Forrester Research made a big splash in the pool yesterday with the announcement of an addition to the Social Technographics ladder, their representation of what online activities people are engaged in. Between “Creators” – those who post long-form original material, be it text, audio or video – and “Critics” – people who rate existing material [...]

As everyone likely knows, Twitter debuted native list-making functionality last week to the entire user-base after a brief period of selective beta testing. You won’t be notified that you now have the ability to make lists until you log in to Twitter on the web and see the message at the top of the page.

One of my biggest issues around Twitter is the lack of meta-data around a user and their updates. You can see followers and such but you can’t get easy access to information around a lot of the actions people take there, which makes the job of marketing professionals a bit harder when trying to compile [...]

One of the constant points of conversation (at least it should have been if you think about it for more than a few minutes) about URL shorteners is that you, the person who’s sharing that link on Twitter or your blog or wherever, are putting a lot of faith in that site/service continuing to exist.

Considering the amount of tweeting, retweeting and replying to tweets the @VoceNation crew did at WordCamp SF earlier this month it’s interesting to read this analysis by social networking company Pathable of the amounts and different types of Twitter updates posted at or around the event.

Many people woke up this morning to find their RSS subscriber counts, as reported by FeedBurner, were markedly higher than they were yesterday. For some the numbers doubled but most, I’m willing to speculate, were less than that but still were larger than what they’d seen in previous day-to-day gains.

If you ask anyone who’s keeping their eyes on developments online what the next big development is, odds are the conversation will sooner or later include the term “the real-time web.” If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it’s meant to encompass the perception that conversations on the web are happening even faster than search engine [...]
