Social Median , over the last few months, has taken a growing role in my tech news discovery process, falling in line alongside FriendFeed and Google Reader , offering up news submitted by other Social Median users on topics I’ve asked to follow, such as Apple , Blogging and Lifestreaming . Starting this last week, Social Median made it even easier for me to share news items with fellow site users, by integrating Google Reader shared links into the site, making me appear more active, and dramatically increasing the available news to followers. Social Median’s news sources have, to date, come through "Snips", which are user generated notes, a lot like Tweets on Twitter , and "Clips", which can be done from any page on the Web, through the bookmarklet, or through submitting news directly on the site. As with other social sites, you can "Clip" other users news items, essentially adding your vote and sharing it to those who follow you, or make comments on the story e...

So, recently I was able to upgrade from 1.5megs to 8megs internet speed. Using FF3, I would type my searches into the search bar to the right of the address bar, and everything would be all right. Now, with the 8megs, whenever I type something into that search bar, and the search engine is set to Google, it takes forever/page loading error. Any reason about this? Other search engines work just fine, it just seems to be that Google is abnormally slow, or unresponsive, or on the very rare occasio... more
MySQL problem
I am attempting to create a new user in MySQL, with Yahoo as a Web host. When I go to Privileges, I get this message:
Warning: Your privilege table structure seems to be older than this MySQL version!
Please run the script mysql_fix_privilege_tables that should be included in your MySQL server distribution to solve this problem!
My Google fu has failed me. I have no idea how to repair this problem in Yahoo. Help! Thanks!... more
Image via Wikipedia It is not often that you see something that actually worked out the way that it should work out, but in looking at the last article, Social Median actually did something right. Well besides embargoing their new election widget news on Saturday and letting me know it existed, they followed up this morning with a quick release to let me know that it had gone live.
The good part (and please all PR folks follow along here) was the conversation that ensued over the weekend... more
Apple Computer’s Steve Jobs famously said, in 2004 , that he felt "you watch television to turn your brain off" and use the computer "to turn your brain on". In the ensuing years, however, Apple has marched directly into your living room, with the Apple TV , and the company’s digital devices are making the partnership between your computing side and your television-watching side better and stronger. A new iPhone application from i.TV debuts today, letting iPhone and iPod Touch ... more
Part Seven In a Monthly Series Sometimes the best blogging is going on well away from the most visible places. Since March, I’ve taken the beginning of each month to showcase some bloggers that are writing some solid content in their corner of the blogosphere. They may not post as frequently as some of us do, and they certainly don’t have the readership they deserve. Just maybe, with this little boost, it can give them the encouragement they need to keep going, and get more proli... more
In a perfect blogging world, the very best writers with the very best content would get the most visitors, page views and subscribers. Every visitor would leave comments, send the links to friends, click through ads, and engage in thoughtful dialog with the author. And authors would be more than happy to pass along credit to other blogs for finding stories early, link to lesser-known voices, and admit when they got things wrong. But, alas, this theoretical utopia doesn’t exist, and as a r... more
By Rob Diana of Regular Geek ( Twitter / FriendFeed ) The one problem I had been having with SocialMedian was the need to manually "clip" stories that I find interesting on the internet. Many social news sites, i.e. Digg , Mixx , etc., use this model with great results. SocialMedian has been trying to focus on getting relevant information in front of their users, while maintaining the voting and commenting mainstays of social news. By allowing users to create news networks, an... more
