 - Using Twitter for Brands or Corporate Identities at Fast Wonder Blog:...
 Aug 19, 8:37am  (3 reviews) internet, social-media, twitter, community-manager http://fastwonderblog.com/2008/08/19/usi...- Dawn Foster, Community Manager for Shizzow and proprietress of Fast Wonder Blog, has written a comprehensive and thoughtful post on using Twitter for good and not evil to promote your business. She provides a how-to on using Yahoo! Pipes to monitor your reputation, shares great links on best practices for using social media to get the word out about your brand, and lists things to avoid doing on Twitter so you don't alienate the very audience you're trying to attract. I've read a lot of posts on using Twitter in business, and this one is the best I've seen.
- The Startup's Journey & Silicon Florist

- Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace. You know why they're thriving (in some cases, despite themselves)? Because the desire for immortality is at the core of being human. Introvert, extrovert, leader, or worker, it doesn't matter who you are or the role you play in life - people need to feel they matter, need to leave their mark on the world. We create blogs, muxtapes, how-to-guides, and upload videos of grandkids playing t-ball. We tell our stories to untold numbers of faceless people with the hope of helping others or releasing our demons. Social media makes it easier than ever to reach thousands with a simple 140 character tweet, and ,when things are life or death or life AND death. Back Fence PDX is a startup that embraces the original social media - storytelling. This guest post, from authors Melissa Lion and Frayn Masters, encourages us to remember that generic, soul-less business plans are a thing of the past. In our transparent world there is no separation between social self and business self. Everyone wants to be immortal by becoming characters in each others stories, and we should embrace this thinking - it's good for business!

Corinna Bath is an academic researcher from Austria who brings up some critical issues about out-dated relationship definitions that may inadvertently make their way into tagging modalities. This article is a very interesting look into the future of the web 3.0 and the influence of the society that builds it.

- Amazon Mechanical Turk - Welcome
- Jul 30, 11:48am (1 review) internet, technology, outsourcing http://www.mturk.com/mturk/
- You may already know about Amazon's Web Services, an online utility that provides ala cart network enhancement services (like database processing and storage)to business. But did you know it also has human outsourcing capacities? Mechanical Turk, Amazon's marketplace for connecting workers with work worldwide, has been around a while. Until recently, however, businesses who wanted to automate their contracted Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) needed programming talent to post work and track progress on projects. Now it's strictly web-based and super easy. I think I'll sign up!

- The Beauty of EAUT (Email Address to URL Translation) & Silicon Florist...

- You've heard that wild and crazy idea, that people should be able to log into any online application with a single identifying credential. It's a hot topic on the Internet and in my local tech community. Even those still not aboard the OpenID Express, because the OpenID identifier is a URL and not an email address, do see the benefit to universal identifier. Well, it now appears the argument is moot! Vidoop (from Portland, OR) has a crazy idea of their own, and they call it EAUT ("yute"). Vidoop's simple decentralized URL translation code can turn any email address into a qualified OpenID identifier, and to prove it they created emailtoid.net. A universal, singular identification method is this much closer! Hurray!

- Blogging is more than a decade old. It's a respected form of building relationships and sharing information. So why are there still people openly hostile about social media's worth? Justin Kirstner does a good job explaining why those who are still grumbling about SM are pushing themselves even further into obsolescence.
