We’re going to spend a little bit of times on Yahoo! Pipes before going forward. As you’ve seen so far, we’ve been doing a lot with RSS in building the intelligence dashboard on NetVibes. But sometimes, the content we want to aggregate isn’t in a feed form like RSS or Atom. That’s where Yahoo Pipes [...]
In the previous post, I started things by adding some basic monitoring feeds from Google Blog Search, Twitter, and Technorati to the NetVibes intelligence dashboard I’m building to monitor Tesla Motors around the web. The result looked like this.
Before I forget, I should mention that you can see the work in progress by going [...]
This is part 1 in a series of building an intelligence dashboard using NetVibes.
What’s an intelligence dashboard?
An intelligence dashboard helps you keep your pulse on…well, there’s a lot of things you can keep your pulse on. In this series, we’re going to build an intelligence dashboard to assist with monitoring Tesla Motors in various [...]
I’ve been at the Social Media Strategies Conference in San Francisco the last 2 days, meeting great people, and learning plenty.

In my previous post, The Online You, I talked about the challenge of using social media to properly portray yourself to people you may end up doing business with while providing a complete picture of who you are and all that you are about.
