Hey Eduardo!

My wife was at a dinner recently– she ran nto an old friend and colleague we’d not heard from in a while. Eduardo mentioned “but I read Alan’s blog all the time…”, so Eduardo, this blog post is for you to see if you are there- send me an email and our next lunch meet […]

My Big Left Toe is in Facebook

Last time I checked, the toe was into learning objects, but now it is FB bound? Why not. Flickr is in Facebook. Slideshare just entered Facebook. Twitter has been there a while. My dog is in there. The parade goes on and on. I am nodding in agreement with Stephen with some skepticism as to […]

No More Bad Behavior with Bad Behavior on the Prowl

Over the years, angry blog posts about spam is my most frequent blog post activity (well, until Twitter came out). I’ve been long resigned to scripted onslaughts of attempts to insert unwanted content into the comment space as a SFOL (Sad Fact of Life). For the most part, I’ve had excellent luck with Spam karma […]

Sick Mashup

Make That 9,999

I pretty much just delete most twitter friends requests… I already track most of the folks I want to. But after about the 6th or 7th “Xxxxxx is following you” message from the same person, I got a creepy feeling like someone was breathing bad breath down my neck. If I have little patience for […]

Time for a Twitter Blog Post

It’s just an un-scientific hunch, but twitter seems to “got game”. Jaiku flickered and faded. Pownce came out with a nice interface, threads, but I’m still tuned to twitter. It’s this dog’s rule that there is never a ‘best’ technology, just the one you happen to be using at the time. It’s going to all […]
