CozmoTv on my MySpace page

Date April 4, 2007

In the latest effort to pimp out my myspace page, I’ve added a cool new gizmo called CozmoTv.  The CozmoTv hub www.comzotv.com is basically where users are able to create their own portable widgets, add channels to these widgets, and embed the resulting code into their portable social network pages (right now it looks like […]

Reddit heads off Digg type controversy

Date April 2, 2007

In a move seemingly to avoid controversy before it happens, Reddit announced that they would be removing links on the front page that they didn’t agree with. It’s always great when a community centered site is at the mercy of those who operate it.
We got tired of having links appear on the front page that we didn’t […]

Twitter Me This

Date March 23, 2007

To quote Yul Brenner “is a puzzlement”.   That’s how I feel about the recent twitter phenomenon. I suppose I understand the concepts, portable presence, letting family and friends know what you’re up to, yada yada yada.  For me, RIGHT NOW, I prefer the old-fashioned IMing, text-messaging, or even the ancient calling on cell-phone methods of […]

The BumRushTheCharts Social Media Experiment - Update

Date March 22, 2007

If the measure of success for this campaign was to achieve the goal of boosting a music artist to the top of Itunes, then the campaign was not successful.  If the goal was to use the power of social media in order to increase awareness and get people to buy records, I think it was […]
