The Facebook Like Button: Not Working Right Now

This blog has never been in the business of scoops. But I just might have bumped into one.

For two articles in a row the Facebook Like button is not working for me. First I thought maybe I am not signed into Facebook. Not so. I was signed in. Then I thought maybe it is just on one site. But when it happened for two articles on two different sites I figured I had come across something. And I am sure others have noted and reported. But I just wanted to throw it in as well.

Facebook being a site that has never had a fail whale.

Twitter’s Pitch Deck for Big Advertisers

I never doubted Twitter was going to make money, lots of it. It is a new platform that offers potentially deep engagement. There are so many data collection points. There is atomic level penetration. It is so appealing. But I guess it takes a Dick Costolo to pull it off. The guy is hard nosed about it.

Facebook wants to be your online bank

It is hard to map the world's social graph, like Facebook has, and not be able to monetize it. I can see Facebook going into ecommerce, I can see Facebook going into banking. Facebook is the successor company to Google and Google remains red hot as a tech company.
