40-somethings are active internet users
from emarketer:
“40-somethings are active users and members of online social networks,” said Aliza Freud, CEO of SheSpeaks, in a statement. “These women have started to use the Web and social networks in ways that mirror the rest of their lives—from finding out about a product to shopping or monitoring their children’s activities.”

Blogs suck, so says Wired, end of story?
Blogs suck according to Paul Boutin. [read: Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So 2004]
So who is this dude? Well Paul is a correspondent for the Silicon Valley gossip site Valleywag and is writing for Wired mag this month.
He doesn't want you to waste your time and talents. He wants you to Youtube, Twitter and Flickr instead. That is a much more productive use of your time and probably more profitable as well.
And he also doesn't want feedback on the subject, since "your blog will still draw the Net's lowest form of life." Blog comments = Geico caveman stuff. (right now there are 72 miscellaneous comments below his article that he will probably not read.
So Paul and Wired say blogs are soooo 2004.
There ya have it. Now, Make Zee Bucks!

Having second thoughts about Web 2.0?
Who is having second thoughts? She is. Who is she? Caroline Wexler in her FastCompany article this month entitled: "Social Misfits".
Basically Caroline is saying (you can read it yourself if ya want) that companies are not utilizing web tools, social tools or Web 2.0 itself all that well. Or at least as well as is commonly reported.
She reports on a funny Twitter story about Starbucks tweeting Wachovia.
She also reports on the amazing Facebook corporate-app story of Papa John's Online Widget being deployed by an amazing total of 34 active users. Yes, 34 ... that is not a typo.
Caroline, I believe is saying: where is the cost/benefit analysis; where is the web intelligence; where is the corporate common sense relative to Web 2.0??? So, yes, those are questions we all should ask more often. Good work Caroline.
