Fred,
I'm wondering what you think about a development of both social networking and blogging in a slightly different direction. When I use social networks or even search for blogs I'm sometimes frustrated that a means doesn't exist to categorize bloging and social network profiles by their topic. In other words find all the business blogs, arts & entertainment blogs, science & health blogs etc. out there and put them in some kind of reasonable social network so that I good look at what I'm interested in a find the people who share my passions. In other words, I don't want to use social media to talk to people I already know but to find and communicate with those I don't on topics of interest that we share. Anyway, that's the goal of a new network I'm bootstrapping. Whether or how it can generate revenue remains to be seen, however.

jer979 — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:35:19 -0000

I think the next evolution of Tumblr would be something along the lines of Plaxo Pulse.

I have a personal blog (www.jer979.com) and a blog that is more focused on my professional life. While I post all from my professional life on my personal blog, the same isn't true in reverse obviously.

What I like about Plaxo Pulse is that I can decide I want Fred Wilson to have access to my Tweets, status updates, del.icio.us links, and work blog posts, but you don't care necessarily that my grandmother died or my infant got up at 3am.

I love Tumblr, but think that instead of a 2nd profile, it'd be cool to set up different "channels" and promote them accordingly to the appropriate audience.

thoughts?

Where would user-gen fit onto this map?
(thinking of YouTube, yes, but more so niche sites like 5min (how-to), ExpoTV (product reviews) - other examples?)

Socialogging, certainly blogging, and maybe social networks (as enabling feature of the architecture) seem to be letting people become content producers - publishing tidbits about their days (is this/will this be news?), linking to existing books/movies/music that they like, whatever it is, putting out their own stuff: text/audio/video content.

Seems related to your map, in ways I'm still chewing on. Would be curious to know your thoughts about how.

MySpace vs Orkut — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 04:39:00 -0000

We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/d... Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.

Prehistoric Web Log = Blog

I've thinking about virtualization twitter is a virtualization of dialogue.

Dialogue Talk Log = Slog

Facebook I think is simply a portal by which to constantly expand interests and get to know people with similar interests. Blogs and all are where you research, sort of personally selected public databases of trusted individuals with similar interests. I like the post, and I think you have a strong point, but also I think that one could look at the white board as a sort of theoretical map of one's social relations online. Or is that what it was supposed to be?

I wouldn't count out Jaiku as Google thought it wise to acquire them, why? I think for precisely the reasons you mention, hyperconnected lifestreaming feeds! bobbyd

Re: Social Blogging

derek — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:33:39 -0000

Its lifestreaming, esp when you pull in RSS feeds from your other presences (FB, blog, RTM). When we bring this into the enterprise it will be rolestreaming, again with RSS from wiki changes., calendars, project status changes, office announcements, voice messages.

Again, its more than that. The face that you can IM, SMS, email and leave a voice message as a tweet means its convergence made real.

Good post Fred. I've found it difficult to explain the advantages of Twitter and Tumblr to mainstream folks, but notice that people do take to it once they've been walked through them. One thing that'd be really useful as a long-time Twitter and Tumblr user is the ability to automatically find the Twitter and Tumblr addresses of my contact list (say on Google, Outlook, etc., ) AND to do the same off my blogroll on my blog. Then of course auto-populating them on my Tumblr dashboard would be the icing on the cake.

Thanks.

Jeff

You are right, of course, that FB and MS are very different animals.

But neither of them are optimized for blogging, at least as far as I can
tell.

Fred,
I think it's a misnomer to group Facebook and Myspce -- even though everyone does. Myspace is a blogging with a little bit of social added as a cherry on top. Facebook is an organizational tool that includes, as a fringe benefit, a touch of light social blogging.

Whoops, the term from Ben that I forgot to steal was "Cheap shots, quick thoughts, bon mots"

Re: Social Blogging

Tyler Willis — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 19:21:19 -0000

Andy,

I totally agree with you on the stream of consciousness utility. I think my favorite about these new tools (twitter, tumblr, and I'll also include seesmic as well) are that while it publishes information it's not optimized as a publishing tool.

I contend that if you use Tumblr the way it's meant to be used (to steal a term from Ben Casnocha) for quick thoughts about what's on your mind right now, you will never interest an "audience." You will only interest real friends (people who care about most of your thoughts, not just thoughts in one area).

If I didn't want to see random photos, songs, tweets, etc. from Fred, I wouldn't follow him. I happen to enjoy most of his thoughts so I follow, whereas some other bloggers that I read religiously couldn't get me to listen to anything they said that wasn't about their core topic.

johndodds — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:50:50 -0000

I think you need a name that is shorter than those suggested and comes to define the whole category - the essence of twitter and the others includes things like simplicity, speed and informality. Somebody may use these to come up with the answer but my immdiate thought was breezing - which is simple has connotations of lightness of touch and effort and obviously shooting the breeze. That should get me some equity right?
