I' m headed to Austin today and I am typing this post from the airplane trip on the way. It seems to be a good way to get a post up and I am using Windows Live Writer which allows me to post numerous articles and blog posts from my desktop. I can draft a [...]

Technorati has been an icon of the blogosphere since Dave Sifry began the company to track blogs and provide bloggers with statistics and search. It was the first thing people downloaded to their blogs, and the first part of setting up a blog. They seem to have lost that celebrity status. There are so [...]

You have all had a chance to throw a zombie sheep at someone or poked, pushed, prodded, slapped and rode hard and put away wet your friends and followers on Facebook, and I myself of course have had enough of the fun. It' s being termed application spam or what Mike Arrington is calling friend spamming. Facebook [...]

I have been thinking about the comment left on my post about Blog Talk Radio and their attempt at monetizing their application. Then I read today over at HipMojo the article about why companies that are basing themselves on ad revenue will fail. It helped me formulate my own opinion about how companies in the [...]

There are many people that believe that social media is some sort of new religion. In fact, many believe that adopting social media will somehow take them to the promise land, and make them successful beyond their wildest dreams. This I' m afraid to say is not actually the case. Joshua Porter has posted entitled The Problem [...]

I am a really big fan of Blog Talk Radio and have met Alan Levy, John Havens, Lisa Padilla, their newest addition, Kris Smith, and have spoken to others in their organization. They are a bunch of great people. They have a super application that is easy to use, is free for its users, [...]

Just after their presentation at DEMO 08, I had a chance to sit down and have lunch with Fred Ngo of Standout Jobs. Ben Yoskovitz, a friend and someone that has helped me get my business on track here, is also one of the co-founder' s and is CEO of the company. I was also [...]

I have been waiting for the newest release of Firefox as I understand it will help cure my memory woes with the boat anchor*. I was glad to read on Techeme as reported by CNet News that Firefox has now come out with its latest version in beta. I ran right over and downloaded [...]

Silicon Alley Insider is discussing the fact that Fox News Corp. is trying to make a back door deal with Yahoo. In the words of my friend Dave Taylor, so what? Apparently, Yahoo will do anything not to fall into the hands of Microsoft or do they actually realize this is inevitable and they are [...]

I tried to begin this with the tune of Dire Straits Money For Nothing but it somehow fell short. I ran across the fact that AT T is now going to be offering Wifi to Starbucks, and I wanted to figure out why I can' t get my free Wifi? I have been spending some time at [...]

A friend recently sent me an invite to join a new social network. These days it is difficult not to receive an invite to join this network or be a user of this or that new application. Everyone has a some social sprinkled in their recipe for success. What stood out in my mind about [...]

Just reading that Google is rumored to buy Plaxo for $200M and I keep thinking to myself, why is Google doing what Microsoft should be doing instead of purchasing Yahoo? I guess that is why I' m not running a company that can write a check for $44.6B, but it seems to me that Google is [...]

I have been preaching to people as long as I remember that We live in a Google World. I happened upon a post today by Owen Thomas (no I' m not a Valleywag reader, I thank Techmeme) about Google and its global market share. He refers to a chart done by Efficient Frontier Insights showing the [...]

I had to jinx myself as a result of my bragging about touching everything and having it turn to gold. The pendulum has swung as it relates to my quote: Then after the 4 years we have been going here, I have a week like this one where everything clicks. Everything I touch turns to gold [...]

As I looked over some of my feeds in my RSS reader today I cam across a piece written by Marc Andreessen about the deathwatch of the New York Times. His sarcasm in the piece makes it a fun read in spite of the message. His take as I read it is that unless changes [...]

Believe me when I say it has been a social media storm this week. I am not referring to the craziness we have seen about Microsoft offering a bazillion dollars for the purchase of Yahoo, but the fact that my business is social media consulting and business is good. There are times in a budding [...]

Some crazy things have been happening here at One By One Media since we walked into the airport in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Blog World and New Media Expo last year. The craziness began as just a simple presentation at the Expo and has since snowballed into lots of new business, many new professional [...]

It may be a little late, but I wanted to personally wish all of you a Happy Holiday season and especially a Happy New Year! 2008 will see some changes here at One By One Media, and I will be following up on that more. One of the changes will be the look and feel [...]

Many of you have come by here and wanted to know what is going on in the world of One By One Media, and why we have been dormant. There are many reasons( you know what they say about excuses), but the biggest of which is we are terribly busy, and suffice it to say [...]

Last I night I spoke at a small group that showed up for the Social Media Club - Denver, monthly meetup hosted by the great people at Me.Dium. Following the meeting, we had an intimate dinner with some of the attendees and we were speaking about some of the news of the day and of the [...]
