Don't Let Social Software Become Spam Ware

It was claimed that 2004 was the Year of Social Software. Flickr, Del.icio.us and LinkedIn are all wonderful applications that became hot in the last year, UUZone in China also got the lead. Everything went on well. Meanwhile, I am not sure if I am 100% comfortable about the emails sent out by some social software. Here is one example: "Can You Believe it?" From : name of my friend <Name of my friend@invitation.sms.ac> Sent : Thursday, February 3, 2005 5:21 AM To : <My email address> Subject : name of my friend (4th request) Can you believe it -- this is the fourth request to be in name of my friend's friend network. If this means that you do not care to be in name of my friend's mobile friend network, then just say so - and save both of you the hassle. It only takes a few seconds!

Personal Social Network Management

I am thinking hard to find some good software/website, or even thinked of creating a tool myself, to management my personal social network. The problem I am facing is, I have too many contacts and I need a way to organize the relationship and keep in touch with them. I have many family members. How about sending some pictures of the new apartment I just moved in or notify them when I change my job? Now I am maintaining a private maillist. But I always forget to send interesting things to them. I have old high school classmates. They are all my best friends years ago, but ops, I have never dropped a single piece of email to them for several years. Where are they? What they are doing? Did they get married or have a baby, or something? I am receiving emails everyday, from every corner of the world, asking me questions about Shanghai. I archived the emais. Sometimes, I got an email saying: "We exchanged email in July, 2003 before I came to Shanghai. I am here. How about we meet More

Flickr, Del.icio.us e LinkedIn são tudo as aplicações maravilhosas que se tornaram quentes no ano passado, UUZone em China começaram também a ligação. Tudo foi sobre bem.

Se isto significar que você não se importa para estar no nome da rede móvel do amigo do meu amigo, a seguir apenas para dizer assim que - e para conservar ambos você o hassle. Faz exame somente de alguns segundos! Justo estalar aqui para confirmar ou rejeitar seu relacionamento com More

Web 2.0, With Whose Name We Gather

I share the pain Mao had for frequently being asked about comment on Web 2.0. Web 2.0 started from a conference in San Francisco about 1 year ago, and now Web 2.0 is the hottest buzz words in the IT world in China. Something I cannot understand is that so many magazine, whether IT related or not, put so many effort on the concept of Web 2.0. People say: Web 2.0 = RSS + Blog + SNS + (anything new, you name it)... Well. I just have strong feeling that when non-IT magazine care about some new stuff in IT world, it means the Internet penetration has arrived to a new level. This is interesting - just as non-IT magazines and newspapers start to focus on Internet several years ago. Web 2.0 is a new concept, but a very comercialized concept. I just learnt that several thousand people attended the web 2.0 conference last year, no doubt why so many media knows this word. The Internet market in China is different from the U.S, - completely different - I am not talking about how new the idea More
