The pay wall experiment

26 May 2010

Loren Feldman, a master of video blogging and social media, has recently put a pay wall on his site. I have bought a subscription, because the man is really pragmatic and knows what he is talking about. The idea behind it is great: produce content people want to pay for. You don’t have to be […]

No buzz about Buzz

4 April 2010

TechCrunch noticed the other day that Google Buzz is kind of dead. Google botched this in a big way. Why and how? First of all, shoving it on our throats. Big mistake.

Too much noise

23 November 2008

I have an account on LinkedIn. I find it useful into tracking my old colleagues and friends. Two days ago I got one on facebook, because it said I cannot access a user profile if I didn’t have an account. I signed up and…I still couldn’t see the profile, because I need to be friends […]
