POPSThe sad truth about social media (via @markwschaefer) I could not agree more with this and it infuriates me. I so badly want Amplify to break without relying on the influence of the so-called 'gang of 2,000' (see this clip about that http://bit.ly/BBKjK). i am hopeful and determined to create a social media experience where the thoughts, opinions, perspectives and ideas of ordinary, honest and bold people rule the day...not the 'you scratch my back - i'll scratch yours" crowd that seems to speak the loudest these days.

POPSProphet Talking at the Speed of Business
I'm checking out what people shared about their experience Monday evening at the Social Media Club, Silicon Valley hosted at Intel headquarters. I'll write up another post this week when I have a little more time to reflect. But first, this... Someone in Facebook described Jeremiah Owyang, strolling up to the podium with think black book in this hand....he looked like a prophet. Aptly put, any which way you think about it...he's a prophet sparing time, insights, always a helping hand with a finger pointing forward, move ahead, avante! Jeremiah let's fly brimstone, bleeding edge wisdom and can zero in on specifics backed by examples or data. Sometimes both. Here's another helpful list to train our eyes on. Enterprises might watch for these potential ills as more marketers speed to add new tools that help companies and people connect with clients and audiences. Here's a list, followed by Jeremiah's business "fix." * Disparate user experiences to customers and employees

POPSMarketing blogger's reaction to my question to Wal-Mart I attended a Social Media Club event yesterday and participated in a panel discussion with Steve Restivo, Wal-Mart’s Director of Corporate affairs for the northeast, Dan Lyons, senior editor at Forbes, and Forrester’s Josh Bernoff. I asked Steve about the lack of commenting capabilities in the Wal-Mart blog and prefaced my question with a basic principal of social media-two-way communication and community building. Below is John Cass's thoughts about my question and my response to his post.

POPSChannel your way through the web This looks like a great way to build a changing channel of content. My mind wonders of the applications, such as training with a weekly lesson, a fan club or simply an Internet TV-style channel for broadcasting whatever you want.
