thumbs up/thumbs down: reinforcing twitter relationships/commercial interruptions on pandora
17Dec08Thumbs 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.

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 [...]
blogs for social change
05Dec08This 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) [...]
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).

On the one hand, I believe distractions were always [...]
space: public v. private
21Nov08How 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 [...]
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 [...]
diversity and the web
18Sep08I don’t think that I’m the only African-American edublogger but I have noticed that racial diversity is lacking in the ’sphere. Am I wrong? If not, what are the reasons? What are the implications (for the web community, students, and other stakeholders)? Courtesy of Diversity 2.5.1 (BETA)? (Comic)
Diversity isn’t only lacking within educational blogging, but [...]
grassroots use of technology
26Jun08Beyond work and enjoying a school-free summer, I have been feverishly working on the conference program for this Saturday’s Grassroots Use of Technology.
It has been such a refreshing opportunity to stretch both my creative and social wings. Per usual, my creative and socially-oriented self has been on the back burner. This project was what [...]
