The chat room/forum problem (& an apology to @Technosailor)
I’ve been doing online communities for more than 20 years, starting in 1985 when a friend had a BBS. One thing I’ve noticed over and over again is that chat rooms and forums start out fun and then devolve over time for various reasons. But in 2000 I discovered that blogs had the opposite effect. They got more interesting over time. Why is that? I call it the chat room/forum problem and I think I’v
The king and queen of location-based services
Dennis Crowley, co-founder of Foursquare, and Alexa Andrzejewski, founder of Foodspotting, are the hottest people in location-based services. Foursquare has a million users. Foodspotting has 100,000. Both are growing very quickly and getting lots of attention. I sit down with them at the Big Omaha conference and talk with them about the location-based service business. In the interview Dennis tell
A 16-year-old’s view of Apple’s iPad: iFail
Tonight when I picked up my son in Petaluma we started talking about the Apple iPad and he told me he thought it was a “fail.” This reaction was interesting coming from Patrick (he was first in line in Palo Alto for the iPhone and has been an Apple fan for as long as I remember.)

Twitter to turn on advertising “you will love” (here’s how: SuperTweet)

This is a huge shift in what Twitter is saying publicly. But advertising isn’t something many people love. So, how will Twitter ma
You’re not on Twitter’s suggested user list but you are in good company:
OK, so when Twitter came out with its Suggested User List I went through a bunch of emotions. Hatred. Jealousy. Self loathing. Blaming. Anger. Denial. All that kind of stuff. I have lashed out at it over the last few months here and there. Pissing off Tim O’Reilly and Veronica Belmont and a whole raft of other people. After all, I had more followers than any of my friends did before this list came
RSS=Robert’s Stuff is Saved (will it do the same for CNN’s Twitter account?)
I’ve been taking lots of bashing for not backing up my blog. I deserved that. Or did I? Several people this weekend have been sending me all the posts that have been deleted. How did they do that, I asked a couple. “RSS,” was the answer. In other words, I had been backing up my blog all along without thinking about it. “Huh?” I hurried off to Google Reader, clicked on my folder, and sure enough, t
