No More Daily Twitter Summaries
I've just had too much trouble getting Twitter-Tools to do exactly what I want. I've been thinking about New Year's resolutions, and maybe blogging every day consistently is something I'd like to achieve. Happy 2008!
My experience with Facebook Beacon
I just read Mark Zuckerberg's post where he's basically apologizing for mistakes made in the launch of Beacon. I just want to share my personal experience with Beacon.
Yesterday, I was looking for a coffee shop to go study for my Business Strategy course. I did a quick search for "coffee" in "Santa Cruz, CA" at Yelp.com and was presented with a list of nearby cafés ranked by users. I went to the (relatively) new Bad Ass Coffee downtown, and had an amazing Double Cappuccino (with Half & Half). Looking back at Yelp, I saw mediocre ratings of the Bad Ass coffee, so I registered at Yelp and wrote my own review.
Later, I went to Facebook for something completely unrelated. Here's what I saw:
Amazing! Impressive! I really like it! What happened? When did Facebook and Yelp talk? I don't get it! But I like it!
Now, I'm sure Beacon has created all sorts of problems for people, but so far, for me, it's been nothing short of awesome.
We simply did a bad job with this release, and I apologize for it.
