Collaborate, Answer, and Defuddle Any Question
A new question and answer social tool has been made available on the net (props to Mashable for this article).
The new site is called Defuddle .
I have a member profile on other Q&A Collaboration tools like LinkedIN, Yahoo!Answers, and Yedda. I can rest easy when I say I have been pleased with the ease of use through each site. Defuddle takes it one step farther and makes it EXTREMELY easy to post and reply to questions. I agree with Paul Glazowski of Mashable when he says:
“it’s already showing to be a real treat to use – and aesthetically pleasing to boot.”
Defuddle is aesthetically pleasing and is easy to use. Everyone should sign up for this cool tool and try it out. What could it hurt?
Comcast: A Company That Finally Gets It!
Sunday afternoon: A time to sit back, relax, watch a good flick , and hit up Twitter. I was perusing my twitter pal ThomasHo and he was mentioning how he chose Comcast over AT&T because of a twitter post called Comcastcares .
I was pleased to find that Comcast actually has an employee twittering! Talk about getting deep into socialmedia! Every one should take note and follow Comcast on this brilliant way to connect with their customers!
Holy..My Top Friends Feature is Gone
I received the alert from Mashable this morning.
I went to check out the warning that my top friends app could be gone. Yep, completely gone.
Stan Schroeder of Mashable makes a great point that whether or not Facebook deleted the app or they have a glitch in their system it could mean bad news for app developers and businesses wanting to use Facebook for business.
I honestly don’t know how I feel about app deletion, if that is the case. I didn’t receive a message or email or even a POKE to let me know my top friends app was going to be removed. It was just removed. If it is a glitch in the system, this may the first sign that app developers should be wary of the Facebook system.
Cheerio!
BrightKite Flyer
I received a link from Doug Karr to test out a Beta version of a social platform called BrightKite . I always find enjoyment in checking out new forms of social media. Thanks Doug! 
Overall, the platform is pretty cool. In my opinion, the coolest feature on the site is a location generator. You can update your friends where you are in a particular city based on street address. Of course, you can do this on twitter just by sending an update but Brightkite takes it a step further and places your friends on a Google interactive map.
I like the map feature. Some might think BigBrother just got a little creepier but that is offset by a TRUST feature you can apply to friends you trust. (Something LinkedIN should figure out).
Short and to the point.
