Get OutFoxed!

October 7, 2005 sonjab Connection Economy, Teams 4 Comments

OutfoxedI found a link to the OutFoxed site listed on a Social Network Analysis Community. It’s an interesting concept, and I remember reading a related article in Time magazine not too long ago about how social networking and trusted referrals may revolutionise the marketing industry. The main premise was that people usually prefer to support a business that was recommended by a trusted friend, and that marketing executives should try to harness the power of these trusted social networks. OutFoxed seems to be based on the same principle, but applied to web content.

This is the introduction they have on their web site:

” There are over 8 billion web pages. Most of them suck. Outfoxed uses your network of trusted friends and experts to help you find the good stuff and avoid the bad.”

Go have a look on http://getoutfoxed.com – I think this is an interesting tool to play around with (have a look at the Visualization Demo).

    Basically nothing notable going on lately. Pretty much nothing seems worth doing, but that’s how it is. So it goes.

  3. twink feet says:

    I’ve just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. I just don’t have anything to say right now. My life’s been basically unremarkable , but eh. I can’t be bothered with anything recently.

You’re going to have to change your management style

You’re going to have to change your management style

I spend a large part of my year in conversation with managers working hard to try and understand today’s younger workforce. The pain they’re feeling is palpable. The evidence of change is overwhelming. Making the necessary changes, at times, seems impossible. The hope is that the challenges are being interrogated and slowly but surely acted [...]

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

Everyone agrees that something must be done about executive pay. One of the major contentious issues emerging out of the financial crisis is the way that senior executives and manager, especially in the financial industries, are remunerated. These days, executive pay often seems to be unrelated to the company’s performance, and in many [...]

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
