Under the Radar Conference Preview: MoFuse

David Lidsky — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 01:02:18 -0500

When I go online with my Verizon phone, it's kind of slim pickings if I limit myself to Verizon's preset offerings. I have added bookmarks for Google's tools, Facebook, even OpenTable and enjoy them. Although I can access some of my favorite blogs through Google Reader on the phone, it's a flat experience and it doesn't do a lot for the blogger.

Lise Durling — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:55:13 -0500

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada with my son and excited about my future as a visual artist and motivational speaker. My vocational experiences include working for various government departments as an Employment and Business Services Coordinator. I often worked with clients who were high risk or from a diverse group. I used creative ways to assess my client skills to avoid intimidating them and to gain their trust. Once we developed a partnership, I would try to find innovative ways to either introduce self-employment or long-term employment options. It was an exciting part of my life.

How to Get Started with Social Media

Rich Brooks — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:43:57 -0400

The gym I belong to has an inspirational message posted that changes weekly. Today there was a quote from Barbara Hall from her book A Summons to New Orleans that ended:

Look. Listen. Choose. Act.

And I thought, "that's the perfect way to explain how to get started with social media."

How to Launch a Start-Up in Today’s Environment

Jay Bhatti — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:55:34 -0400

With the financial meltdown yet to be resolved, a slowing economy and VCs backing away from Web 2.0 start-ups, many people assume that now is the worst time to launch a start-up. Yet, now is precisely the best time to launch a tech start-up. Historically some of the most successful companies have started during times of financial uncertainty. Given that IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Google were all started during economic downturn, we may see the next big thing emerge.

Microsoft and Yahoo Losing Search in a BIG Way

Jay Bhatti — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:01:47 -0400

The latest search numbers were recently released and it appears that for the month of August once again Microsoft and Yahoo lost market share to Google. What’s worse is that not only are they losing market share in a growing market, but they are actually losing the number of raw searches done on their properties.

Welcome to Fast Company Buzz - Building the Hive

Francisco Dao — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:56:34 -0400

Welcome to the launch of Fast Company Buzz where you’ll find out what’s new, what’s hot, who’s doing what, and what’s working in the tech industry. Up until now, industry blogs have fallen into three categories: 1. Vanity blogs that were little more than desperate pleas for attention filled with mindless notes about the author’s life. 2. Geek blogs that focused on overly technical matters like the launch of somebody’s new network architecture, and 3. Mainstream news blogs that primarily repeated technology news from CNN.

You Might Be A Marketing Blogger If…

DJ Francis — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:03:52 -0400

I find that marketers and bloggers are usually funny people and I was thinking about all of the ways we’re just a tad different than other folks.

So, without any delay, and in a Jeff Foxworthy-esque voice, I present: “You might be a marketing blogger if…”
