Not Big Into Tag Clouds - But I Do Like Wordle

Category: Web 2.0 | Leave a Comment

[caption id="attachment_41" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Wordle.net"]Wordle.net[/caption]

I’ve never been into sloppy Tag Clouds. They always seem to be organized, but really not usable. They might look cool, but I never use them to actually navigate someones site. Really, that’s too bad as tagging is a great way to actually help your readers know what you’re talking about.

Thanks to Pat Coyle for the heads up about this link. It is a site that creates a cloud or a visual representation based on indexing your site. It isn’t about…

Innovative Approach/Design to Blogging

Category: Web 2.0, flash, substance, twitter | Leave a Comment

This a screen grab of http://www.digiguru.co.za
I’m always on the lookout for new and innovative designs for sites. I think that is one of the many things that always intrigues me about the web. When people combine art with functionality. I’ve seen plenty of sites that make you just go, ummm what? “What does this do?” “Why am I here?” or “How do I get this to do something… oh look something shiny!” I do really enjoy when I find a site that really shines in functionality and…

Social Design Blog bokardo.com

Category: Web 2.0, iamatrailblazersfan.com, portland trail blazers, social networking, social networks, sports marketing | Leave a Comment

Bokardo.com I try to keep the number of RSS Feeds that I subscribe to a minimum. I have read about people like Robert Scoble that read some insane number of RSS Feeds a day, I just don’t have time. I find that if don’t read the RSS feed in over a month, I dump it. I look it almost like subscribing to someone’s email list. If I haven’t read their email in awhile, I should really unsubscribe… unless it is IMPOSSIBLE to unsubscribe (I’m looking in your direction eHarmony… subscribed for purely…

Mobile Social Networking?

Category: Web 2.0, facebook, iamatrailblazersfan.com, portland trail blazers, social networking, social networks | 4 Comments

Great post on TechCrunch today talking about the future of social networking (I Saw The Future Of Social Networking The Other Day)

Mike Arrington talks about a company that he has seen that could be diving into waters that Facebook and MySpace have yet to fully embrace, Mobile Social Networking. Yes, there are mobile version of both of these sites, but neither harness the power of your mobile phone.

The mobile phone is an amazing device that continues to get crazy cooler as the months go by….

Searchfest (Passion) - SXSW (Over-reaction)

Category: Web 2.0, facebook, social networking, social networks | 1 Comment

Two things stood out for me today…

1) Passion - I was on a panel today with Paul Colligan at Searchfest 2008, and he has passion for what he does. He has several podcasts and is a person neck deep in social media/web 2.0. If you ever get a chance to pick his brain about all things in the Web 2.0 space, do it. I will blog tomorrow about the presentation.

2) Over-reaction. Wow, there was a TON of buzz on Techmeme and blogs throughout the internet about the SWSX interview of Mark Zuckerberg (founder/CEO of Facebook)…

Conferences, conferences, conferences

Category: SEMpdx, Web 2.0, social networking, social networks, speaking, sports marketing, twitter | 1 Comment

MouthOhhhh, the web. It brings us all together. We talk to each other on email, IM, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace… and probably something crazy that I haven’t heard of. Buuuuuut… people who like the web, and who talk about the web like to go to conferences. Probably to meet others because they bore their everyday friends talking about “social graphs” and “api’s”, or so I’ve been told.

So, I’m in San Diego at PacNET, our ticketing provider’s (Paciolan) annual conference. I’ll be presenting about Web…

Really Johnny, all over the place…

Category: Web 2.0, brandon roy, flash, microsite, oden vs durant, substance, twitter | Leave a Comment

This post is all over the place, so much I’m redoing this first sentence, bear with me as I have brain diarrhea in the next couple of paragraphs… I’ll work on being more succinct later.

Things are moving at a fast pace at the Portland Trail Blazers. Brandon won Rookie of the Year, we win the lottery, we launch a microsite, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant come into town this week. Hectic.

I’ve heard about Twitter for some time, but the guys at Substance who did the…
