Job Hunt Tips: Don’t Forget to Network

Improved Privacy Needed on Twitter

The Challenge of Social Networks in Business

Most of us should assume that there are people listening, regardless of whether… More »

The big deal the last few days has been Facebook offering users the opportunity to get their own unique “vanity” names for their Facebook profile URL. Granted a short, meaningful URL is a better way to go, but is this really that big of a deal?
I guess I’m just not sure what the big deal is at this point. Yes obviously there’s an advantage for me to have www.facebook.com/jasonlbean instead of http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502473549. But, awhile back I setup www.bnpositive.com/facebook that automatically… More »
Aardvark – Delivering a Bit More in Social Search
I’ve been playing with a new service the last few days called Aardvark. The service combines the idea of social networking with search to create a social search application. This is something I’ve been wishing for for quite some time. There’s a big difference in my opinion in doing a search and considering the results of a million 10yr olds thinking something is cool in Google’s algorithms and getting qualified, expert results instead.
