There is a very useful collaborated document being developed for users to get started with Google Plus. A Collaborative Document: (or how 120+ people wrote a book at the same time) is a shared file on Google docs and is being written/edited/modified while I am writing this. So, when I was making a list of Google Chrome Extensions for Chrome, 1. I could make it easily 2. I could get you the best because these were picked by a large number of Google Plus users, most of them early adopters. http://chromestory.com/2011/07/top-ten-10-chrome-extensions-for-google/

The Great List Of Chrome Extensions For Google Plus

http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2011/06/18/social-medias-role-in-company-crisis-management/ As more and more case studies and ‘how not to do’s’ emerge, more companies are beginning to realise the importance of social media in a crisis. I recently spoke at a seminar on crisis communications, and every single presenter, whether from a traditional background, B2C brand, state body, ended by stating the importance of using social media when your company faces a crisis. It’s certainly encouraging that so many practitioners are advocating the use of social media beforehand, instead of waiting to figure it out when the crisis hits, but there still seems to be confusion over how you can effectively use social media tools and platforms to effectively communicate, or control a crisis. Based on first hand experience and an awareness of other case studies in this space, I wanted to provide some best practice guidelines for using social media in a crisis.

http://gigaom.com/2011/06/16/the-birth-of-the-%e2%80%98alive-web%e2%80%99/ For the past year I’ve been thinking deeply about this concept as it relates to Namesake and the consumer Internet as a whole. I believe we’re at the beginning of an exciting shift in how we experience and socialize around content. So what’s changed?

The birth of the ‘Alive Web’ — Tech News and Analysis

For the 2010 election, we built a continuously updated election guide that let readers explore data related to each of the 509 congressional and gubernatorial races. After adding candidate information, race ratings, polls, election forecasts, campaign finance numbers and historical election results, we wanted a way for our political reporters to contribute live updates. We imagined them writing short news items and finding links to related stories from The New York Times and other sources, so that each page would reflect the most recent developments in that contest.

http://socialmediatoday.com/ginidietrich/296495/peer-index-vs-klout I’ve just learned about a new influence measurement tool called Peer Index . It is attempting to “help you discover the authorities and opinion formers on a given topic.” It’s pretty interesting because it allows you to search by topic, by person, by region, and by sources (i.e. blogs, social, etc.). Say, for instance, I want to know who the authority is on tree frogs in Singapore, I can search that term and find 10 people who might fit my needs. I take a look at Tree Frog Treks , because they have the highest peer index, to see if they have anything that might behoove my client who sells tree frog food.

Un probabile futuro Il futuro sarà senza Google, abbiamo scritto tempo fa, senza voler sembrare apocalittici. La Grande G in realtà non è destinata a scomparire ma di certo sarà indebolita dalla concorrenza (Apple, Facebook su tutte) e dal nuovo web social. http://gootenberg.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/linevitabile-sconfitta-di-google-contro-facebook/

Perhaps you won't believe me since it's my job to spread the gospel of curation as the Chief Evangelist of Pearltrees, but I think curation is here to stay. These are the reasons why I believe this is the case. This year there has been a tremendous amount of buzz in Silicon Valley about curation. Magnify.net CEO Steven Rosenbaum recently published a book, Curation Nation that has sparked a tremendous amount of conversation on the topic. Likewise a post by Brian Solis has been retweeted thousands of times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/opinion/29franzen.html?pagewanted=all I was, in short, infatuated with my new device. I’d been similarly infatuated with my old device, of course; but over the years the bloom had faded from our relationship. I’d developed trust issues with my Pearl, accountability issues, compatibility issues and even, toward the end, some doubts about my Pearl’s very sanity, until I’d finally had to admit to myself that I’d outgrown the relationship.

Da social network a social media. Può l'evoluzione di Twitter e la rilevanza che questo ha assunto nell'ecosistema internazionale dei media essere un modello di crescita anche per Facebook? Il punto di forza di Facebook, la rete privata di amici con cui condividere contenuti personali, è il punto di debolezza che impedisce oggi al social network di affermarsi pienamente come canale di informazione. Certo, la massa di utenti raggiunta in paesi come l'Italia lo rende appetibile all'occhio dei media - il Fatto quotidiano vanta il primato del giornale europeo con il maggior numero di fan, pari a circa mezzo milione - ma il dibattito pubblico che si sviluppa al suo interno è frammentato e difficilmente misurabile nel suo impatto a causa dei diversi livelli di privacy impostati dagli utenti sui contenuti condivisi.

5 Changes That Could Make Lists Twitter’s Most Powerful Feature - AllTwitter

Lists have the potential to become one of the most powerful aspects of Twitter – but they’re just that: potential. As they are right now, Twitter lists are a weak, watered-down version of possibly the most effective way for people to organize their Twitter experience. Here are 5 things I’d like to see added to Twitter lists which would make them infinitely more useful. Twitter lists today Right now, I look at Twitter lists about 80% of the time, and my home timeline the other 20% of the time when I’m browsing for information on Twitter. Why is this? http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/5-changes-that-could-make-lists-twitters-most-powerful-feature_b7971

Goodbye social media... welcome back mass-media | ZDNet

There have been quite a few studies lately on what people Tweet and post on Facebook, and the large number of links that people share. Invariably, the links that most people share belong to large media organizations — what used to be called mass-media. For example, Nate Silver recently analyzed links to news sources and found that of the top 30 news sources, nearly all were traditional large news sites such as AP or New York Times, only TMZ and Politico were new. A recent Yahoo! Research report found just 20,000 elite Twitter users produce 50% of Tweets (Twitter has 150 m users).
Should CEOs, VPs, managers and other high-powered, super-busy corporate folk use Twitter? Absolutely. In fact, I’d say it’s essential. We understand that you’re busy.

Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey and the Ideas that Sparked a Revolution Brian Solis

Roma - Sono giorni difficili per la reputazione di Twitter. Il sistema di cinguettii californiano, che continua ad essere un grande successo specialmente negli Stati Uniti e viene continuamente citato come baluardo informativo nelle emergenze del pianeta (qualche volta a ragione, qualche volta no), dichiara ormai qualcosa come 175 milioni di utenti e, nella vulgata riassuntiva di molta stampa, è spesso paragonato a Facebook quanto a successo, diffusione e possibilità future. Tuttavia non serve un esperto di social network per comprendere come Facebook sia chiaramente definibile come un luogo sociale di rete ampio e variegato, mentre Twitter fatichi ad allontanarsi da quella idea di semplice colonna cronologica informativa in eterno aggiornamento così come è sempre stato fin dagli esordi nel 2006.
