Hi5 Just Got A Little Bigger started by nickgonzalez
As often happens in the valley, people switch jobs. Speaking from experience, people around here have a certain sense of innovation ADD. After you stay at a job for a while, there’s just a depreciating return in experience for every additional month you continue. So, it’s no great surprise that one of the valley’s Jet […]
What’s Up With Top Friends On Facebook? started by nickgonzalez
It looks like Top Friends is completely wiped from the FB app directory. I can’t even access it through the the original app link, nor find it in searches. TechCrunch and InsideFacebook are reporting the same. It looks like this wasn’t planned by Slide either, considering the promo for Top Friends on their site forwards […]
Anti-Lesson: Breaking Embargoes Is Good For Business started by nickgonzalez
Consider this a public service announcement for bloggers and public relations professionals. The A-List bloggers are the A-List for a reason. I hold TechCrunch, Venturebeat, GigaOm, and ReadWriteWeb in that category. They work hard, write well, and respect the relationship between themselves and the companies they cover. I can’t say the same for some of […]
Social Apps Become Social Ads: SocialMedia Launches Social Banners started by nickgonzalez
Advertising in social networks is challenging. Social networks have created highly engaging and sticky sites for their users to meet and play with friends. As a consequence, users are often more interested in each other than the advertisements. Much has been written about Facebook and MySpace’s own difficulty in making ads appealing to their users.
But […]

Why Paying $8 Million To Developers Is Important started by nickgonzalez
As Jason wrote about over on TechCrunch, SocialMedia has paid out over $8 million to developers on social networks. It’s a good sign, and I hope it will get people thinking twice about “childish” or “pointless” applications and realize that at least these earnings are a proxy for the enjoyment people are getting out of […]
Startup2Startup: Are You A First Time Entrepreneur Looking For A Dinner And Good Conversation? started by nickgonzalez
As I’ve noted before, I’m working with Dave McClure on a series of high value meetups targeted at venture capitalists, and novice and experienced entrepreneurs. The events feature a presentation from top talent with moderated discussions at each table. The first event was in Palo Alto and featured a talk on speed by Mike Cassidy. […]
Twitter Downtime Petition Sign of Strength For Twitter started by nickgonzalez
Twitter’s negative press has got to be the envy of every other startup. Every complaint over downtime or downright incompetence just shows how vital the startup is for the services most vocal users.
Now Ustream just posted an online petition to make the service even more transparent than live blogging their recovery. Lets just hope […]

Yahoo’s Missing the Boat on Buzz started by nickgonzalez
In my mind Yahoo is missing a huge opportunity to wield influence over the blogosphere. Yahoo’s front page generates hundreds of thousands of clicks a second. When Buzz was on the front page, it would push some of those clicks off to third party sites that earned their way to the top. Now it sounds […]
Making Conferences That Don’t Suck started by nickgonzalez
Conferences are a great place to do business development or get a high level introduction. This works for essentially two groups of people: hallway networkers, and new comers. Anyone looking to take home some real action items is left out. That’s why I’ve gotten involved in two new conferences: Social Media Business School and Startup2Startup.
Instead […]

Will Facebook Just Complete The Switch To A Portal Site? started by nickgonzalez
Facebook previewed their new design recently, featuring a new feed interface and tabbed pages. It’s all looking strikingly more like a portal start page I imagined before.
The app page has essentially become a version of Netvibes within Facebook. Users can add/remove applications to a separate page in the same way Netvibes adds widgets (in fact […]

Geeks For Charity: Signed XO Laptop Auction started by nickgonzalez
Co-Founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanion is not only hilarious, he’s charitable. For the second time, he’s auctioning off a laptop for charity (link). This time it’s an OLPC XO laptop (last time it was their Reddit laptops for curing cancer).
The XO laptop (pictured) is up for auction on eBay. It expires on May 23rd and […]

Facebook Connecting To The Web In A Really Smart Way started by nickgonzalez
I think Facebook has finally hit the nail on the head with their new form of integration through Facebook Connect. On the SocialMedia blog I called it a “Really Big Deal” because it seems to be the Goldie Locks of their platforms. It’s early, but it looks like the platform will enable the deep integration […]
Owyang On Advancing Your Career started by nickgonzalez
Jeremiah Owyang of Forrester has some interesting career tips. The basics are (with my thoughts inline):
Learn something new every day - read interesting blogs
Often, the fastest way Up is Out - if you don’t have a large stake in a company, remember that you’re the chicken in the breakfast, not the pork (committed vs. affiliated)
Reverse […]

Facebook Platform: Thinning Of The Herd started by nickgonzalez
More of Facebook Platform in headlines yesterday, this time talking about a drop in developer interest. Basically the argument is that less participation in the developer communication’s tools means less interest in the platform.
From my vantage point on the ground, I agree that there is less interest in the platform. However, it’s less interest from […]

Startup Strategy: To Blog Or Not To Blog? started by nickgonzalez
So, I recently finished a workshop at web 2.0 that covered some best practices about blogging (slides). A lot of questions from the audience centered around how businesses or organizations could improve their blogs. We looked at a couple live blogs, including Perket PR, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and The Next Web (from the makers of […]
Suprise, There Are A Lot Of Facebook Apps And Most Aren’t Very Productive started by nickgonzalez
I’m surprised at the interest this little chart caused:
The analysis of the post was spot on, but a lot of the reactions were far off (techmeme). Now the meme is back (albeit on track this time).
I think the platform’s unfairly getting a bad rap with many writers overly criticizing the platform. Boomtown and AlleyInsider criticized […]

Tipping Point: Is MySpace Charging Applications And Users Too Much? started by nickgonzalez
MySpace recently announced that developers can pay for promotion of their applications on MySpace’s platform (Rumored cost of $100,000 a week). I can’t say I’m surprised. MySpace has always been savvy as a media property. There are ads everywhere. Every one of those ads places a visual tax on their users. My question is it […]
On The Road With A Great Book On Startups started by nickgonzalez
I’m on a personal trip to Montana this weekend and packed light. Boy Scouts need 10 essentials to camp; I need about 5 (change of clothes, computer, phone, ID, credit card). But one of the things I’ve packed with me, once again, is a book for the times I can’t read off a computer screen.
The […]

Who Let This Guy Into The Time’s 100? started by nickgonzalez
A little stale news this time in the day, but it’s great to see Mike in the Time’s 100. He’s fittingly in the “Builders & Titans” category. I remember Mike’s original promise that by joining TechCrunch with it’s (now meager) 20,000 subscribers I’d have the opportunity to be at the center of everything happening in […]
