I would disagree with what you're saying about big companies stepping all over every one to get where they're going. You should put more evidence next to such statements. In reality, business is not about being friends--it's about who offers more for what. It's also about being honest. I would venture to say that the best companies get to where they are by being honest, and people can feel and see that. I also think that winey people often complain about how cut-throat business is when they didn't get a piece of the pie because of their friendship or something stupid like that. Business is business and people get offended really easily about things they have no legal rights to.

I do believe that it is important to do whatever it is you do with an organic humanness too it. For instance, if there is an idea that someone told you without an NDA that somehow works its way into your projects as a small component, try to include them and figure it out. Ultimately such forthrightness creates goodwill. But ultimately, that company should by no means miss out on a good feature that kind of overlaps with a feature that an employee of that company learned from another non-employee and then mentioned in a board-room while brainstorming.

Yes, companies, de-humanize things a little bit. And pass the buck situations often happen. But at the same time, while sticking with this stolen idea scenario, you can't get all winey when you're just throwing ideas around in the open. It's kinda like: don't give me a gift or do me a favor with expectations that I return the favor--that's not what a gift is

Why don't they incorporate more two-way discussion stuff like the twitter @ comments. She should at least incorporate Ping.fm/hellotxt.com type features. I would love to see such "WRite Once, Read Everywhere" functionality for everything they feed into it: Videos like TubeMogul.com, etc.

Just a little side-note: one great way to market yourself is to sign-up once a week on a Web 2.0 social network or service that has this feature, and essentially invite everyone. It's a little spammy, but every time I do this (i.e. on Linkedin, Facebook, now Flickr, etc), I get an influx of traffic--it almost makes me wanna buy an email database of tech people lol (hey, u gotta do whatchu gotta do).

Corvida. I've seen you rising in the ranks lately. And truly respect what you're doing. It looks like your site needs some serious branding and design though. Let's talk. Maybe we can help each other out. I design/brand you with my team. You promote for me and my clients.

Re: 1 Simple Tip To Decide Who To Follow On Twitter

Twitter didn't even make sense to me until the Replies tab. It just seemed like an endless feed of--honestly--other people's boring lives (even when I added all the Tech gods). My biggest tip is just to reply to people and ask them questions. ya dig. Straightup, just ask lots of relevant questions. It's easy if you're in the Web 2.0 space since we're all fanatics and just gravitate towards this stuff. Check out an article CMO did on why reaching Mavens and Taste-Makers like Web 2.0 Junkies is important:

Re: FriendFeed API Apps Are Here

It would also be cool if I could copy and paste a line of Javascript that shows my Friend Feed on to my own site like my cocomment feed: http://faceyspacey.com/about . It would also be cool if commenting could happen in this external rendition of my Friend Feed. It would be even cooler if users could login and signup for a Friend Feed account right on my site and start commenting in me feed on my site right away without going back to Friend Feed itself!!! Combine all that with "write once, read everywhere" type features like hellotxt.com does for status updates, and you got yourself a super publishing machine! I sure hope that Friend Feed does include more two-way interactivity like this. Twitter is cool, but only a 20th of the puzzle.
