Twitter throws another hand grenade in the swimming pool, and decides that photo-sharing is something it needs to control.

The bigger question isn’t just photo-sharing (although why didn’t they buy one of the existing players instead of a odd partnership with Photobucket?) but their larger…

The main lesson here, I think, is that for all the talk of “leadership” and the like, the most successful CEOs are just the CEOs who happen to sit atop the most successful companies.

Technorati Media CEO Richard Jalichandra joins Brian Solis on Revolution to discuss the state and future the blogosphere, social media, and influence.

One of the fascinating things they discuss is the growing importance of professional blogging, the growing influence of blogs among consumers and the adoption by mainstream media of blogging.
