I bet many will look at this list and try to replicate it. You've successfully created a "how to be a hero" post ;)
Google has always claimed that Google+ is a layer. Backbone/infrastructure, not community. Data, not engagement. Nothing new here.
@carljones Satire is good. Sometimes it's just misunderstood. Like Color. And Path. And Gowalla. And Twitpic. Does Twitpic still exist? Sigh...
Also, don't do what Epicurious did: http://www.socialnerdia.com/blog/2013/4/19/social-media-mistakes-are-symptoms-of-flawed-brand-strategie.html
You didn't really need to write the D-Bag section. The fanboy sentences might have been enough to get that point across ;)
@nathanielmott Design is subjective. You're saying there are "better-designed devices" but that sounds like Apple-speak to me. Maybe plastic is better design. That's my point. Still trying to understand what yours is ;)
Well, it's working so you may want to reconsider your view of "good design."
FYI: Launched a book titled SOCIAL STATE. http://www.socialstatebook.com
@DaveMcClure Canada gets no love?
I've been on both sides in different roles (ie. consulting, social media marketing, account management) and I think this article offers a lot of good advice.
@Penenberg Amen
This article would've been great 2 years ago. Today, it's nothing new. Could not live without Spotify. And Pandora + Grooveshark before that. MOG is good too. iTunes is irrelevant today.
You missed #17 Samsung --> @SamsungTweets
The dream of a-la-carte streaming has been talked about for a long time... Some day... some day.
@ScribeFan Good point. That "Oh Snap" is definitely not encouraging. However, if I remember correctly... Flipboard started charging. Today, Flipboard is free (at least on Android, where it matters to me).
I like PandoDaily because of posts like this. I'm now on the waitlist. Hopefully I'll be able to check RebelMouse out soon.
I would say the Interest Graph is already here. Also, a bit surprised Google+ did not get a mention when it's the best example of the interest graph in my opinion.
