For the last week, there’s been a rich discussion about Causes and the way that it abruptly, without much notice, left MySpace (deleting all of the related content, connections, communications, etc.). (To dive into the conversations about Causes, visit my earlier post, or posts by Marshall Kirkpatrick, Ivan Boothe, Beth Kanter, and Joe Solomon.) The most important [...]
My first thought when I read Marshall Kirkpatrick’s post at ReadWriteWeb about Twitter and LinkedIn forming a partnership was – huh? The purveyor of 140 character dribble is partnering up with a social network meant to let the whole world know how important you are and if you are up for a new job. For what reason? After all [...]

This began as a response to a comment left by Marshall Kirkpatrick to an earlier post of mine. My belief is that it's content that drives the apps. You need something or someone to go first. With RSS it was Wired, Red Herring, Motley Fool and Salon then the early blogs then the NY Times and it blasted off.
