If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Twitter over the past couple of years, it’s that people either love it or hate it. Few fall under the category of indifference when their friends or family pull out their smartphones and start typing out 140 characters or less.

The bigger they are the harder they fall. Or at least in Facebook’s case, the foibles get more publicity. Whether it’s ill-thought words on the part of Mark Zuckerberg himself, failed deals or lawsuits, Facebook has had it’s share of PR fiascoes. This graphic shows them in greater detail.

The announcement that Reddit has earned its independence from Conde Naste and will operate as a separate corporation owned by Advance Publications is a victory for many. It’s a victory… Continue reading Why Reddit Wins The Internet Today
There is something super-competitive about the automotive industry. It’s one that, for the longest time, had avoided the internet even when it was clear that it was here to stay. Back in the late 90s, many dealers didn’t even have a website. Today, most of their leads and sales come as a result of their websites.
It is for this reason that I thought it amazing that PCG and TK Carsites were the only two representatives for the term “Automotive SEO” on Google. Is the rest of the industry really that far behind, or are these two companies just dominant?
We’ll see. For now, it’s clear that the competition has a ways to go.
As AOL tries to reinvent their company and reclaim some of the glory they held in the days of dial-up, setbacks like this are more damaging than they are for companies on the rise.
The Postmaster subdomain was hacked Saturday and remained that way for 2-4 hours according to Reddit. The html placed after the hack was created in Microsoft Word, adding insult to injury and begging the question, “Does AOL not take security seriously, or are they just incompetent?”
Either way, it doesn’t look good.
For the last two years, I’ve been a closet Reddit fanatic. Some would say I’m not technically in the closet because I spend a good amount of time there every single day (EVERY single day) and I have posted hundreds of articles to the site. The only thing I don’t do often is comment. That’s simply too dangerous.
When you talk tech companies, the first place that comes to mind is Silicon Valley in San Francisco. It is the home of many of the giants, including Oracle, Google, and Facebook. New York City, aka Silicon Alley, is making moves as the new place to be as Wall Street and big money start taking note and investing into new and risky tech firms.
They’re the two places to be, but is it really worth it? In a world where transactions, meetings, and deals can be made instantly over the Internet, how important is it to be physically in one of the two centers of American technology?

What two social networks founded in 2004 have registered users numbering 9-digits, have been profitable for 3 years, are based in Silicon Valley, and focus on connecting people through status updates and social gaming? If you’re reading this, you probably have an account on one of them. The other one has been flying under the radar (and right under our noses) for years.
Tagged.com has always held a parallel course with Facebook. They’ve simply been on a slightly different road ever since it became apparent they would not be able to beat Mark Zuckerberg’s mammoth social network. Unlike MySpace, Hi5, Friendster, and others that waited too long to pull away from the futile effort of taking on Facebook head-to-head, Tagged saw into its own future and changed paths early enough to carve its own path.
