Most social networks or media sharing sites thrive on their unique offerings or exclusivity, but a new site called thisMoment hopes to bring together their disparate functions into a single portal.  thisMoment offers traditional ways of uploading photos or video to the site, but can also pull in material from other sites like Flickr, Facebook or YouTube.  The interface for thisMoment resembles a Flickr slide show with more options and the comment system is arranged to share emotions under an entry starting with &#8220;This moment made me feel&#8230;&#8221; as well as the usual space for snarky Internet one-line comments.  The [...]]]></description>

PSFK recently conducted a review of global brands that are doing &#8220;good&#8221; in regards to innovation, environmental responsibility and social collaboration. From this exploration, we&#8217;ve created the Good Brands Report 2009.
We looked at the companies we were writing about on PSFK.com and then asked a panel of cross industry global experts from the Purple List to tell us which of 40 common brands on PSFK were considered ‘Good’. These companies represent businesses from which we should learn. They are not just the well-known brands of the day but also companies that lead by example. Beyond the top 10 Good Brands, [...]]]></description>

Swedish software and design company The Astonishing Tribe are currently developing Augmented ID, an augmented reality concept for mobile phones. This utilizes facial recognition software (supplied by Polar Rose) to visualize the digital identities of those around you.
By simply aiming your mobile device at someone, you would be able to access that individual’s pre-selected information through floating icons that would appear around their image. These could contain anything from a phone number and email address to links to their favorite content or social networking platforms.
Here’s a short video demonstration:

Clay Shirky highlights one of the true conundrums of our digital lives; the realization that internet isn&#8217;t as impermanent as we&#8217;d like to think, particularly when it comes to our social media profiles. To that end, Shirky&#8217;s cursory Google search uncovers numerous users&#8217; last ditch efforts to rid themselves of their pesky LinkedIn accounts, changing their login names to telling pseudonyms like Mr. Delete This Account and  delete delete delete delete delete delete, along with&#8221;two users named Delete My Profile, four named Delete This Profile, and no fewer than ten named Unsubscribe Unsubscribe.&#8221;

Social media is revolutionizing our lives as individuals and as marketers. In the last year, Facebook exploded globally and Twitter grew by a staggering 1382%. Last week Google launched the ‘Wave’, a new in-browser collaboration tool, ushering in the era of real time, aggregated communication.
Leading corporate brands are responding. The list of Fortune 500 companies using social media reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ including Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Intel, Nike, Motorola, Pepsi, Starbucks, GM, GE and IBM. Yet even as social media goes mainstream, what it means for us as individuals and how we speak as marketers is not yet clear.

As I write this on a Sunday afternoon, after a splendid lunch accompanied by a bottle of rather fine claret, I am relaxing with my essential Sunday New York Times. Which, now that I live in Boise, Idaho, I don’t get ‘till late afternoon, as it has to be flown in from Seattle, then delivered by a family of local drug addicts, who sometimes have a problem getting out of bed in the morning.
But, that’s of little consequence to the main thrust of this week’s diatribe. After finally getting my mitts on the New York Times, I first read the [...]]]></description>

Paper Beats Internet is an &#8220;analog&#8221; social networking site that uses hand-rendered drawings as communications tools. Users post an initial drawing on the Paper Beats Internet website, and others create comment and response drawings that work off of the first drawing&#8217;s theme. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, the time and care that goes into doing a drawing adds a sense of thought, warmth and depth to the usually quick, off-the-cuff world of social media. The project is a collaboration between the New Directions in Pictoral Design class at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and a group of invited collaborators.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re looking forward to having Celestine Arnold, creative strategy consultant, join us at our upcoming PSFK Conference NYC 2009. Celestine will be speaking on the changing face of race in gaming, virtual worlds and social networks.
First, who are you and what do you do?
My name is Celestine Arnold and I&#8217;m a creative strategy consultant to brands and agencies. I generally work in the gaming, social media and digital spheres, but have worked across all types of industries. I find it is nice to mix it up a bit.

The Wall Street Journal reports that a peer to peer social currency based economy may be playing a large role in our future. Stan Stalnaker, founder of the Hub Culture social network says &#8220;I don&#8217;t think anybody has any idea of how big a shift is coming in terms of our our view and perception of finance and money.&#8221; Clever social entrepreneurs are already bypassing the traditional banking world with micro lending services such as Kiva.org, and now other groups are creating their own units of exchange.
Hub culture has its own digital currency called Ven that its worldwide members can [...]]]></description>

At some point the anonymity of the internet transformed into a social networking clearinghouse of daily minutiae and most of us willingly opted in, choosing the ease and comfort of virtual intimacy over a lonely existence of real world disconnectedness. And these communities blossomed, starting with close friends and family then expanding to include co-workers and long lost childhood chums, finally welcoming obscure acquaintances and total strangers with whom we&#8217;ve never had a face to face conversation. We decided that to know and be known was a good thing, but never really thought it through.
And now, regardless of who these people [...]]]></description>

Short text based communications on the web, or on a mobile devices can leave a lot to be desired as far as effectiveness of accurately communicating a message. Without a richer set of context clues, words can be misinterpreted and understood in ways the sender never intended. A recent NPR piece explores this problem, and the question of social responsibility on the web with the story of Twitter user &#8220;Thordora&#8220;.
NPR reports:
Alarm bells went off Sunday night for readers of a Twitter message by a woman known on the Web as Thordora. She writes a &#8220;mommy blog&#8221; — Spin Me I [...]]]></description>
