I’ve had a number of months of quiet resignation of the ever constant flow of email spam (now unreadable PDFs of stock offers, still sweet deals to enlarge body parts I am not equipped with, great sounding mortgage offers for homes I don’t own in Florida), not to mention the torrent of blog spam that […]
I love it when curious link clicking reveals unknown gems! It happened again just an hour ago, with the result of a great video collection tool. Almost by sheer accident- discovered following a tweet by Judy O’Connell to her web 2.0 presentation on Slideshare, that I came across this nifty new site, vodpod. Here you […]
Sit, Avatar! posted 11 Jul ’07, 6.54pm MDT PST on flickr I was experimenting today with doing some live video streaming from my laptop into Second Life. That darned dog just refused to listen to my commands. Some virtual dogs are just like their real life versions.
Summary: Jakob Nielsen tosses gasoline on the flames of the blogosphere by claiming blog posting dilutes an arbitrary measure of “expertise”. A thousand blog monkeys were deeply hurt. Oh Jacob Nielsen, you had to know upon writing “Write Articles, Not Blog Postings” the ire and furor it would stir up…. well, since he likely only […]
There’s no shortage at all of cool new tools to create and express yourself on the web. I came across Voicethread via a link from Tim Lauer (linktribution!). From its site: A VoiceThread is an online media album that allows people to make comments, either audio or text, and share them with anyone they wish. […]
I’m sure the old white hairs who pull the strings at Big Business sit back in the leather chairs of the country club, and fondly remember the pre-internet days.

Dr Angela Thomas recognizes this dynamic of pleasure and […]
most people over 30 have trouble grasping why would want digital version of yourself posted 15 Dec ’06, 6.51am MST PST on flickr There used to be all this talk of the “digital divide” and it was between the haves & the have-nots in terms of what they could afford. But I think there is […]
It’s Monday, and I do not have an iPhone. The forecast is more of the same, for a long time. The mania, pro/con commentary is impressive for the sheer amount of energy generated/expended. Seriously, when was the time people camped out for a phone (yes, I know it is more than a phone)? And there […]
On rummaging through some bookmarks, I saw a number of sites I could barely remember, and a number of them were ones I had created accounts. This is the beginning of social software amnesia. For some reason, I decided to go back to one, slidez, which is not all that unique, but certainly works elegantly […]
