Pulled through the Krispy Kreme drive-thru on Raleigh’s Peace Street this morning to grab a pick-me-up for the beleaguered but coffee-fueled Three Ships Media team. Sidenote: “KK” was also founded in North Carolina (Winston-Salem to be exact) … Three Ships Media is in good company. With a dozen original glazed riding...

Bubbletweets : essentially video tweets – all you need is a Twitter account and a webcam or prerecorded video and you can broadcast yourself in 30 second bursts. My first exposure to this was seeing my boys Tony Kornheiser (is it bad that a 60+ sportswriter scooped me on a social media tool?) and Tony Reali of ESPN fame bubbletweeting...

I was flipping through my Facebook page this morning and came to startling realization: there is not a single difference between my social media clique, and my real world clique. I don’t use “clique” in the context of high school lunchroom politics, but in the context of my day-to-day interactions. The same folks with whom I...

On August 24, 2009, I was wrapping up a rather formal email and attempted to sign with my full name” Patrick James Morrell.” Alas, I failed. In bringing the thunder of brute force down on my weathered keyboard, the “R” suffered all if could take. Gracefully bowing out with a barely audible snapping of the plastic...

I was clicking through Business Week this morning and happened on one of their best slide shows to date. Profiling the latest book from Jeremy Gutsche, Exploiting Chaos , BW assembled its own list of 24 Ways to Exploit Crisis . Particularly as a service-based start-up in the new media space, we at Three Ships Media love this stuff. ...

Politico reported an unexpected revelation today : there are more Republicans than Democrats on Twitter. Furthermore, the Republicans are tweeting more often than their left-leaning colleagues, and gaining greater popularity. Stats courtesy of Politico via the Congressional Research Service : Nearly 2x as many Republicans as Democrats...

You know that feeling when you lean back in your chair a little bit too far, and you almost fall over, but then you triumphantly catch yourself? It’s comparable to the “just-had-a-great-idea-in-the-middle-of-the-night-and-wrote-it-down-and-can-fall-asleep-satisfied” feeling mixed with the...

Meebo CEO Seth Sternberg recently published an article on start-ups and venture capital , the first in a series of articles on entrepreneurship.

Is Twitter is about to go negative? Campaigning, that is. Recent edgy encounters between politicians and pundits on the site – and the propensity for emotions to boil over, particularly right now (see: healthcare reform, etc.) – suggest that it very well could Perhaps this was an inevitable development.
