All Your Social Media Are Belong to Us
03/14/08
Guy Kawasaki launched a new site this week called Alltop, which makes the boastful statement that “We’ve Got All the Top Stories Covered All the Time.” It’s a news and blog aggregator site for those who either can’t or don’t want to bother with setting up their own RSS readers or start pages—which is a large percentage of what I’d call mainstream web users. RSS remains very geeky and has low penetration beyond the tech-literate crowd. Mainstream users, Kawasaki and his partners reason, just want to go know, quickly, what’s going on related to their favorite topic or field of interest. And I put experienced users like me in the category of people who will like Alltop, too. The site launched with pages covering 40 broad-interest topics.
Guess what, friends? One of those topics is Social Media! And I heartily recommend you bookmark that page now—socialmedia.alltop.com—because I think it’s a fantastic collection of sites and blogs in this burgeoning field, which can be a real challenge to keep up with. [Okay, so NewMediaWise is one of the sites listed—what can I say? These people are brilliant… :-) ]
Seriously, I know of no better way today to get savvy, real fast, and stay up on developments in social media, social networking, the distributed web, and the socialization and widgetization of the web in general than this site. It gives you a great, quick overview, on one page, of all the latest news, opinion, research, analysis, and blog posts of all types in the wonderful new world of Social Media. Visit this page daily and you’ll become an expert in no time.
And I’m not alone in my praise of this site. It got a nice review from Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO conferences, as well. Please let me know what you think of Alltop!

How People Across America Are Transforming Their Lives by Finding the Where of Their Happiness
by: Rich Karlgaard
Conceived after the Tech Crash, this book captured an historic time in Silicon Valley, when people began searching for something more than the rat race they had known. My friend Rich took a short sabbatical from his job as Publisher of FORBES and flew his plane all over the country to interview entrepreneurs who had found happiness in the unlikeliest of places -- and he started right here in Minnesota.
Juicing The Orange

Creativity is everything, and these guys have proved it in spades. Fred told me they wrote the book like they were just talking with you at a cocktail party. Cool!
