Social Networking Business Applications


Robert Scoble at Jive in their new offices. He’s talking to their CEO about how Jive stacks up against Microsoft and Salesforce initiatives. They discuss next big challenges, the different approaches, and how Jive fits in.

Warning. There is a lot of buzzword use. You’ll want to listen for the sections on lessons learned, challenges, and the future predictions.

This is not one of Scoble’s best interviews. It’s partially his fault, as he seems to be ill prepared to ask some hard questions. Also the Jive representative uses a ton of market speak and avoids specifics.

Robyns Online World Online Power Mom Robyn Wright Interview


I found this fascinating quote today:

This is an interview with Robyn Wright who didn’t mention that she was voted one of Nielson’s 50 Online Power Moms. Robyn is active on Twitter and Facebook and writes many product reviews on her blog. She has embarked on a new journey coming out  from behind her avatar of a hand on a keyboard to showing photos of herself and now making videos. It’s nice to see the real her that so many have come to enjoy reading about on her blog. Learn some more about her:murraynewlands.com, Robyns Online World Online Power Mom Robyn Wright Interview, Oct 2009

You should read the whole article.

Robyn, a fellow St. Louis area blogger, is both an online and offline friend.  She’s one of the most fun bloggers I know, local or not.  Her blog, Robyn’s Online World, is not just give aways, and good ones, but gives us an inside track on her world.

Robyn may not brag, but she’s got plenty of reason to be interviewed. She’s a prolific blogger. She networks both on various social networks online, but also connects by phone, email, and in person with both individuals and companies. 

She recently was selected to join EA for their big Spore event. As a follow up she had some Spore goodies to give away as well.

Please click through to the full interview and show Robyn some love.

Dragonball Evolution Interview


Interview by SciFi with the cast of the upcoming Dragonball Evolution movie.

One good thing I picked up, besides the funny stuff, was the dropped hint of movies to come by one of the actors.

Enjoy and join me in seeing this movie when it comes out.

SAP Global Survey: Pistachio’s Laura Fitton


Shel Israel bring it home again with another great interview, Global Neighbourhoods: SAP Global Survey: Pistachio’s Laura Fitton.

My favorite quote?

All my work now comes from people I know through Twitter. All of it. Not only do all my clients come from Twitter, by the time someone contacts me, they thoroughly understand how my mind works and have already decided I am the one for the project.

Laura Fitton, @Pistachio on Twitter, is everything this article describes and more.  She’s outgoing, and spirited, sharing and engaging; she’s one of my most interesting contacts.

Laura and I became contacts some months ago.  Since then, she’s not just someone I’ve listened to, but had several conversations with. She’s me and others with crisis in her life, and the joys as well.  Laura sought those of us in her network out for thoughts about her website, her business, and her blog.

Nothing fake comes across in those connections. Lively, honest, and fun communication is her way of doing business online. It seems to stand her well offline as well.

It is my hope to go beyond simple conversations to becoming long time friends, and perhaps business contacts as well.

Do you know Pistachio?
