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 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 [...]

space: public v. private

21Nov08

How do you define [your] space - public v. private,  physical v. virtual? This is something that I’m continually pondering as I reassess my involvement in various physical and virtual communities. There is only so much time in a day, and I strive to ensure that my participation is intentional and focused. There are public [...]

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 [...]

addendum to social networking defined

31Jan08

Following an AM conversation with my husband, it was brought to my attention that the difference between “networks” and “networking” wasn’t clarified in my previous post and it is a difference worth noting.
“Network(s)” (i.e. social networks) refer to ones own immediate social group. A network of people who are not strangers, but known individuals brought [...]

social networking defined

30Jan08

Excerpt from danah boyd’s post:
“let’s define our terms: what is ’social networking technology’?”
In writing Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship, Nicole Ellison and I wrote many iterations of the definition of the term “social network sites” and why we chose to use this instead of “social networking sites.” For a good 20 versions, we [...]

built-in self-destruction

30Nov07

I promised myself that today would be a “get a jump on Christmas shopping, clean the apartment and study for my accounting final” kind of day. Therefore hours at my computer and blogging was not necessarily intended to be in the picture. However, I simply couldn’t resist sharing this interesting (and entertainingly written) article. Enjoy.

the facebook bridge

27Nov07

I’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. Facebook provides context for a multitude of issues that’s [...]
