If you’re reading this post, then you probably came here via Twitter. You’re on Twitter, I’m on Twitter, but who isn’t on Twitter – or who’s on Twitter, but not really here (meaning inactive). This (slightly snarky) thought process was sparked by reading, 80%+ Twitter accounts inactive, but core users more committed, courtesy of dirkthecow [...]

what social media means to me.
22Jun09I was recently asked a series of questions by a friend and classmate:
What Web 2.0 applications do you use? Use the most?
What do you see as the benefits (personal, professional) of using Web 2.0?
What are the challenges. restrictions, downsides to Web 2.0?
Where do you think Web 2.0 is headed?
How would you recommend a business make [...]
I was incredibly humbled and inspired by Doyle’s recent comment regarding my declaration of setting digital boundaries:
You are working at the edges of a lot of this stuff, and your experiences, reflections, and wisdom is very important to share. The currency of human relationship is really evolving here. Its possible to know a gazillion people [...]

the facebook bridge
27Nov07I’ve been trying to put a finger on my perpetual gravitation towards Facebook. It’s starting to feel a bit like a “bug drawn to light” route – and my intent is not to continue bullying this particular tool. But I think I’ve finally figured it out.

Building Walls in Facebook
There are, of course, still millions of college students who post anything and everything to their profile, with no qualms about who sees it. Call it negligence, call it expression, it doesn’t matter. What does matter, and what interests me, is the growing group of students who [...]
