Create a simple signup page to attract customers leading up to launch. I noticed a ?new? feature on facebook today when I added two facebook newbs as friends today. Although I've seen research presented that says it doesn't matter if someone is welcomed as to whether or not they will come back I'd like to think it doesn't hurt.

Apparently the iPhone club ran out of cool people to "tag" in their little discussion about what pages they browse to most frequently on their expensive phones. Well, since my phone has had an SDK for a lot longer than theirs I’m going to extend it to "connected applications" that aren’t SMS or voice. Windows [...]
I have a shared items feed from google reader, but I've been struggling with how to share that content more broadly through my main blog feed. I didn't like mirroring my shared items since it felt like content stealing and I share more than I write, but at the other extreme I don't generally [...]

The cost of doing so, like other commodity driven resources [...]

How do you manage the creation and population of these sub-communities on your site? I tend to agree with Sean and believe that Facebook does a terrible job of this. And [...]

I left Microsoft to join Telligent on June 25th, and it's been an exciting three weeks.

What's most exciting to me has been [...]

My link-post to the "open friends list movement" has two comments on Facebook already and none on ledgards.com. I think what's interesting about this is that Facebook is acting like a notifier to friends that otherwise might have skipped over posts in their river of news. You pay more attention to things that go across [...]

I remember when I started working at Microsoft. Everyone there used MSN Messenger (if they used IM… most didn't at first) and I was the new guy from college that used AIM because all my friends where there. If a friend was on both AIM and MSN I added them twice so that no matter [...]
They advertise the hell out of scrabble
But do they do it right? If you’ve played scrabulous on Facebook then you’ve, no doubt, experienced the cramped feeling of your scrabble board surrounded by ads that are reaching out, tapping you on the head, and saying "look at me!" Are they doing this right? What else could they be doing to make money [...]
