Recently Twitter announced that it will be making a new feature available to the public - Geolocation.
Think of it as GPS meets Twitter...soon, in the "classic" 140 characters or less, you can also (through an opt-in process) allow your followers to know your precise latitude and longitude coordinates.
Would anyone really opt-in for such a service?
On the bright side, it is just one more low-cost tool in our new arsenal to turn each and every one of us into our own reality show (I hear they're quite popular these days); our own media channel where we can share our innermost thoughts, images and whereabouts - all in real-time. Recently, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart satirized how social media, especially Twitter, is changing our very reality...click here to view this great segment.
Yet what I find amazing is how quickly and eagerly we are to put ourselves under such a microscope. Why complain about Big Brother when WE HAVE BECOME BIG BROTHER?
Moving on...
This week we are proud to welcome Scott Gingold, CEO and Founder of Powerfeedback as well as Confidential Counselor. Scott's company Powerfeedback, a market research organization has partnered with TNNW to bring you weekly surveys (yeah...that stuff we've been promising for the past several weeks). Each week of our newsletter, we will have not only the latest survey (will take you less than 30 seconds to complete it) but the results of it from the week before as well!
In this issue, we unveil our inaugural TNNW survey on Perceived Data Deficiency Syndrome ("PDDS"). Let your voice be heard by clicking here.
In other news...since next week is the 5th Sunday of the month, we will be taking a one-week hiatus and resuming our Newsletter on September 6th. Of course, if you subscribe to our daily email feed, you won't miss us much. You do subscribe to our daily email feed, don't you?
And going out with a big bang this summer, we are co-sponsoring my friend, Thomas Carmada's Ultimate Networking Event. If you're going to be in Philadelphia on August 25th, you don't want to miss it - this time it will be at Ladder 15 at 1528 Sansom Street (between 15th and 16th streets) in Center City from 6:00pm to 9:30pm. For more information, please click here.
As always, I look forward to Networking with you,
Adam
