Who's Your Mayor? Philanthropy Meets Foursquare | Social Enterprise
Who's Your Mayor? Philanthropy Meets Foursquare | Social Enterprise: "Blanketing BART stations in San Francisco since mid-June are public service ads urging passers-by to use their cell phones to 'drill the oil industry.' Another Twitter campaign? Guess again. Think Foursquare, the new mobile social network which a number of nonprofits are using to drum up some money and a crowd of supporters -- online and off."
MySpace Resuscitated With UI and Social Messaging Makeover? | Fast Company
MySpace Resuscitated With UI and Social Messaging Makeover? | Fast Company: "MySpace is still alive, which may not be surprising, but the fact that it's alive and kicking is a bit of a shock: It's due to give a sleek revamp to its hideous profile pages, and has bought Threadbox to rejig its social messaging skills.
The news about a revamp to MySpace's profile pages first came via a tweet from a MySpace executive, but then MySpace confirmed it via a short statement: 'We're testing a new look and feel of our site among users' it noted, adding that clients seemed to like the changes thus far. 'As always, we're interested in hearing feedback from our community as we roll out enhancements to the user experience and look forward to sharing more details with you in the coming weeks' is a much more exciting phrase to read, though, as it points to a more thorough revamp en route."
