All week, we’ve been monitoring negative sentiment towards Super Bowl teams by their fans.  I have to give credit for Sarah Dryden for putting in the labor, researching, digging up info and writing up the posts for an interesting angle on this match up.  All the posts are featured on our blog starting with the kickoff post on Monday (pun intended, ), Who Talks More Trash.  Below are the latest charts in our “SuperHateBowl.”

As much as I try to stay on top of all things facebook, something always slips by.  Apparently, it came out a few weeks ago and I just noticed it on my account.  Interestingly enough, the next day I was to speak on a panel last year (sound confusing?).  Made me smile, made me think about the people I met at the panel, and wondered what else I might discover I did last year “On This Day” coming up.  Talk about providing a competitive edge over Google Plus!  Pretty cool…… if you didnt happen to have a bad day on the day you posted,

Since my last blog post last year “Get a deal you would not get on your own“, Groupon has continued to grow and provide consumers with great deals from Dental cleaning to bowling, and much more.  I discuss my latest deal.

I drew a parallel to Priceline in my video, however, Groupon is more of a  a group buying service, not limited to travel services, and there is no bidding involved.  You just have to be quick to accept the deal as it is usually gone by late morning.  I absolutely love how they use twitter, allowing you to follow your local deals as they have multiple twitter accounts serving each city.  Since this video post, they have gone even more local in New York city providing local deals in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island.  Find out more about Groupon at deals in your local city at groupon.com.

I have my NYU class to thank for bringing this site to my attention, and prompted me to write this up.

Raz Cherov – a freelancing marketing consultant based out of Sydney—noticed that he was reported to have left the house on “Please Rob Me” when he was sitting in a café and put a message on Twitter about his whereabouts. “If someone really wants to rob me they’ll do it without Twitter,” he is reported to have said to a newspaper.

If the Internet is getting bigger with a few million sites added per month, it is also getting crazier. Earlier, we only had ideas popping up now and then and most of them die a quick death. However, with the ease of setting up websites and profiting from e-commerce, every idea seems to make it live. Look at the furore reported on Telegraph that the Dutch website Pleaserobme launched recently which gives a real-time update of all people who have just vacated their house or abandoned it.

I know exactly what you are thinking!

Apart from being outright stupid, it also invited a lot of trouble. Recently, privacy campaigners went on a rampage crying out for the ridiculous abuse of privacy and the seemingly potential threat this website could be for families that might off for vacation or travel elsewhere for a while. If please rob me had Twitter like messaging facilities, it would be called “robber”?

When the founders have been question about the potential threat their site could be, they claimed that social networking itself is a dangerous thing now pointing to Foursquare which is a Twitter-type application that pinpoints exact location of its users because they login through their mobile phones and look for information they could use locally, at the very spot they are standing.

I think that no matter which Social networking site you look at, inherent risk always exists with so many people congregating online and revealing their identity, whereabouts and giving the world an inside peek into their personal lives.

You choose what you want to do with your social media and you are responsible for your own safety. However, sites like Pleaserobme have no potential for business and can only harm your personal safety, while the burglars could be planning to attack your property or even you in the worst case.

With all those empty homes out there and the real time updates coming in, all the burglars have to do now is to wait for updates and take action locally. Pleaserobme.com, Twitter.com and Foursquare.com are perhaps the only tools the miscreants will need to ransack homes.

Hold on? How many of us had the same concern about facebook a few years ago. How about twitter? Will our urge to connect, share valuable tips supercede our concerns?

What’s coming next? What do you think?
