Kevin Siskar's post, "Pioneering The Social Media Frontier With Jonathan Abrams, Founder & CEO of Nuzzel", originally appeared on Siskar.co and has been republished below with permission. The godfather of social media, Jonathan Abrams, joins us on this episode of Ambition Today. He is now the founder & CEO of Nuzzel, a new platform to discover the top news from your friends and influencers. Letting users cut through the muddle of content on social media to emphasize only their most relevant content. Previously, Jonathan has founded several other companies; Socializr, HotLinks, Founder's Den and most notably Friendster. He is also a top-rated mentor at The Founder Institute and has been extensively involved in the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial community for over ten years. After growing up in Canada and working for Nortel he became an employee at Netscape during it's prime. Abrams went on to found Friendster in 2002 before the wider adoption of, at the time newcomers; MySpace (2003), Hi5 (2003), Facebook (2004) and other social networking sites. Friendster was one of the first of these sites to attain over 1 million members. In 2012, Abrams recognized a fallacy in the market of social news readers, when the programs of the time weren’t what he was looking for: fast, easy-to-use, and social. Today Jonathan talks about his solution to this problem with his new company Nuzzel, his appearance on Chelsea on Netflix, and much more:

Navigating the seemingly minuscule Canadian computer science marketplace.

Being a first-time entrepreneur during the dot-com boom and bust.

Using social curation to launch Nuzzel.

Trying to reach a wide audience with relevant information.

The future of Nuzzel.

Why e-mail remains king in the world of social media.

Surviving in Silicon Valley by not getting ahead of yourself.

The future of the social landscape.

Who is pulling off of Spotify?

Spotify: Artists Who Have Joined Neil Young in Removing Their Music. Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Failure and Nils Lofgren are among those who've left.

Following the Jan. 24 request from Neil Young that his music be taken off Spotify due to his objection to what he says is disinformation and bad science on the streamer’s popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, a growing list of artists have joined the rock veteran in leaving the service. In short order, Young’s catalog was removed from the streaming service, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek released a statement saying the streamer would introduce an advisory on podcasts that discuss COVID. Rogan also issued a kind of apology, acknowledging some of his show’s shortcomings, and admitting that he’s failed to counterbalance guests who have fringe ideas. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Young’s action has since spurred a number of other acts to follow suit, from fellow musicians to podcasters and authors Roxane Gay, Brené Brown and Mary Trump, niece of former president Donald Trump. Check out the tally of other musicians joining Young’s Spotify exit.
