…Um, well blog post that is for 2008 
Happy & prosperous 2008!Â
Our offices have reopened and to show my appreciation for my hardworking team I’ve decided to surprise them and spoil them a little by upgrading our environment a tad.
It is going to be another exciting and busy year for us and the online world, and I look forward to the challenges, updates and changes that it will bring with it.
Social Media is still the hot topic at this point.
Facebook is still the topic on everyone’s lips - but the handful of other social/business networking sites are not taking it lying down. One example that I’m happy to see beef up their game is PlaxoPulse, from which I am starting to see more activity as well. Twitter has resurged anew with increased tweets and interest, Xing geared at the professional audience is also on the uptake, and Seesmic is coming - positioning itself as a video Twitter.
One of the most recent FB events that I’m sure will spark a host of other “privacy related” scenarios is the Scoble ban from Facebook. According to MediaPost Scoble’s offense, apparently was to attempt to use a new feature of Plaxo to gather names, e-mail addresses and birthdays of some of his 5,000 Facebook friends. If you would like to read more or stand with Scoble, there is already a group on FB to petition his return.
Exciting year indeed!
