Reverb Using Anonymous Reviews For Client Apps?
The last time I criticized AstroTurfing, I caught a surprising amount of flak.

Which Social OS Will Your Enterprise Choose?
For years, Facebook and Twitter have maintained a friendly coopetition of sorts, with neither one taking a firm stance against the other. However, if you believe that Mark Zuckerberg does not actively contemplate strategies for either acquiring Twitter or rendering it obsolete, please think about the landscape and monetization drivers that aren't yet readily apparent to us as everyday consumers. This may seem like the "Social Media Summer of Love," but in the end, there are billions of dollars and users at stake here.
