And there are more joining everyday. Social media has truly come of age. A year ago, in a presentation on the topic of social networking in business, I noted that Facebook had reached the eye popping number of 40 million registered users while Linkedin had hit 8 million. This week, as a panelist on the same topic at the Town Hall LA series, I noted that Facebook now has over 100 million registered users and Linkedin has just gone over 32 million.]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/29/twittering-a-tragedy.html"><rss:title>Twittering a Tragedy</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/29/twittering-a-tragedy.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Tony Uphoff</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-11-29T18:31:55Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[The tragic acts of violence this week in Mumbai India were a sobering reminder of the shock and horror of global terrorism. My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of everyone at TechWeb, are with our colleagues at UBM in India and everyone who was affected by this senseless tragedy. The news on these horrific events also illuminated the growing pains that social media is going through as a means of getting accurate information during crisis coverage...]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/26/where-is-your-social-network.html"><rss:title>Where Is Your Social Network ?</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/26/where-is-your-social-network.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Tony Uphoff</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-11-26T01:13:41Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[I’ve been fascinated by the growth of social networking. From Facebook to Linkedin to Twitter, we’re seeing amazing levels of engagement. This engagement is remaking the media landscape too. I’ve struggled to embrace the term social networking though. Felt too restrictive in a business environment and too closely tied to the early pioneering brands like My Space to be taken seriously. Been giving this more thought however and feel perhaps I've been thinking about this the wrong way...]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/23/da-plane-boss-da-plane.html"><rss:title>Da Plane Boss!

Like Howard Beale in the movie Network, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!". Along with everyone else I've been following the dramatic turn of events in the global economy. The melt down of the credit markets has been startling and the continued fallout horrifying. I had thought however that the clueless "masters of the universe" attitude of many of the financial services executives in the face of the financial crisis was the worst I'd ever see...]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/2008/11/23/fixing-microsofts-media-business.html"><rss:title>Fixing Microsoft's Media Business</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.uphoffonmedia.com/uphoffonmediacom/
