Off-site round-up

Way too tired to make an original post here today after staying up till 3 amazed to see how many of my old anti-establishment type friends have active MySpace accounts and then getting up at 5:30 to interview Robin Good in Rome for Net Squared (coming soon -yay!)

I have made a number of posts over on Social Software today that I think will be of interest to readers here, though. Including: YouTube goes mobile, a New Survey of Familiary with Web 2.0 terms, Grazr gets money and a partner, Global Voices Online gets money from Reuters, CoComment now offering Fire Fox extension for auto-capture of your comments and finally, anyone’s video soon to be subscribable via Tivo.

I thought I’d also point out a post I made yesterday to the MobileActive blog about the use of RSS to SMS/IM for mobile phone toting activists. Big thanks to Katrin for the invite to post that (I love these tools, really want to spread those ones in particular.) I’ll be posting an interview with Katrin from MobileActive over at NetSquared early this evening hopefully. But first I’ve got to go walk the dog and listen to a podcast.

Super bonus link-o-rama: speaking of podcasts, check out this excellent one with 25-year marketing pro Sally Falkow on the power and pace of RSS and general web 2.0 adoption in the corporate world. She’s more dismayed about peoples’ reaction than I expected – she’s totally on board her self. Interesting stuff.

Mike Arrington of Tech Crunch on pitching bloggers

Listening to a low-audio-quality, high-value podcast interview with Mike Arrington of tech review super-blog Tech Crunch on how to promote your work to bloggers. Interview by Jeremy Pepper. Lots of good thoughts. Adding it to my archive of info on pitching bloggers. Interesting note, Arrington says that if you must use Bloglines to estimate the number of subscribers a blog has you should multiply the number there by 5 because it has 20% of the market share. That’s not what my experience has been, I see a formula more like Marnie Webb’s 2X estimate – but there’s another opinion for you.
