I love Sphere!
Sphere helps me keep the conversation going after I have written a post, it rocks.

I posted earlier in the day about Robert Scoble’s discussion on what he refers to as Social Graphs, and how Facebook, Techmeme and Mahalo can overcome Google in four years.

An Algorithm for a Social Fabric

August 27, 2007 2 comments

I just got done watching Robert Scoble’s talk on Social Graph Based Search. While I find it very compelling, there are a few points that I take issue with. Before I get into that, I want to first note the overwhelming sense of “eventness” or Sobytiinost I felt while when watching this video. The influx [...]

The purchase of YouTube by Google for 1.65 billion dollars had some asking whether or not this deal was actually brokered by Dr. Evil.

Time Warner Cable has made an interesting move in the battle against ad-skipping. A product called Look Back allows consumers to view any program that they missed during the day the ability to watch it until midnight. The fast forward feature will be shut off.

Okay, I do realize that the headline is similar to MediaPost’s this morning, but what else can this post be titled?
MediaVest has made a very interesting announcement. Terrestrial broadcast radio will no longer be referred to as radio; rather it will be referred to as audio.
I realize that, to some, this seems to [...]
