Essential Guide to Social Media- Brian Solis
Brian Solis, superstar and rock god, has released his Essential Guide to Social Media. I’m thrilled by this. Brian’s been at this game since 1997, before there was a scene. He was standing around waiting for us all to catch up to him, and now, you can have access to his brilliant book.
Dig in, it’s free. Get it here.
Alltop of My Game
Earlier this morning, Pistachio blogged about Alltop, some kind of new “read it all in one place” site. This afternoon, Brian Solis points it out, too. Only this time, he clues me in to the fact that my blog is part of their egos section. Ego. Hmm.
I feel honored that they included my name in their list. I feel weird that the area is called “egos,” but I get that it doesn’t exactly fit the rest of the taxonomy any other way. I wish they had more than five women on their list of egos, but I imagine it’s the kind of thing that grows/changes over time.
What Pistachio said to me that’s cool about the project is that it’s like RSS for the masses, meaning that it’s a good way to understand the value of aggregated news. I didn’t look around a lot. If there was a roll-your-own section, that’d be even hotter.
What do you think of Alltop? Do you like it? How about as a tool for people not yet tuned in to making their own RSS reader sing for them?
Thanks, Alltop, for including me.
