June 30, 2009 :: Steve FisherAs most of you know I use Twitter for a few things but I am not very prolific on it and that is not because I don’t have things to say, it just comes down to time and deciding which conversations to join into.
“Twitter, despite its many extraordinary uses, can be a bit of a [...]
Maintaining Relationships With Pokes, Pings, Winks, Drive-bys and Twitter
June 29, 2009 :: Joe LoongBack when I worked for a big company on a sprawling campus, I used to make it a point to stop by the offices (well, usually cubicles) of friends and other people with whom I’d worked before.
I almost never pre-scheduled these little drive-bys in advance, instead just relying on a simple calculus: I’d stick my [...]

Previously, I looked at social broadcasting from a security perspective — namely, the notion that by telling people where you are, you’re also telling people where you aren’t, which could open you up to shenanigans by ne’er-do-wells, or even crime (as in the [...]

June 24, 2009 :: Shashi BellamkondaWe want to advise our readers to be vigilant for fraudulent checks that look like they are from Network Solutions.

Here, I’m going to look at social media and expanding relationships between people who are already like-minded — even excessively so — and physically near each [...]
Social Media and Major (and Minor) Movements
June 23, 2009 :: Joe LoongOriginally, this was going to be an entry about some examples of people using social media to mobilize people into action around causes.
