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.

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’?

Gen Y are not a pushover

Miranda Devine is a Sydney Morning Herald columnist, and recently wrote an excellent piece on Australia’s Gen Y (young people now in the teens and early 20s). She had just witnessed a group of 400 of them grilling Kevin Rudd, the Aussie PM – and they had given him a rough time.
It’s well worth [...]
