Clipping the Web- Is Catching on!

clipper's remarks: Watch out clippers. Mainstream is using our word!

Finally, we’re seeing that people are no longer “surfing” the web. They’re “clipping” it. People are using start pages and personal organizers to filter out what they want to keep top-of-mind. Because of this, understanding the value of widgets and branded utilities is critical to success. Brands can no longer rely on people coming to their websites. They now need to think about providing modules that people can add to their personal pages whether it be iGoogle, Facebook, a blog, Pageflakes, Netvibes, etc.

Kids bad Googlers

clipper's remarks: Interesting that kids are having a hard time with keyword searching.

It's true that young people prefer interactive systems to passive ones and that they are generally competent with technology, but it's not true that students today are "expert searchers." In fact, the report calls this "a dangerous myth." Knowing how to use Facebook doesn't make one an Internet search god, and the report concludes that a literature review shows no movement (either good or bad) in young people's information skills over the last several decades. Choosing good search terms is a special problem for younger users.

I invented Facebook

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 19:47:09 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: iinventedfacebook.com is a great idea. Its going to be interesting (and entertaining) to read through peoples explanations of how THEY thought of Facebook first.

But, I mean come on.... everyone knows I, Julia Roy, invented Facebook. Duh! I just don't take credit because I created Facebook FOR THE PEOPLE and not for fame. Yes, I know, it's very humble of me.

Clip Source: bub.blicio.us

OK, so as each week passes we learn of someone else who alleges that they invented Facebook. And if you attend enough Web 2.0 parties and events, you’ll find no less than 20 other entrepreneurs who claim to have thought of the idea as well.

we decided that someone needs to get to the bottom of this ordeal and find out who really invented Facebook.com.

We’re going to introduce IinventedFacebook.com (thanks Zoli for the idea) which will publish individual accounts of how they invented the popular social network and let you be the judge of who really is behind the idea.

I will be including my account for when I came up with the idea and was overheard talking about it by a friend of a girlfriend who was dating someone who was the cousin of the person who went to class with Mark Zuckerberg - I’m still very upset.

Tell us your story.

The Future: A Facebook "Pay Per News Feed Click"?!

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 22:46:03 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: First of all, if you haven't read this post yet do so now. Great insight into the future of monetizing Facebook and the Facebook developers and marketers dilemma.

To be honest I had never thought that deeply about Facebook News Feed Optimization, I actually didn't even know that Facebook has their own algorithms, just like Google, which determines what feeds are displayed on our home page. Looking back on my news feed click behavior I realize I click more on the unique applications that my friends are using than on my friends themselves. This is probably why I get more and more "applications" updates in my news feed.

Clip Source: www.insidefacebook.com

Facebook owns your most important marketing channels: the News Feed, Notifications, and Messages. And marketers and application developers have analagous marketing options with Facebook as with Google on the open web:

NFO (News Feed Optimization) - convincing Facebook to display the Feed items that your application publishes in your users’ friends’ News Feeds.

it’s probably only a matter of time before the same type of people who created PayPerPost set up a new type of shop to game Facebook: in a world where individual behavior matters most, I’m sure you will soon be able to buy not only application distribution, but also News Feed clicks, hoping that Facebook will believe that your feed items really are that interesting.

social networking trumps sex

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:52:10 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: I can see how this is true. The trend is toward building relationships online more than staring at static "sex" sites. Why not go on Facebook and find someone with a hot profile picture and reach out to them, send them a message and get a dialog going. Much more exciting than looking at porn.

Bob Caswell at ~~Computers.net~~ TechConsumer wrote of The Economist's report on the downward shift for sex as the draw of social networking continues to grow.

USA Today Social Network Website

Clip Source: www.micropersuasion.com

USA Today is unveiling a massive overhaul of their web site that adds a number of great features. The notable additions include: reader comments on every story, the ability to create a profile page that can be shared with others, citizen journalist photos, story tagging and digg-like recommendation buttons.

This is exactly the direction USA Today needs to follow. However, it doesn't go quite far enough. In addition to building these features, the media need to bridge their communities to the ones where we already spend our time. RSS, widgets and embedded content would help here. For example, USA Today should let us add our blog, Twitter or Facebook feeds or even embedded YouTube vids to our profile pages.

Connecting communities is so easy today with web services and it would go a long way toward making the their site - or any site for that matter - stronger. Hopefully we'll see this happen soon.

Social Network for Women #1

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:22:47 GMT

Clip Source: venturebeat.com

We finally “get” Glam, the network of Web sites for women’s fashion and lifestyle.

Glam enters 2007 with impressive momentum: Hip social networking company, Facebook, was No. 1 fastest-growing site in 2006 — until December — when Glam doubled its uniques in a single month and blew past Facebook at the last minute. Glam now has more than 8 million U.S. unique visitors per month. Glam overtakes Disney’s women network and CondeNast’s network, jumping to second largest women’s web property, behind only iVillage. (See data below.) Glam has more than 16 million global visitors, Arora says.

Blogthings: Embed Quizes into MySpace profiles

Blogthings

The fifth site in this category isn’t really about MySpace layouts at all - instead, Blogthings provides quizzes to embed in your MySpace page. These include “What’s Your Vampire Name?”, “What Superhero Are You?” and “Are You Bipolar?”. The page owner answers these questions then posts the results to his MySpace page - the idea is that this gives you some insight into the user’s personality.

Additionally, Blogthings generates custom html code for LiveJournal, Xanga, Facebook, MSN Spaces (aka Windows Live Spaces) and forums. Another important point is that Blogthings offers multiple ways for users to be notified of new stuff. Members can subscribe in MyYahoo, Xanga, MyAOL and LiveJournal. A basic RSS feed is also offered, but I doubt it sees much usage.

Friendster partners with Google

Clip Source: mashable.com

Friendster CEO Kent Lindstrom revealed today that the social network is going to partner with Google - the search giant will power Friendster’s search and text ads, just as it does on MySpace. The deal is to last two years and financials weren’t disclosed. But since Friendster reports less than 1 million monthly unique visitors, the agreement won’t be on the same scale as the $900 million Google-MySpace deal.

The hookup is another letdown for Yahoo, which currently powers Friendster search. It also seems to extend Google’s dominance of social networking ads: with Google powering the advertising and search on MySpace, Friendster and (eventually) YouTube, there can’t be many major networks left to hook up with. Facebook already struck a deal with Microsoft, so perhaps Google will set its sights on Bebo next?

del.icio.us launch Tagometer widget

Del.icio.us Launches Tagometer Widget - Bookmark This Post!

December 20, 2006

Pete Cashmore

Posting social bookmarking links on blog posts and news stories has become the norm these days - the New York Times even announced this month that they’re adding del.icio.us, Digg and Facebook Share buttons to their articles. In fact, Yahoo even employs people to make sure that top publications have branded del.icio.us links on their article pages (we know because they contacted Mashable in the past).

So it’s no surprise that del.icio.us is launching a new website widget today, taking blogger self-promotion to a whole new level. “Tagometer”, as it’s being called, provides a button for readers to bookmark a website, tags for that website and a tally of the number of people who have bookmarked the site. The badge is created using javascript, so it won’t work on social networks like MySpace. It seems the Tagometer widget is mainly designed for use in your blog sidebar - this allows readers to easily bookmark your site, and for newcomers to see how popular your blog is. That said, you can also use it on individual posts. One slight issue is that the widget automatically detects the page it’s on - if you’re viewing this on the Mashable homepage, it’ll bookmark Mashable. If you’re on the individual post page, meanwhile, it’ll bookmark the post itself.

If you’re a Feedburner user, also note that Feedburner has released a new FeedFlare unit today that incorporates this detailed data.
