Twitter honour list [19th February 2010]
 Another interesting week on Twitter, one that created a new problem for me - how to keep up with all the interesting links that people fire around the Tweetsphere? Having coming to the conclusion that bit.ly, digg, stumbleupon and so on just don't cut it for me I'm exploring two options at the moment. The first is a home-built app, which has the advantage of doing just what I want and unlikely to be blocked by IT departments given it hangs off this site. The second is the more sociable diigo.com. I'll let you know what I settle on in the next couple of weeks.
I should start by thanking StrangeLoops for pointing me at diigo. She also gave me some pointers on the "lean startup" movement, which seems reminiscent of the excitement rushing around at the start of the dot.com rush. Let's hope lessons have been learned!
Would a small business outsource their "Social Media" work is a small debate I had with seonow. They've launched a new service to support it, I'm a little sceptical around the value it would bring. But then I still see this Social Media for business topic as something to preoccupy early adopters.
Speaking of social media in business, pleased to see that Jennifer Cannon has launched herself into the B2B space. Her new social network is aimed at the CXO types. I hope this gets off the ground because there's a big problem with consultants getting in on the act and screaming "look at me" when business types get together.
Integrating Social Media into business models is something that preoccupying people at the moment. Johan Ronnestam created 3 simple models that can help you understand where Social Media fits into your business and how best to go about it.
