Awesome short video (~4 minutes) on the current power of social media.

My favorite part is the line "We no longer search for news, news finds us."

A new Facebook product hot on the heels of the Friendfeed acquisition.

Is scaling back the service and forking the product the right way to compete with Twitter? More importantly, do they really need to compete with Twitter at all?

Really neat idea: Tell & show people what you bought and where.

I almost always buy things on the recommendation of friends (with the exception of some technology where I tend to be an early adopter). This will become more interesting as people tell you why they bought it in the tweet.

Jeffrey Michael sounds like a real winner, "We're a sue first, ask questions later organization."

Bit of a PR fail.

One of my clients at Trigger is Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna. We've positioned them as a fashion forward mall with our "Fresh" creative platform.

I like what Polyvore's done with this site. We try to engage shoppers with social media on the Orchard Park site, usually in the way of a contest.

This is a great alternative to contesting (which can get a little redundant).
