Yesterday I attended Federated Media’s Conversational Marketing Summit, held at the Presidio in San Francisco. Forrester Senior Analyst Jeremiah Owyang provides a good summary of the panel that he moderated: Social Media Measurement: Dashboards vs GPS. The conference wraps up today.
I’ve become a huge fan of FriendFeed over the past couple of weeks (my FriendFeed page is here). Today I came across a great Greasemonkey script that allows you to filter your Friendfeed “river of news” by service. For example, you can cut down your news feed to only show Flickr photos, YouTube videos, last.fm entries, etc. I was so impressed by this script that I created a short screencast. You can get the Greasemonkey script at Internet Duct Tape.

By now, just about everyone who is interested in Web 2.0 has seen the The Machine is Us/ing Us video. Here’s a video of the creator of that video (Michael Wesch, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University) speaking at the recent Web 2.0 conference. He breaks down each part of the video, explaining what he was trying to accomplish and how he went about producing it. The video cuts off part-way through his talk. I will post a link to the complete presentation if and when I find it.
Update:
The video from the Web 2.0 conference is no longer available. I tracked down this recap of that session.
Here’s the original video.
