A quote from a VentureBeat Q&A interview with Blake Commagere—a top third-party Facebook developer:

“Naturally I’m going to try out OpenSocial. It certainly has the potential to turn into a gold rush. And as a developer, I love that I only have to learn one new set of APIs.”

As the interview went on, Commagere left the door open to embrace both Facebook and Google’s OpenSocial. Read the rest of his insights in the Venture Beat piece.

Old Rules: Buy your way in with advertising, or beg your way in with PR.

New Rules: Publish your way in with content.

Our 2008 Multiple Sclerosis holiday project. Every run of Brainstorm's holiday, "Memory Machine," generated ¢.25 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society - up to $5000. It went viral fast - the $5k was just a memory by the time our holiday dinner started.

NorthPole, Inc.

Brainstorm's 2007 holiday blog parody. A new post everyday featured the ongoing drama of an entirely fictitious corporation replete with fictitious products. Items like the "iPlanet," NPI’s personal cosmos transport. Like Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine Happiness Machine, the iPlanet promises a “thoroughly self-absorbed social media experience."? Our content was tongue-in-cheek, but the chocolate and gifts we sent to commenters were quite real.
