This goes RIGHT along with what I’ve been saying about how community building is like hosting a party. So many people come to me and say "we’ve built this great community site. Now how do we get people to use it?" They’ve built a building. A house for the party to happen in. A (usually) necessary first step (the party could happen "in the streets" on Twitter, FriendFeed, etc.), but only a first step. As usual, Doc speaks the truth. Read it, live it, do it. :-)
The other day I was sitting in the company of leaders in one industrial category. (I won’t say which because it’s beside the point I want to make.) A question arose: Why are there so few visitors to our websites? Millions use their services, yet few bother with visiting their sites, except every once in awhile.
The answer, I suggested, was that their sites were buildings . They were architected , designed and constructed . They were ...

Everyone is excited to experience the immediate impact that comes with NBA Live 09’s 365 feature. I know I have been looking forward to profiling how it is changing the game on a daily basis. With the season now underway we await the first update however I have been informed that it won’t be coming until tomorrow. They decided to wait until every team played their first game. From then on the updates will arrive daily.
The last NBA teams will play their first game on Thursday ... more
Today Google released an update to their BlogSearch service - and it isn’t just cosmetic.
The update is all about tracking what’s hot around the blogosphere and presenting stories ranked in 11 different categories according to how many other blogs are linking to those stories. You can then drill down and see the blogs that link to the story and a chart of how many did over time.
It isn’t a new concept - TechMeme, Technorati, Blogs.com and others have bee... more
Google BlogSearch Adds Meme Tracking No time to explore this tonight, but it’s something to understand. Expanded capabilities from Google has always been an implied threat to online monitoring businesses. (tags: socialmediaanalysis google)... more

I’ve been calling Twitter and the like "ambient intimacy" for a while now, though I like the awareness and ESP angles, too. Good article.
I’m reading and re-reading a NYT Magazine piece that explores ambient telepresence, as made mundane by Twitter, Facebook, AIM, and the like. The writer, Clive Thompson, really nailed a number of things I’ve been struggling to put into words for years. It’s a terrific read.

Google has ITS OWN SATELLITE now? :-O
Google is REALLY watching now. John Battelle blogs :
Not content to lease data from others who have satellites, Google today launched its own satellite into space . (Via BeetTv , thanks Andy.) Talk about web meets world ....this is yet another indicator of the integration of virtual and physical. And it brings Google one step closer to what I think could be the company’s Waterloo - a vira... more

Not true. The Mini 9 has an open mini PCI slot, with antenna wires ready to connect, but no 3G card. Check the autopsy photos Dell posted today. I’m sure it will be a future option, though, but do you think Dell, master of razor thin margins, would include unnecessary hardware out of the goodness of their heart? ;-)
From PC Mag - After announcing it back in May, Dell has finally launched the Inspiron Mini 9, a "companion device" for th... more

Chortle :-)
POLITICS BUZZ – Nancy and Ann Wilson, John Cougar/Cougar-Mellencamp/Mellencamp, Van Halen and Jackson Brown ask McCain to stop using their music.
