thumbs up/thumbs down: reinforcing twitter relationships/commercial interruptions on pandora

17Dec08

Thumbs up: I’m loving the direct messages from Twitter! Recently, I have received a handful of direct messages from folks that I have started to follow (thank you). What a wonderful way to thank people for following you, further enforce the online relationship, and promote the other aspects of your virtual presence.

how much is too much, what’s your personal quota

10Dec08

In recent conversations, the question of how much is too much keeps finding it’s way into the discussion. Everyday I go through a routine of logging into Facebook, firing up Pandora, checking my blog stats, visiting LinkedIn, sifting through my RSS feeds, updating my Twitter, all while sipping coffee, checking my email and outlining my [...]

the tribune co., what’s next for the economy and the news business

09Dec08

I know, I know. I wasn’t going write, or even be online, this week. However, I’m not really writing anything, just spotlighting this morning’s piece on NPR.
The economy was already hard to ignore, but now the recent filing of the Tribune Company makes it impossible to ignore. We’re not only talking economically, but traditional methods [...]

blogs for social change

05Dec08

This is my parting post prior to going offline in an effort to dig completely into finance, for Thursday’s final exam. With a little luck, I’ll survive with all limbs in tact.
However in order to satisfy my own blogging desires, and to leave you with something worthwhile, here’s Beth Kanter’s Top 10 Nonprofit Technology (NPTech) [...]

bright, shiny and new doesn’t always equal effective communication

04Dec08

3. Tim reminded us that a medium is just a “means of human communication.”  Media include everything from printed newspapers and blogs to smoke signals and church sermons (Courtesy of Tim Walker, Social Media Breakfast Austin).
I love this statement, it’s simple, to the point and something that is rooted in my own ideology. It’s all [...]

how do you define literacy

24Nov08

Now, how do you define “media literacy?”
The definition, and our associated opinions, no doubt vary widely, based on our own experiences, knowledge and prejudices:
Specifically what kind of literacy is being measured? Let’s see the effect on SAT reading and writing scores. Let’s see book sales data demographically.
On the one hand, I believe distractions were always [...]

texting like it’s going out of style, is it

20Nov08

At dinner this past weekend, a comment was made about text messaging: it’s going away. I was quick to guff at the statement. My rebuttal was equally quick and overly confidant: it’s not going anywhere, but then I interjected one caveat - the role it presently plays within our personal, professional, physical and virtual lives [...]

unlimited creative potential: magcloud and mankind mag

05Oct08

I stumbled upon MagCloud this morning while visiting one of my favorite Indie artist/design blogs, Design For Mankind. What makes this even more exciting is that the third issue of mankind mag is available!  What pulls this all together is when I went to purchase a copy of the issue - and was pleasantly introduced [...]

intangibles, roi and social media

04Feb08

The one class I’m taking this semester is managerial accounting. While I wasn’t so much a fan of financial accounting I found it an invaluable source of knowledge. Managerial accounting is much more my speed, but offers a unique challenge - a level of ambiguity in a realm of much gray and cost accounting methods [...]
