Yes, Google+ is just two months old, and yes, they’ve had a great uptake in numbers using the service (currently 25 million and counting). But there’s a growing amount of talk about how it’s not majorly different from what’s currently out there. Additionally, the majority of users fall within limited categories – early adopters, tech… [Continue Reading]
This is a guest post by Niall Harbison. The media landscape is changing right in front of our eyes – we have moved from a world where large organizations controlled the media we consumed to a more democratic time where everybody has a voice.

Klout sucks. Not because of what they’re trying to do, in measuring your online influence (although I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a fan of that approach for a number of reasons).

I’m… [Continue Reading]
