I'm Confused By Starring, Liking and Sharing in Google Reader
July 16th, 2009 I'd like to think that I'm a smart guy (not always wise, but smart) and someone who uses social media and understands what he's doing most of the time, but I've become confused by the actions I can now take in Google Reader.
Until recently there were 2 options "Star" and "Share" (optionally with a note). It was nice a simple, if I read an article and thought it was noteworthy I'd share it, through Google Reader's RSS feed, it gets slurped up by FriendFeed and pushed to Twitter and Facebook.
I Want to Put the Genie Back in the Bottle, Remove My Name!
July 9th, 2009 On a few occasions I've blogged about the reactions in twitter to things in the outside world such as the election, President Obama's Speeches and technical outages on services like gmail. In the course of this I quote a few random tweets that illustrate what's going on. Of course I only use public tweets and credit the tweet with the tweeter's name.
Today I received an email from someone who's trying to remove all instances of himself from the internet.
At The Risk of Being an Outcast; I'm Not Sure I Like Facebook
June 13th, 2009 It’s funny, like a lot of people last night I stayed up until midnight to make sure I could grab my name in the facebook land grab. I have to admit, like being on line at the apple store when leopard was released, I wasn’t worried about not getting my name, I was doing it for the social aspect on FriendFeed and Twitter. As this was going on I got to thinking about facebook.
Digital Spring Cleaning Stage 1
April 7th, 2009 This year I decided to give myself a bit of a digital spring cleaning. With the help of Artisteer, which I have previously reviewed, I have given most of my sites a new theme. The changes aren’t radical just a new fresh look. I’ve also built a few new sites.
Twitterversary2: The Quickening
April 4th, 2009 OK, I’m a little late posting this (by a week or 2). I’ve been distracted by other things but it’s still worth getting out to you all.
Tweeter Getter, Tweepme and Twitter Popularity Contests
March 16th, 2009 Been reading a little about tweepme today after it popped up as a buzzing and trending topic on twitter today and have been thinking about this popularity contest people call social networking.
A few months ago tweeter getter was introduced as a free service that “helps you” get new followers in what is really a ponzi game, you put your name on the list, you become a follower of the last X people to join, the next x people who will join follow you. When you join and at other point you automagically tweet:
RT @garymccaffery has a crazy idea 19,350 new followers in 30 days Check it out link
Listening and Social Networking
March 15th, 2009 While I was watching Evo do his weekly Social Media Triage yesterday morning, I got to thinking about how much of social media is about listening. It’s a message that came up several times during the video and I think it’s a skill that’s rather underrated when it comes to social media.
A flood of OpenID and no where to Drink
October 29th, 2008 Google today announced that you will be able to use your gmail account as an OpenID account. This follows a similar announcement for Microsoft eariler in the week. Yahoo, has been doing something similar since the beginning of the year. There's been talk that these companies embraced OpenID, something I disagree with.
Twitter and Plurk: two entirely different Girlfriends
September 19th, 2008 I've just gotten back from a 2 week break from my normal hard core interweb access. I was away for a number of personal reasons, which I care not to get into today (it is however not a trip, I'm just using that as an example below). More of the issues with plurk vs. twitter differences are.
Things I blame Scoble For
May 30th, 2008 Inspired by twitter blaming @scobleizer for their stability problems I have decided to use him as a scapegoat for everything.
