Remember that time It was far worse than what we've seen so far in the economic turmoil of 2008. It seemed like EVERYONE was laid off. There was even a Website, fuckedcompany.com, that tracked layoff after layoff. No good news, like the funding of Automattic, was coming out. 911 just happened and it seemed to be particularly..http://scobleizer.com/2008/01/23/what-to-do-if-youre-laid-off-in-2008-recession/ AmericaSkiing.com launches social networking portal for skiers and snowboarders- January 15, 2008 AmericaSkiing.com announced the launch of its social networking portal exclusively for skiers and snowboarders.

Zuckerberg's "60 Minutes" Interview Treads Familiar Territory- January 15, 2008 What happens when old school investigative journalism meets new-fangled social networking You get gems like Lesley Stahl&39;s interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on last night&39;s "60 Minutes." For die hard Facebook junkies there's hardly any new information about the site or its founder. However, there are a couple interesting tidbits about Beacon (he still supports it), an IPO (no go in 2008), and how he stacks up against other Valley figures like Larry and Sergey from...http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/01/zuckerbergs-60.html Friend Hierarchy- January 14, 2008 Now that I use 267 different social networking tools, I&39;m confused. I&39;ve got so many different "friends", but I don&39;t know how to differentiate between them. My "friend" Dave Nolastnamesogoogledoesntindexme recently asked me if I have seen any moves toward private hierarchies of relationships. Specifically he (and I) want to categorize my "friends" into a hierarchy that I get to create. One example set might be (lover, buddy, friend, acquaintances, met.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FeldThoughts/~3/216446468/friend_hierarch.html The Many Faces of Hulu- January 7, 2008 Part of Hulu's strategy is to not only be a destination, but also a hub for the distribution of content from NBC Universal and News Corp. They do this in two ways: 1. by letting ordinary users embed clips elsewhere on the web, and 2. by partnering with major media sites to deliver commercial content. The result is that consumers have a number of choices for where they can view the content on Hulu.com. We'll take a look at a handful of Hulu-powered sites below, including Hulu itself.

Usually Mike Massnick over at Techdirt jumps on these stories and debunks them in about five minutes flat. We've got yet another of these types of stories to debunk (and if I hurry up with this, I might beat Mike to the punch), but it doesn't come from the mainstream...http://mashable.com/2008/01/04/twitter-harbinger-of-economic-doom/ 10 Ways Twitter Can Boost Your Social News Profile- January 5, 2008 This is guest post by Dan Zarrella, a social media marketing consultant.

The site, a progenitor of the web 2.0 movement, was one of the first to harness the wisdom of the crowds - by allowing you to ask a question of the internet audience in hopes that someone out there had the answer or solution, which you were too inexperienced or "lazy" to find for yourself.
