Virb - Like Myspace for creatives, only not shitty
Virb is a social network aimed at people who "create things".
Pownce - like a useful Twitter, only less fun
Pownce allows microblogging and "friending" in a similar fashion to Twitter - well really, it's like Tumblr COMBINED with Twitter - and throw in file sharing.
Inevitable Downfall of Facebook
So some day very soon people will begin asking - what am I doing with my time on Facebook (or Myspace, Bebo, and Friendster?)
Kluster - compelled to act
Kluster is like a cross between social networking, think-tanks, and focus groups. But that really doesn’t do justice to the concept of Kluster because unlike social networks the goal isn’t broadcasting your life or connecting with cool dudes or hot chicks and racking up long friends lists. Kluster is about creation.

04 March 2008
I was trying to email a file to a co-worker the other day, but email was wonky and the file wouldn’t send. So what did I do? I sent it via Pownce.

My predictions were…predictable, and I chose sites like Pownce, Twitter, Last.FM, EMusic, Wordpress, Google Adwords and others. I will release a full list after the polls are closed, not to inadvertently change the outcome with my influence. [...]

29 March 2008
If you read the postings on the interwebs, it can get confusing when trying to draw a hard line around web 2.0 and social media. The two seem intrinsically linked, which I think is a problem.

RiverWired Gets the Green Light with $1.5M in Funding
18 March 2008
Look - I’m all over the green movement. I gave up bottled water. I bring reusable cloth bags to the grocery store. I bought a fuel-efficient vehicle and I turn off the lights before I leave a room. And like most good lil’ greenies, I’m always looking for easy ways to make my lifestyle even [...]

LinkedIn loves it some iPhone
29 March 2008
LinkedIn has launched a new service that I’m quite excited about. LinkedIn Mobile. Now mobile phone users can send messages to LinkedIn connections, see status updates from your network, and browse your connections (and their connections.) They’ve built for all the losers with WAP based mobile phones (sorry, but it’s true) and a beautiful interface [...]
