Something Wicked This Way Comes
On November 1st 2011, a new social media blog will launch. Set to counter the hyperbole of many social media stories and claims, it aims to be different from your normal social media blog.
With viewpoints from award-winning bloggers, as well as business and media professionals, the new blog aims to question the status quo and make you think. Ready to be entertained? Sign up below to get in from the start.
Update: The site is now live and can be found here.
The title you have really interests me to read the whole post...Thanks anyway!!
My latest conversation: How to tell if you have black mold symptoms
Just looked at this post now looking at the site good title, and anything that can strip away the nonsense gets my vote as you do Danny. I always get odd looks when telling business people my model since school has focused both loose and firmly on being creative and doing this by destroying the established preceptions.I grew up on the back end of Punk and know that has moulded me and society in more ways than most would admit, as did my parents. Looking forwad to mroe :)
Mark Longbottom Hey there mate, thanks for checking it out, and funny how the punk adiom still holds so much sway, eh? Here's to it long continuing.
My latest conversation: Is Klout Doing More Than Using Facebook to Inflate Their Numbers?
Got caught up yesterday just on my way to the site now, oddly yesterday i was censored on a Linked In group and asked not to post generic discussions. My view for that was leaving it open for people to learn from each other’s industries. there i was towing the line, and now feel bullied into submission.
But raring to go as I know I have sense on my side as people talk and here is someone assuming they can control that.
Absolutely right that punk has shaped a lot more than sound and fashion, mainly the fact that people go out and produce something themselves and now they have the technology to go with the ability.
Nearly time to launch myself wholeheartedly on tumblr too, just finding the time to be me, have a good weekend.
Hey, the big Day for Gamers is 11-11-11 when Skyrim releases :) Feed subscription worked fine for me, but I abandoned Feedburner a while ago for Feedblitz because I couldn't resolve the RSS Feed issues regarding sizing.
My latest conversation: CommentLuv Premium Needs Better Spam Filtering

I'm looking out for MW3 and Battlefield 3. :)
Been considering Feedblitz, but the effort now to move away puts me off a little. RE. the sizing, are you on about the images? I find this plugin works well:

My latest conversation: What the Hell?
DannyBrown I use Smush.it to compress images and host them from MaxCDN, but this plugin doesn't look like it sizes images smaller, just makes sure they are aligned and set to your dimensions you have setup in media. Also I am still not getting Livefyre emails to my replies jennalanger I get no emails from any blog with Livefyre now, I never know if anyone is replying to me even though I have it setup so that I should receive an email immediately when someone replies.
I am not into the FPS shooter games as much, more of an RTS and RPG freak myself. Just got Might and Magic Heroes 6 for my Birthday 2 weeks ago.
My latest conversation: Technology and Social Media Trends In October 2011
Dragon BloggerDannyBrown Hey Justin, we are planning a fix for this, but in the mean time to go around this you can uncheck "auto-follow" here: http://www.livefyre.com/profile/edit/notifications...
If you're not following the conversation you will get emails for replies, so it circumvents the current issue that you're having. But don't worry, we'll get that fix out soon!
My latest conversation: Bringing Online Community Offline at the 20SB Summit
Dragon Bloggerjennalanger Gotcha - yeah, that's just for aligning images in an RSS feed. I have a MaxCDN account, need to get back on it (switched off a while back due to caching issues, since resolved).
And cheers for the answers, Jenna. :)
My latest conversation: What the Hell?
Hey jennalanger thanks for the tips and the link you saved me from some searching ;)
My latest conversation: 3D Modeling From A to Z
G'Day Danny,
I dunno why technology and I seem to be so incompatable!
I thought that I should tell you that I entered "my email address below" and received the following message: "this feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled."
Ah; the wonders of modern technology! So simple that only a child can operate it. More discrimination for we Celts to handle
But I'm still having fun....
Regards
Leon
Leon Hey there mate,
Sorry about that - did you try from the box in the email you received re. this post, or from the page itself? Someone emailed me about the same issue, but then sent another email to advise they'd tried subscribing via the box in the email message, as opposed to the one on this page (hope that makes sense!).
Cheers for the heads-up, I'll keep my eyes on it.
My latest conversation: Tell Us What You Want at For Bloggers By Bloggers
DannyBrown I tried both again. The email page contained the same message. This page told me that I was "already subscribed." Please stay tuned for the next enthralling instalment

I'm in - no I'm not - yes I am - no - darnit - what am I supposed to be answering or commenting to here?

danielnewmanUV Just come for the points, mate - seems to work for HowieSPM and ginidietrich ...
My latest conversation: Hello world!
Couldn't you just join the staff at Mashable? Sounds like Mashable. ginidietrich geoffliving
HowieSPMginidietrichgeoffliving Who's to say it's not called Bashable?
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
But I already write such a blog...minus the 'award-winning bloggers, as well as business and media professionals' I mean isn't one Alien enough?
Looking forward to it!
HowieSPM We'll keep the alien media spot just for you, mate.
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
OK Danny, I'm in. I held fast though and dumped someone else off my reader to add this because it's overwhelming, the noise online. I look forward to this one
Mark
markaylward Wow, high praise indeed, mate - thanks for your "trust" in us, we'll try not to break it.
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
The blog will make me think? And you won't spam me if I give you my address? What kind of craziness is this, Danny?????
WordsDoneWrite I know - I'm thinking we should remove the "not spam" directive and send Smurf cards in the mail. :)
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
You so knew this teasing tactic would work like a charm! ;) Looking forward to what this is all about.
Nikki_Little I have no idea what you mean, miss... ;-)
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
I always enjoy reading your post, Danny, and I can hardly wait for this new social media blog thing you're about to luanch. We all stay tuned!! =))
ImagineBeauty_ Thanks, Saach, hope you enjoy. :)
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
Sounds like something I might like. Can't wait! [wink]
danperezfilms Do I know you?
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
DannyBrowndanperezfilms Dan did you know that Danny has not been yet invited into our Social Media Reality Club yet? And this was the only reason he started this new blog? I say we first wait to see the content then we will have a meeting of the Executive Grand PooBah Council to discuss his possible membership, how much his monthly dues will be (if he thinks paying in old Soviet Rubles is acceptable he will be in for a shock), and what song he will have to sing at his acceptance event.
Something useful? Imagine that. I was beginning to think all social media was about was how to become a successful pimp.
dcmckee It is. We'll have a weekly pimpage. ;-)
My latest conversation: For Bloggers By Bloggers Weekly Review
My problem is that pimping for Wisdom is like being the ugliest guy on the corner. I can't even give it away. Is money really the only thing that counts?
dcmckee Sadly, it would appear so, mate. At least in the West...

Starting to look good Danny - a weekly pimpage.
Dude... you know we hate surprises!! How can you do this to ussssss....

Oh Aaron! No hissy fits! It's launching today ;)
You? Writing things that make people think? I'll sign up just to see this one. ;)
Looking forward to what you have in store. Make it worth it. I've been unsubscribing to several of you popular kids lately. SOME of you aren't trying very hard anymore. (Then again, I've heard rumors of "leaked emails" that add a little weight... I laughed pretty hard on that one, btw.)

dannybrown Amazing how I have managed to click on that link twice in 2 days. I appear to be easily swayed.
