Last week, I shared a list of about 120 companies using and/or being used by social media marketing. Less than a week later, that list has almost doubled solely based on community contributions. Thank you for sharing. The list seems big enough to support some analysis. What do you think about this graphic? (You can create your own at wordle.net.) Thoughts?

This is a busy week, I’ve received more submissions than ever before, if this pace continues, I’ll have to figure out a new way to let folks self-submit.

Lastly, while social media is certainly easy for folks to offer, I’m seeking...

So tomorrow I fly to NYC, a place I have been far too little in the past 18 months. And I have some people to see, and a Knight News Challenge meet up to run (find out how to apply to win $5MM for community projects), but I still have tons of work to do. And I need office space with net access, better than Starbucks. When I go to Palo Alto, I can ask Keith Teare or Ross Mayfield and get great help;...

Some raw notes on why PRI’S The World (especially “The World Tech Podcast” or WTP) is having issues with social media. It may sound bad, for many reasons. But I won’t adapt the tone. No offense intended. Thing is, I don’t really care about WTP, The World, or even the major media outlets behind them (PRI, [...]

There are several different tools and tactics included under the umbrella of "social media"—including podcasting, video, social bookmarking, wikis, forums, and social networking—but the ideal starting point is blogging.
