Adventures in Frictionless Sharing
I have been exploring frictionless sharing for years in the form of auto-tweets, retweets, automatic cross-posting, and attention data. What is it, you ask? Well, according to Wikipedia, frictionless sharing describes the transparent sharing of resources using social media services. What this means is that all you need to do is look at a particular piece of content such as a news item, story, video, or content, and the object of your attention–whatever you read at the moment of reading it–is appended in mention and link to your Facebook timeline.

Every day the news rolls in about some aspect of the Internet marketing space. Actually, to say it is every day is a bit of an understatement. Life at Internet speed happens at a fast and furious pace that is difficult for anyone to keep pace with. In fact, by saying that every day something new happens is looking at the tortoise’s version of the Internet space as opposed to a hare’s point of view which needs the new Real Time offering from Google Analytics to see something when it happens, not if it happened in some previous time period.

Recently, the news has been filled with the latest comings and goings (and speculation around who’s next) among some of the Internet space’s heavyweights, starting with the A-list blogger Michael Arrington of TechCrunch. In case you lost your scorecard, here’s a recap: Read the remainder of this entry »
