• Social Graph Symposium 2010 Posted Friday, June 11, 2010 Dan Richards 0 Comments

  
  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.

• Why a Facebook App? Posted Friday, January 8, 2010 Dan Richards 13 Comments

  Why build a Facebook application?  At Constant Contact, we talk a lot about the importance of building relationships and clearly social networks are yet another way to build and develop relationships - whether it is with your clients, customers, members, family (for better or worse!) and all the other relationships we have in our day-to-day lives.  We believe that it is important to connect all your relationships from a variety of places, so a Facebook app can help enable that. How?
