Over the past day and a half, quite a bit has gone on with Digg. I’m not going to rehash it here because I think that everything that needed to be said has been said (over and over). Here’s a short version of what happened from Frantic Industries: First, the short version of what happened…

Google Ads Now on StumbleUpon
April 28th by Chris Winfield
10 days ago there were lots of rumors flying around about toolbar based social network StumbleUpon getting acquired by eBay. On the same day Google released their own version of StumbleUpon with their Google Dice feature (Searching Without a Query). Many people looked at this as a way for Google to rain on the StumbleUpon…
The Cluetrain Manifesto and What it Means for Your Business
April 26th by BlueGlass Blogger
On the Internet, information gets outdated pretty darn quickly. Months pass and old blog owners consider pruning old posts that seem outdated.

Barack Obama effectively using Yahoo Answers
April 2nd by Chris Winfield
Two weeks ago Barack Obama wanted to get an answer to a question that has been plaguing politicians for years: How can we engage more people in the democratic process? The question isn’t new but the way he sought answers sure is. He didn’t ask this during an appearance on CNN or during an interview…

March 30th by Chris Winfield
Want to Digg to know exactly who you are inviting into your network? Want Digg to know about your own little network of friends and match up exactly who is voting on your stories?
