In this interview on the STZ Podcast, I chat with Louis Gray. We chat about the story behind an early adopter in the online space and what influence that allows when engaged in social media. I learned a lot from Louis and he provides a lot of information on how to get yourself in a position to succeed. Being successful is something everyone wants, but like anything, Louis notes that it takes time and consistency.

Twitter’s API problems are becoming a cause for concern. Not just for third party applications, but for the users in general. Something needs to be done and the issue needs to be corrected fast. All I know is the culprit to aggravate me the most in all this is TweetDeck. How about you? Have you had it already?

This is an email conversation between Jay Viglione and myself around the continuing issues surrounding Twitter applications and our aggravation with current CEO’s in power not doing anything to satisfy the user. Jay has guest posted before and this post is extremely powerful and direct.

This episode of the STZ Podcast, we chat it up with Cali Lewis, who is the founder of GeekBeat.TV. If you remember, she used to produce a show called GeekBrief.TV, but has cancelled that show and moved onto GeekBeat. It’s a great show and this interview really helps show her passion for tech and social media.

Google and the Android Platform have taken the opportunity to work with Adobe due to the competitive advantage this gives them.

Chatroulette gives you the ability to chat with random people on the internet. That sounds safe, doesn’t it? I highly doubt it is a utility that will stick around for a long time, but for the time being it raises questions. Its basically Skype conversations through IP addresses. Read on to learn more.

This is a guest post from Michael Banks who shares in this quick article why the privacy issues that have been surrounding Facebook aren’t as big of a deal as people are making them out to be. Facebook isn’t going anywhere and I combine this guest post with the “video of the week” as a response agreeing with Mike.
