KLUSTER.COM LAUNCHES SOCIAL NEWS SITE AS PART OF ‘RESTRUCTURING&rsquo
2008-05-14 16:55:00 Just a few months after it enjoyed a high-profile launch at the TED Conference, Kluster--a social site for project collaboration that allowed members to share in potential profits--has restructured. On Wednesday, the company launched Knewsroom, a social news site, as part of its new Kluster Labs strategy. A look at a 'Knewsroom' submission(Credit: Kluster)"Seven weeks in and a million dollars down the drain, we know what works," founder Ben Kaufman said in a video he posted to YouTube late in April when he first announced that there would be some changes going on. Kluster had already "restructured" once: it got its start as iPod accessory company Mophie, and its community-focused product development strategy caught the eye of TED organizers at the Macworld conference. Kluster's strategy had some big flaws, Kaufman admitted in an e-mail sent to members Wednesday. "It sucks when you go to Kluster and there aren't any paid projects to jump in on," he said. "When everyone comes t...

7 Social Media Pitfalls
2008-05-13 21:07:00 Last night the High Tech Communicator’s Exchange featured a great presentation by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo of Capulet Communications. They discussed the 7 risks you should be aware of when considering a social media campaign. Here they are in cryptic fashion. For more detail, you’ll just have to buy their ebook (or the soon to be released in paper version) - Getting to First Base. 1. Your efforts are just not interesting enough - so spice it up a little. 2. Blogger backlash - beware the prima donnas and know your blogetiquette. 3. Rejection or backlash - could haunt you forever. 4. Efforts die on the vine - because of improper resource allocation. 5. You have Cluetrain goggles - social media is another tool in your marketing arsenal not the be all and end all. 6. Too self absorbed - always blowing your own horn rather than adding real value to the audience. 7. Be Proactive - do your homework and be prepared. I would add only one thing to this and that is the ri...

Boutique Bikers, Social Darwinism and Culling the Herd
2008-05-13 17:30:00 Boutique Bikers, the phenomenon of recent years where a person walks into a Boutique Styled Motorcycle Dealership, plops down the signed Credit Application and purchases a New Motorcycle, along with all of the branded accoutrements of a Motorcycling Life Style.

If these new Boutique Bikers would just take a few steps toward the Safety aspects of Motorcycling, they would find a wealth of training opportunities and expert advice on the best way to remain a Motorcycle Rider for as long as you possibly can. Unfortunately, the Motorcycle Dealerships are not compelled to insist on Safety Training before the sale and they certainly aren't focused on safety post-sale, just piling on the afore mentioned accoutrements of a Motorcycling Life Style.

2008-05-10 15:17:00 I joined this site three weeks ago and have done one opportunity and I missed the two tasks because I received it in the morning before I went to work. They will only give you 12 hours to do it. The site is beautiful but I have a hard time in navigating it. I got lost doing it and also when they give me an opportunity I have a hard time figuring it out. The site is now opened to everyone who like to blog. I think what you really need if you are a member of SocialSpark is familiarized the site and invite other bloggers to be your friend or you could take some blog opportunities.One of the members that I like is Roxiticus Desperate Housewives because she is very hard worker I guessed.

Social Networking sites now allow to share space..

The transition poses a risk for Facebook and MySpace because they are effectively tearing down the barriers that sequestered the personal profiles on their sites.Myspace has also become so liberal that it is even ready to exchange information with its arch-rival Facebook. Experts believe that this move by Myspace gives more oppurtunity for the people to join.

What is social justice?
2008-05-10 05:21:00 American philosopher John Rawls (1972) stipulated that resources should be distributed in such a manner as to maximize benefit for the least advantaged members of society. Any inequality can only be justified if they are beneficial to the weakest members of society. A perhaps more familiar conception of social justice articulated by David Miller. According to Miller, social justice consists of three components: rights, deserts and needs. The first consists of largely of negative first-generation rights, such as equality before the law and freedom of speech. The second consists of "the recognition of each person's action and qualities," which implies proportional compensation for one's contributions to society. Any judgment on what constitutes due recognition for a given action or quality, will inevitably be made relative to other members of society (e.g. it is not possible to determine whether or not my income constitutes a just reward without comparing myself to others). The thir...
