From Web 3.0 Journal
Folks, now this is really really stupid. As the geniuses at O'Reilly and CMP
Media struggle to keep the last and what may very well be the final one of
their Web 2.0 Expos, another group of brilliant entrepreneurs announced their
Web 3.0 Conference, after hearing the news that Web 2.0 is extremely dead
now.
Web 2.0 was a big scam to start with.
The name "Web 2.0" was stolen by Mr. Tim O'Reilly (the prophet) from Imagine
Media's brilliant new launch of "Business 2.0 Magazine" during the heyday of
the dot-com explosion.
The promise of Web 2.0 was that everybody in the software industry would be
billionaires just like the folks who introduced MySpace, Facebook, YouTube,
etc.
Of course this never happened.
Now it will be amusing to watch these Web 3.0 jokesters doing a Web 3.0
conference.
I am waiting for the announcement of the Web 4.0 conference by ... (more)
HDCloud, developed by Diversion Media, a New York-based startup that creates
and operates consumer media properties, is offering automated,
high-definition video encoding in the cloud for large-scale media
companies.
Whether you need 400 kpbs Flash, 1.2 Mbps MPEG-2, or 5 Mbps h.264, HD Cloud

GovIT at Cloud Expo
June 23, 2009 - During this morning’s IAC breakfast, discussing
“Transparency, Collaboration and Web 2.0”, a panelist made a very
interesting point. While the US Federal Government’s use of Internet social
media services and cloud-based information-sharing applications is well
underway, albeit at the very earliest of stages (mainly due to significant
policy, privacy, security and simple “newness” issues), by far one of the
major risks lies with accountability.
Accountability in collaboration and information-sharing environments is
typically achieved to some degree by association of metadata with the
information packages being exchanged, or with the “containers” of online
events and the trusted identities of those participating in the dialogue.
With social media applications and contexts like Twitter or Facebook,
however, there are far too many w... (more)

RIAbiz.com recently discussed the findings of an August 24-25, 2009
Investment News survey conducted on the Twitter habits of the
financial-advisory community. Not surprisingly the survey reveals that "a
mere 14.9% of financial advisers say they communicate with clients or
colleagues through Twitter. Meanwhile, only 44.9% and 43.8% of advisers say
they use LinkedIn and Facebook, respectively, the survey found".
Have RIAbiz.com and Investment News missed the point? It's not about
Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn! It's about communicating with one's
customers and clients utilizing ALL the tools available!
So, what's my point?
Practical, functional, and sensible go a long way to enhancing the
relationships financial advisors are trying to create between themselves and
their customers and clients, with or without social media tools. Social

Often when we have a call with a new client who is getting started with
BLASTmedia, we get the question, “what makes a good client?” or “what
makes for the best client/agency relationship?” By simply asking this
question, they have already knocked out one of the best things clients can do
when they are coming on-board with any public relations agency. With this
post, I’ve pulled in some input from my BLAST colleagues to address some of
the top things companies can do to make them a “good PR client,” so here
it goes.
1) They ask how they can have the best client relationship!
It seems like a simple question, but some clients never ask how they can
enable PR agencies to do the best job on their account. If you’re going to
pay for a PR agency, why not help them succeed? It’s like buying a
brand-new car. It can get you to where you want to go, but if you never take

Tom Raftery at Greenmonk (the green shoot from Redmonk) has a great analysis
of the disastrous use of smart meters by PG&E in Bakersfield, California.
He quotes SmartMeters.com that:
Bakersfield residents believe their new smart meters are malfunctioning
because their bills are much higher than before. PG&E claims higher bills are
due to rate hikes, an unusually warm summer, and customers not shifting
demand to off-peak times when rates are lower.
http://www.smartmeters.com/the-news/682-lawsuit-filed-against-pgae-for-smart-meter-overcharges.html
In the same story on smartmeters.com, State Senator Dean Florez, the Majority
Leader in California, is quoted as saying “People think these meters are
fraud meters. They feel they’re being defrauded. They’re getting no
benefit from these things.”
This after $2.2b (yes, billion) was spent on the project.
Tom Raftery goes on to say:
