Michael Phelps is the most discussed olympian, at least according to Nielsen Online who is tracking discussion about Olympic athletes on message boards and blogs. I don’t doubt it. In Korea last week during conversations with colleagues, cabbies and folks in the elevator America + Olympics = Michael Phelps. His distinctively spelled last name was […]
I’ve fallen a bit off the blogging wagon in the last few weeks because of travel for work, a new agency of record agreement and a lot of deliverables, not to mention trying to spend some family time. As a result there is a bunch of news that I’ve thought about over the last few […]
All I can say is that if Scrabulous can get the Facebook crowd going why shouldn’t WuChess be able to do the same for Hip-Hop and Chess.
Play live chess with people from all over the world and get your learn on.

An online kaffeeklatch seems like a slam dunk since most social networkers are […]
Some of data points that I didn’t call out in my earlier posting about Keller Fay Group and Bazaarvoice’s survey of 1300 online reviewers were that
90% write reviews in order to help others make better buying decisions, and

From the Pew Internet & American Life Project’s new report Digital Footprints:
Online identity management and search in the age of transparency.
Just 3% of self-searchers report that they make a regular habit of it [monitoring their online presence] and 22% say they search using their name “every once in a while.” Three-quarters of self-searchers (74%) have […]

Data Junkie has produced a great map of the distribution of social networks around the globe. This map has been fascinating me ever since I saw it a few days ago. They also have a nice chart of the countries that specific social networks are succeeding in. Some notes
