Building A Network in Real Time

I've been talking a lot about Google Buzz, but when you work in social media and Google announces that they've created a new social network, you tend to pay attention. Digg co-founder Kevin Rose has a great expliantion of why Google needs Buzz:

And I think he's right. A lot of this has to do with Google's push into real-time search. Thus far Google has been forced to use third-party entries for their real-time search results and Google wants to keep a slice of that pie for themselves. But in the rush to get that piece of pie and in the rush to create an entire social network quickly, Google has stumbled a bit and has had to make changes and apologize. But the end result — ownership of real-time search — might very well be worth it in the long run.

Does Blippy Have Social Shopping in the Bag?

Now more than ever, monetization is on everyone's social marketing radar. While some continue to debate the pros and cons of experiential vs. transactional, others have built smart business models around the inevitable merging of these two worlds.

Add Blippy to the latter category. Simply put, Blippy is a real-time social platform answers the question "What are you buying?" by enabling you to instantly share and talk about purchase information with your friends.

Islands in Ambient Streams, That Is What We Are

Over at TechCrunch, guest author Edo Segal has written a great post about ambient streams. Sci-fi lingo aside, Segal suggests a world where realtime web, published information, geolocation data and social communications engulf us in truly immersive experiences.

For companies, marketers or other parties invested in social conversation, the challenge becomes this: how do we curate and filter this information in order to influence these ambient streams? If Segal is right about this, too (he did predict augmented reality, after all), we may be trying to figure out the answer to this question for years to come.
