Spot On August 5, 2009 by Dave HaynesYou’re right on the money. I would like to add a couple more things (even though this is about Twitter, you struck a nerve with LinkedIn.) You’re right about LinkedIn, but I try to take it seriously. Sure, I use it to self promote, but I also use it to contact each of my connections …
Your right, as usual… August 4, 2009 by Dave HaynesDave, you’re right about everything. LinkedIn has degenerated into a heap of self-promotional nonsense.

Compnay name…. August 4, 2009 by Dave Haynes“Mommentum” – that seems designed to have customers NOT find you on Canada411, online, etc… I am sure they have a great reason for their cute name but since it is apparently a reason known only to them… 😉

Content August 4, 2009 by Dave HaynesDoes this use the same video wall technology that Samsung featured at their Infocomm booth this year? If I am not mistaken, there is a plug-in player in each of those screens and then a routing appliance that handles the content management. Do you happen to know the specifics of the architecture? Who creates the …
