The biggest news this week (for me anyway) is that I finally got my Google Wave invite. YAY! I haven’t spent more than 15 minutes logged in yet, so I can’t say much about it at this point. I will most definitely write up a blog post about my adventures on the Wave soon.
“Meme” is the word of the week, with a great article from Ad Age about “Meme Marketing” that I thought was very thought-provoking. Also, news about Yahoo!’s microblogging platform called “Meme” which has opened its API to third party developers. (Never heard of Yahoo! Meme? Don’t feel bad, I hadn’t either.)
MySpace hires a former MTV executive Nada Stirratt to become the new chief revenue officer, overseeing ad sales globally. This move is in line with MySpace’s goal to become the niche entertainment/music social networking site, and I think it’s smart. Reorganizing its business model around this niche is the only way MySpace is going to be relevant, and I’m rooting for them.
