I just pated myself on the back three times. Did I just triple the chances I had to win?

Thanks to Intel for this prize, for @corvida to putting it together on shegeeks.net, and to @drthomasho for tweeting a thank you to @corvida!

How would you use a netbook on the go? I would use a netbook on the go frankly the same way I use my iPhone or iTouch - just more often and more robust things. I pretty much demand myself to be connected 24-7, even on the go. It would also give myself the opportunity to keep my dual computers at home and have the flexibility of not being confined to a stable desk working environment.

*Point of emphasis* The founder of a mobile events and branding startup needs to be exactly that, MOBILE!

Re: Could Tr.im’s Demise Affect Twitter Real Time Search?

Coxymoney — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:22:30 -0000

I would hope that someone would buy up tr.im and others if they dead pooled. We are looking at internet wide FAILED links if URL-shortening services we all go to under. This is a specific industry I wouldn't mind giving one company a monopoly if it was regulated, or something like a $1 a year fee per user.

What do you guys think?

Re: Recession What? Use Social Media to Your Advantage.

Partnering I think is the big push. You have an opportunity to create a network of partners, both locally and nationally business wise. Business teams are no longer limited to timezones or cities. Trust that you are worth doing business with, and those around your social sphere will start to trust it too.

I just don't know if I see the value of either - especially on this level of integration. Annoying is the key term that comes to mind.

Re: Can MySpace Mail Topple Facebook Mail, and Would It Matter?

Coxymoney — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:33:10 -0000

No it wouldn't matter. Myspace is dead to me. Has been for about a year. Of #my100, I'd say 10 are on MySpace, and only 2 have checked in the last month.

Re: Delicious Move Into Real Time Search? Yum.

Coxymoney — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:24:02 -0000

Wow about time is right. It had taken delicious entirely too long to become more social. With that said, I would tend to agree with you that we are seeing a social bookmarking site go in a very interesting direction. My worrisome with all of this is that Facebook adds any of this functionality with FB connect, and your basically dead in the water. Facebook controls the end-user experience: stalking, adding photos, finding friends. This is the key part I came away with:

"Lastly, there are now options to email and tweet bookmarks you come across on Delicious. This of course makes it infinitely easier to share content across the social web, furthering the recommendation capabilities of Delicious from an interactive standpoint. From the looks of it, these added sharing options are designed more specifically for friends that aren’t on Delicious."

However sticking with the #my100 hashtag I use on Twitter, my 100 closets tech-forward friends have never even heard of Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, etc. It's my personal belief that browser based is the only way to get "normal consumer" adoption - which is why Google, Firefox and IE (giggle) are still the gatekeepers in a sense.

Re: Apple Needs This: Mplayit iPhone Arcade

I had not heard of this, shocking I know. This is definitely something to take a serious look at and they have mastered the art of "not letting Apple ruin your idea." Very well done mplayit. I'm giving it a shot right now.

Re: How to Become a Social Media God

Coxymoney — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:34:40 -0000

This is what I would deem "famously" good advice. Going into social media, every "God" has one fan already, *news flash* that's you! The second you become obsessed with other real celebs or pseudo celebs you already are destined for follower status. Become a leader, and show the world what you have to offer. I accepted my Persona a long time ago: Coxymoney

I'm a sharp-tongued straight-shooter to my core.

Re: PR 101: Getting Started

Coxymoney — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:20:23 -0000

Extremely well written and what any entrepreneur new or old should enjoy reading and learning from. Startups are often put into a position of "wing it" or "start it yourself" - that's the name of the game. I really enjoyed the read, and to put bluntly: plan on learning a great deal from this and rehashing some of my personal beliefs, strategies or thoughts about newbie pr for a startup guy. Hell, if you tried to sell me a slap chop at the end of the post, I probably would of bought 3, that's how good the content and authenticity of your story was.

Re: Will Real-Time Change Facebook User Behavior?

Coxymoney — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:45:22 -0000

If Facebook opens up completely, it will lose the luster of what made it Facebook. Closed ecosystem is what the "masses" desire. Twitter will never be mainstream to the point if 175 million users. The average user, previously stated "masses" doesn't have the time of us internet related job related users to stream all day. Facebook limit of 5,000 was ingenious. Everything over 100-500 stop being "friends," and start being "connections." Opening up a stream is not something that the average user, "masses," will be able to understand, let alone participate in. I always use the example of my 100 closets real life friends, to make this point. There is maybe 5 that even know what Twitter is, there is less than 3 that knew the Facebook TOS had even changed, and there is 0 that would answer "Yes" to the question: "Do you have enough time to contribute to a stream and does that interest you?" In and out. Offline, online. You have to be able to differentiate, and you have to accept that technology, that dependence is entirely too tech focused, and is not mainstream. My 100 closets real life friends use Facebook for 5 reasons: 1- add pictures, 2- say happy birthday, 3- add a cute boy / cute girl they met the night before, 4- wall conversation(s) directly related to Gen Y (the AIM generation), 5- because everyone's on it. Wall conversation(s) is inspired by the Text Message Dependency (TMD) of this Web 2.0, Gen Y, AIM generation: it's real time, but it's an arms length away, because it is not face to face, not time sensitive specific and is internet intimate as opposed to previously mentioned face to face intimate.
