Here is my script and a quick how-to about using the Buzz2FriendFeed‘ script. The code is under GPL, feel free to reuse it.

Too happy to see me on Wired! If you’re italian, you might be interested to read this post on my italian personal blog.

n Italy, Facebook decided to close every group concerning Massimo Tartaglia – the man who punched the Prime Minister Berlusconi. A lot of people criticized Facebook for this, because they wouldn’t be able to freely express themselves.

But don’t forget Facebook is a company. You can’t write on a wall that doesn’t belong to you. The owner may decide to do what he would like to, with his own wall.

In these slides I illustrate my concept, inspired by ma.tt post and nd throughout this event, I explain a way (a protocol) that allows you to post informations, with no censorship.

Palmisano remembered me on twitter to post this link, the Open Microblogging Protocol.

The slides I’m talking about are in the previous post What I think about the future of Media.

I fixed a few points. I can summarize my speech as follows:

The Internet is a revolution in continuos evolution, and everything is evolving with it

With the new media, we can choose to get what we want, when we want it. If traditional media moves into this direction, they might survive

If you don’t have an internet connection, you’re out of touch with the world – if you are not on internet, you’re unknown

There are many other points made in the slides.

No, I’m not a social media expert, I’ve just tried to use the web in unconventional ways to promote Nesli. This is the first time I work in this area. Everything is going very well. Here are the stats about his Facebook page. We started from 0 fans. Ok, don’t be scared, I’ll explain how we did ;)

Today I read this amazing post from Chris Messina writing about slashtags, that I called the TwitterTags 2.0 so the new Twitter microsyntax.

What are the SlashTags?

Sure you might have never listened this word, but you can understand I’m speaking about using slash “/” in tweets. Who comes from IRC world, already knows that slashes are commands ( Slash + a word like /join ). Here examples of using SlashTags. There is a project about this new kind of microsyntax, you can collaborate or just read all about Slashtags in this wiki

/via – to say from who you get a content

The via pointer is like “RT”. Already used with “(” and “)” like “(via @nicolagreco)”

Is it time to start switching to HTML5? http://bit.ly/7Tn282 #html5 /via @woork

With the /via pointer you can save one character.

/cc – to indicate someone you want to direct a tweet at

This is like in emails. You use this pointer as carbon copy.

I miss my deadline! /cc @wolly

That’s useful for people that follow lot of users and can’t read everyone’s tweets. So you can get their attention using cc.

/by – to cite or quote someone

Ok this, which might appear same as /via or RT, as Chris says in his post, it’s used to quote or cite someone, so it’s not like retweetting.

make yours spirits bright. wish. /by @stefigno

/thx – to thanks someone for a tweet

This is a funny pointer, we might use to thank someone for a link, for a tweet or everything else.

Bugs fixed! /thx @dottorblaster

Given I use a lot FriendFeed, I would like to add to the Chris list /like. To put a “like” on a tweet. Anyway, we just can use slashtags as we want, like commands giving to pointers a kind of sense, and not just using them as hashtags.

The book arrived from Harvard, of course, is The Cluetrain Manifesto sent and signed by Weinberger. Too excited can’t wait to read it.

These are the slides I presented for an Ignite event. I had these speech in 5 minutes. 15 secs per slides. It was like a challenge, but it was a great experience.

There is a lot to think about when releasing your iphone application as a free app, or a paid app to the App Store.
Here are 5 important points you should consider when deciding whether or not to charge for your application.

If it extends your current business to the iPhone (so the app does what you already do outside the iPhone).

If it’s stupid or unuseful, but funny (funny things are very appreciated by iPhone users).

If it might be potentially used by lot of people

If it’s not useful and complete, free things are generally considerated low-quality.

If it’s not a niche app.

iPhone app business model is not only based on selling the app. Consider advertising and derivate business like “selling something from your app” a good non-conventional strategy. Selling the app as free sometimes is better. As soon i’ll write something around unconventional business model with iPhone app
