Does anyone, in a typical business setting, get any work done during this week? I’m thinking not so much, because while there are only a few more people out of the office than an ordinary week, the number of support questions I get during this week tends to be about zero. That, to me, hints…
So, how many of you were thrust into using Teams, Slack, Google Docs, etc. when your office was suddenly all work from home? Based on the amount of requests we get in the industry to quickly figure out how to deal with collaboration tools data in eDiscovery I’m going to bet a whole lot of…
Sorry for the outage earlier today. My host tells me there was some sort of DOS attack, just another fun day on the ‘net. 🙂 Tomorrow will be road trip adventure, as I’ll be rolling over to Dayton bright and early for the Ohio ITEC conference. I wouldn’t expect there to be much here… Follow…
As if we needed another reminder that Facebook, and the like, is where all conversations are happening on the internet, I recently updated the Social plugin from Mailchimp across my blogs and noticed something different. Where there used to be a limit on the number of characters when broadcasting a post to Facebook, suddenly it…
Tim leaves out of his analysis accounting for how many users will no longer be there and how that much smaller user base impacts the value proposition. If I’m a journalist using Twitter to interact with readers and attract new readers to my publication, the ROI of paying for a fully-featured Twitter account includes considering how many people it helps me reach. Is it still worth it when my 250,000 followers get cut to 25,000? What about 2,500? What about less?
Before you dismiss that as unlikely, I’d like you to remember that recent Pew research found that “the top 25% of users by tweet volume produce 97% of all tweets, while the bottom 75% of users produce just 3%, according to an analysis conducted over a three-month period in 2021.”
I’m going to just assume that the 75% group who isn’t tweeting very often is not going to pay for Twitter. Of the other 25% we have to consider how many of them will fall into the $12 per year plan because they already don’t follow many people but use Twitter to interact with people who want to follow them. The question is, will those followers still exist? And if they don’t exist, is Twitter still a global conversation? Or is it just another place for privileged people who pay for membership to talk to each other?
Thanks to My Wife for pointing out this Wash. Post article about the surveillance system the airlines and the FAA are contemplating. To quote: Federal aviation authorities and technology companies will soon begin testing a vast air security screening system designed to instantly pull together every passenger’s travel history and living arrangements, plus a wealth…
