I attended the Social Graph Symposium 2010 http://socialgraphsymp.com/ last week. This was an event hosted by Microsoft & Rapleaf rapleaf.com and was a full day focused on a range of topics and issues involving social media, social networking, the overall social graph and societal implications. There was some great discussion and some conflicting opinions on where this will be leading us. I think it is safe to say that everyone there agrees that the implications of the social graph are significant for business, for politics and for society in general. -

Putting the Mobile Web First Posted Friday, May 28, 2010 0 Comments

It is unfortunate, but probably not very controversial, to say that mobile web sites tend to be second-rate afterthoughts compared to “real” desktop-browser-optimized sites. A lot of popular web sites either provide no mobile-optimized version at all, provide an overly-specific one built only for the iPhone, or provide a super-generic, watered-down WAP version that admittedly presents the content, but usually so that it looks like an unstyled bulleted list. What’s worse, none of these mobile strategies really scale well to handle new devices - say, a new class of device with a screen halfway between that of a smartphone and a desktop. The iPhone-specific version usually doesn’t display properly, the WAP version is way too basic, and the full desktop site often requires Flash, Silverlight, Java, or other heavyweight plugins that aren’t always available.It’s kind of a mess.
