Brand new laptops, mobile devices, and cameras of every variety. Whatever your style, know that there are options and do what feels right. Have a Gadget Plan As you might expect in a tech crowd, the number of shiny objects was overwhelming. Amidst the chaos, some gadgets are bound to become separated from their owners.

The internet and technology ownership has changed everything: digital TV, mobile phones, iPods, weblogs, instant messaging, [and] social networking. Previously, to have a mobile phone, you needed a large bank account. BTW – I’ve really been interacting with the Digg community more and more. Of course I do.

Brightkite: Email and SMS – mobile web is definitely the wave of the future. Making sure your site is not only accessible on mobile phones but can interact with them is extremely important. The main thing that seems missing from Plurk is the community and visibility a lot of other sites have attracted.

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere. No need for the traditional media to be the conduit of communication. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community.

On the other hand, Plurk is really new, and thus, Twitter wins on followers (and the fact that mobile access — via SMS — totally owns), so the Plurk discussions (for now) are at a minimum. I am starting to use Plurk more with the mobile interface, though it isn’t 100%. You may have more than one.

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Give them a reason to want to communicate.

These scenarios come to fruition in spontaneous communities, on social networks, and other self-service tools – all thanks to the availability of low cost technology and access to the world wide web.

Well, for one, social media users — that is, users on social news sites such as Digg, Mixx, Reddit — are not particularly enthusiastic about the proliferation of marketers in their community. Tim is the author of The Four Hour Workweek , a bestseller about the mobile lifestyle.

I became a big fan of playing games (bingo especially) at a little hub on AOL called RabbitJack’s Casino , which was considered a unique community within the AOL borders with a close-knit group of people from all walks of life. Now, the mobile Web is here. My first social “network&# was also on AOL. Good site, Subscribed!

It’s an almost magical device that can show incredibly crisp HD video, all the audio you can handle, Web pages, books, online magazines ( Zinio is great on the iPad), newspapers, tweets, Facebook, Linkedin, and just about anything else you’d want to digest.

In other words, they don’t give a damn about the community and they seemed to have moved on — perhaps completely. Instead, since they weren’t, we are left to our own devices and seek alternative methods (which are not the right avenues of communication, but what do you do when the proper roads lead you to a dead end?).

Growth Is Slowing The true size of the Twitter audience is a bit tricky to pin down because 55% of its users do so via third party and mobile applications. Functionally, everything Twitter does, Facebook does just as well, with the exception of mobile usage. Check ( Facebook Lite ). Retweet-style sharing tools? What’s Happening?
