  • Why the Bitcoin Revolution Will be Bigger than the Internet

    The social media revolution is mostly over. The mayor players have matured, innovation is very stagnant in this area and most social networking ideas are “pretty much out there”. With the exception of a civic network all the potentially mainstream social networking innovations have been created. The next revolution is something far greater in scope and potential gains for humanity. A large group of programmers, activists, venture capitalists, investors and technical leaders are now seeking…

  • Clarity as the Quintessential Competitive Advantage

    Shakespeare said that “brevity is the soul of wit” to which we might add that “clarity is the soul of relevance”. Clarity is the quintessential competitive advantage, a powerful communication tool that can amplify your marketing message, make the user experience more delightful while boosting revenues seamlessly.

  • The Case for a Global Civic Network

    At this point a sizable percentage of the world’s population is familiar with social networks. After the uprising of social networks our lives have become a little bit easier as we now enjoy greater connectivity and have an easier time networking with the people we care about. However that is both the curse and blessing of social networks: they keep us confined to our natural and social silos. When Twitter came out, one of my…

  • The New Myspace is a Clear Winner

    The new myspace looks and feels like a premium product. I just configured my account a couple of hours ago and so far the experience has been great. A clean and stylish design goes a long way and the myspace product team placed a high bet on a very “classy” design that makes you feel as drifting in a magazine. The music selection is superb (for me it has been better than Spotify so far).…

  • Connected But Lonely?

    This is a guest post and TED talk about social change in the social network era. Just a moment ago, my daughter Rebecca texted me for good luck. Her text said, “Mom, you will rock.” I love this. Getting that text was like getting a hug. And so there you have it. I embody the central paradox. I’m a woman who loves getting texts who’s going to tell you that too many of them can…

  • Facebook 2.0 – The New Timeline

    Facebook Timeline = Facebook 2.0 The changes in Facebook ratify that on the Internet, it’s all about momentum, and Zuckerberg has plenty of that. How can the Internet’s second biggest juggernaut make such impressive changes to it’s core business and have no one notice them?

    The faboulous Gina Bianchini (social media’s wonder woman and ning co-founder) has launched a new project called Mightybell.

The difference between Mightybell and making an online video, writing a blog post, or answering a question on a Q&A site is that on Mightybell, when you layout your best plan for, say, a four day survival camping trip to…
