Is Twitter Not Multitenant or What?
So here I am, 5 days after the big announcement, and still no new Twitter UI. We just finished a weekend, which would seem to me like a logical time to roll it out to the remainder of the audience. No joy. WTF, over? Is Twitter not multitenant, or what? I sure they look with […]
Trying to fit Foursquare into a round hole
Catching up on some reading this weekend, I consumed this article from AdWeek with interest. It was essentially a litany of agency bitching that location-based service Foursquare didn’t have the tools, manpower or know-how to cater to their needs. “They’re not responsive and extremely hard to work with,” said a digital agency exec who asked […]
Revisiting my Social Media Footprint
A couple of months ago I started to experience a phenomena that many of my social media peers have experienced, which is that I started losing track of tweets that contain links that I wanted to recall. In other words, I had tweeted so much stuff over the years (13k tweets) that I no longer […]

Facebook Working Overtime to Earn People’s Ire
The wife just walked in after having delivered number one son to an appointment to report that Facebook was all over the local radio station. It seems that consumer advocate Leo Laporte is unhappy with them first over privacy (natch), then over making it hard to delete your Facebook page, and finally over deleting content […]
“Gartner is not serious about social media”. Ya Think?
In a recent post analyst watcher Carter Lusher claims: “Gartner is not serious about social media” I see things a little differently and as co-founder of the firm that has arguably done more to innovate industry analyst business and research models than anybody (paving the way for some outstanding new entrants into the field such […]
SpringSource buys Rabbit For World Made of Messages
Its 25 past 6 on a Friday afternoon and very much beer o’clock, but I wanted to note one of the most exciting acquisitions I have seen in a while. After all its not every day that an enterprise player like VMware SpringSource buys a technology that my hacker friends like to use on a […]
Working Out Loud*
By Susan Scrupski on September 13, 2010
It occurred to me recently that my blogging has all but slammed to a screeching halt. Since the Council was bought by Dachis Group, I’ve barely managed to blog at all, and my tweeting has wound down considerably, as well. This is not to say I’ve slowed down with social engagement, in fact, it’s […]
