The problem with Flipboard is that it's an app, not the Web, and I keep hoping someone will show me a really well-designed Web app that shows me that the Web can still win.
From Robert Scoble
My favorite conference so far has been Davos, the World Economic Forum. The people there were really incredible.
If you're in business, and you don't understand how that word of mouth works, you won't be able to take full advantage of it, how to get full adoption by getting that network to talk about you.
Post fast on good news or bad. Someone say something bad about your product? Link to it - before the second or third site does - and answer its claims as best you can.
Never change the URL of your blog. I've done it once, and I lost much of my readership. It took several months to build up the same reader patterns and trust.
Link to your competitors and say nice things about them. Remember, you're part of an industry.
Be the authority on your product/company. You should know more about your product than anyone else alive if you're writing a blog about it.
I see something happening in the world, and I want to share it. It's why, during 9/11, I wrote every few minutes what I saw happening. It's why I write about meeting Steve Wozniak or Bill Gates or Larry Page.
I'm just an early adopter; I subscribe to more things than normal people and have a high level of inbound and a high level of noise.
There's more noise that comes with wearable computing, things that let us take pictures every 30 seconds as we walk around living our lives, and a huge number more photos per person will exist.
