TweetStats: Spy On Other Twitter Users (Calacanis, Scoble, Allis
Last week I wrote about the need for Twitter analytics . This morning I found TweetStats which addresses some of the items I’d like to see.

Socialcast is FriendFeed for your business | Webware : Cool Web
Socialcast on Tuesday is launching a revision of its group communication service. Originally released in 2007, Tuesday's update has a much cleaner and more contemporary interface, and liberally borrows features and ideas from social sites such as Facebook , Twitter , and FriendFeed . I was very impressed by the demo I got last week. Socialcast appears to have a solid, lightweight product for business communication that could help workers (along with customers and clients) keep up to date with each other, and could also reduce in-company e-mail spam.

One of the most tiresome group of people you encounter when you write a weekly column is the “suggesters”. Throughout the week, my inbox receives a steady flow of emails; from friends, from colleagues, but mostly from total strangers – all containing useful links to stories they “assume I’ve seen”.

In addition to the social networking accounts and corporate website you already maintain, Google Buzz is definitely something you should consider if you are serious about reaching your customers.

Senator Doesn’t “Like” Facebook’s Instant Personalization Featur
Facebook once again finds itself at the center of a privacy debate , this time in the wake of the launch of the Open Graph API and so-called “instant personalization” features that leverage your profile information on third-party sites like Yelp and Pandora . On Sunday, Senator Charles Schumer of New York penned a letter to the FTC, urging them to create privacy guidelines for Facebook and other social networking sites. The heart of the issue, in Schumer’s eyes, is that Facebook’s new features put the onus on users to opt-out, as opposed to asking them if they want to opt-in.
