• Check-Ins Not Dead: GetGlue Posts a Record Number of Check-Ins for April "That "virtual water cooler" effect is no doubt spurring on the check-ins and the conversations on GetGlue, something that goes beyond just the site itself. During primetime, for example, between 3% and 20% of tweets about TV shows come from GetGlue."
• With Lack of True Stats Twitter is Losing Trust of Its Users "The fact is Twitter is reporting correct stats. They're just not reporting the same stats as their competitors, and that's a huge illusion, creating confusion as it was intended to."
• Why journalists should think twice about Facebook "Facebook is on a fantastic roll today. It’s positioned to dominate the next decade of online evolution the way Google and Microsoft respectively dominated the previous two. It can’t be ignored and I wouldn’t suggest doing so. But it’s not the public sphere, not in the way the Internet itself is. It’s just a company. I hope every editor, reporter and news executive remembers that as they try to get their conversations hopping and their links shared."
• Professionalitätsverweigerung oder: Mein verspätetetes Fazit zur re:publica XI Warum verbinden so viele das republica-Publikum mit einer "Internet-Szene" und diese "Szene" mit dem gesamten deutschsprachigen Internet? Das ist so grotesk wie albern.
• The Cloud Has Us All In A Fog "My favourite Douglas Adams books are the Dirk Gently novels, in which the protagonist makes use of “the fundamental interconnectedness of all things” to solve crimes in hilariously unexpected ways. Now we’re literally building that interconnectedness into (nearly) all things. So we shouldn’t be too surprised to find ourselves moving into a Dirk Gently future, in which off-kilter left-field ricochet consequences happen at an ever-increasing rate."
• Ich verlasse Carta – Christoph Kappes' posterous "Für neue Projekte im Bereich von Inhalten, Aggregation und Blogosphäre habe ich ein offenes Ohr."
• Feedly taps HTML5 to bring cross-platform news reading to iOS, Android "The new apps — available on the iTunes App Store and Android Market — use an HTML5 framework developed by Feedly called “Streets,” which allow all of the apps to run the very same code across Android and iOS. It also makes the apps fully adaptable to a variety of screen sizes, making it perfect for smartphones and tablets. Thanks to Streets, Feedly says you’ll have a consistent experience with the app across all platforms, as well as on a computer."
