dedicated her life to the military, has an impressive career, but is under investigation for being a lesbian. Tasha’s desire to serve our country is honorable but at the end of the [...]
Want to know why people fail at their goals? Three main reasons:
1) They have an unrealistic goal they couldn’t achieve unless a miracle happened.
2) They don’t accurately determine what their true goal is…and stay truth to that path.
3) They don’t have the consistent determination to make the goal a reality.

Last night I tried explaining Facebook to Justin (the man I’m seeing not my nephew). I repeated what I was told on 9rules, what I read elsewhere and my own experiences. He looked at me patiently waiting for me to get to the good part. He’s heard of it, he’s online, he’s geeky…one would think [...]

I know, it’s hard to believe but I swear Steve Rubel said something relevant. He’s dead on and it reminds me of his writings from a couple of years ago. I would have missed it completely if Dave Winer didn’t link to it. What a great way to start the morning.
The bubble really began in [...]
As I said in Part 3, there were several underlying problems in addition to not focusing on the main goals you want to achieve. In Part 3, I used the example of someone who is attracted to one person but dates other people, and expects those relationships to work out (and has hope of getting [...]
Om wrote about a problem he’s having with people using his content without permission on another site to get ad revenue. This is something I’ve spoken about before, many times in fact. Om successfully got one site down but for every one he shuts down, there are five more he doesn’t know about.
He said the [...]
