If I just spout out statements like “Facebook announces that it’s going to buy Twitter” or “Apple is discontinuing the iPad 1 due to iOS 5 crashes”, I might generate a bunch of SEO traffic and boost my readership, but what value did I actually provide to my readers by publishing unsupported facts?

So when Google+ launched, I jumped in again but was, again, seriously unimpressed with the “me too” nature of trying to copy Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. So when Google announced a new product called “Google + Your World” and everyone started announcing the death of Facebook and Twitter, I was naturally skeptical.

As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. The community had to react. Completely.

Without people and their personal relationship information, social media sites like Facebook and Twitter would be reduced to…well…MySpace. When I mention people, I’m not just talking about your customers, prospective customers, bloggers, tweeters, and professional contacts on LinkedIn. Challenge Them.

With a limited number of hours in the day , could Pinterest actually draw users away from other social networks like Facebook and Twitter? If you look at the core functionality of Google+ (status updates and making/grouping connections), it’s not that different that Facebook and Twitter. And what about Google+?

Twitter as a tool to communicate during conferences. After attending SMX (I’ll post something on that soon) and SES NY, I realized that Twitter is a useful tool for conferencegoers to communicate their whereabouts or to share breaking news and announcements. Similarly, Michael Twittered during SES in April.
