Just a quick note that I'll be moderating a Technology Council Event : SocialNetworking as a Business Strategy May 19, 2009 - Culver City Socialnetworking media are used on a daily basis to grow businesses and expand career opportunities. Can socialnetworking be a money-maker for companies?
Yammer, a Twitter-like spinout out of high profile Los Angeles genealogy firm Geni.com, has scored the top prize at the TechCrunch50 awards in San Francisco. Yammer offers instant messaging focused on internal corporate communications, and is the result of work by engineers at Geni. Geni is the online, Web 2.0-style
Our interview this morning is with David Sacks, CEO of Geni.com, an online family tree and socialnetworking site, as well as Yammer, the instant messaging startup spun out of Geni.com at TechCrunch50. Most socialnetworking sites have a problem with having lots of pageviews, but advertising that isn't very valuable.
By now you probably know that David Sacks , co-founder of PayPal and founder of both Geni & Yammer made some observations on Facebook that Silicon Valley “as we know it” was coming to an end. We once thought nobody could unseat Google since all inbound traffic to the web came from them. Laughable now. Of course not.
Increasing this is also migrating to socialnetwork messaging but email is still king. And I know that great startups like Yammer are doing well. The build “implicit socialnetworks.&# But what I really think is interesting is that Tumblr build socialnetworking features into their product.
Unfortunately, despite the wealth of Internet based tools for email management, web-based sales management tools, and more, contact tracking has been mostly an afterthought in the Internet age. Jon describes how he's creating a "next generation", web-based contact manager which takes into account the social nature of the web today.
The only con with the web application is that it can’t be used offline. HootSuite (SocialNetworking): Application to consolidate all of your socialnetworking into one place (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yammer, etc.). Yammer (Internal Communication): It’s like a private twitter for your company.
We put all of this infrastructure in an Exodus web hosting facility and had to pay for rack space, bandwidth and some management services if a disk failed, for example. They have built algorithms that automatically crawl the web for the world’s best structured data and use heuristic techniques to ensure the quality of the data.
And then they decided they wanted to be the Internet retailer of computing services so they created Amazon Web Services. LinkedIn – Lots of people talk about LinkedIn as a socialnetwork. Of course I could go on and on including businesses like AirBnB, DropBox, Box.net, Yammer and so on. All deflationary.
