After months of rumors, yesterday Google launched their Google+ project. Project, mind you. Not product. We’ll talk about that later. But for most of the day my Twitter feed was on fire with complaints of not having access to Google+ (we geeks are a wh…
Sign of the times.
I ran across this twitpic photo earlier this week. It’s of a woman named Anne Gerwig who is being sworn in after winning a runoff election for a seat on her Village Council in Florida. From what I can Google, Gerwig has used social networking to her advantage; she even she has a Facebook fanpage […]
Game on.
Okay, I feel compelled to tell you right up front that I am, most definitely, not a gamer. Repeat after me: I am not a gamer. That being said, I have somehow gotten caught up in the newest social network lunacy called foursquare (“Check in! Find your friends! Unlock your city!”). It makes me giddy, […]
The crowd in the cloud.
sym·po·si·um (sĭm-pō’zē-əm) A meeting or conference for discussion of a topic, especially one in which the participants form an audience and make presentations. A collection of writings on a particular topic, as in a magazine. A convivial meeting for drinking, music, and intellectual discussion among the ancient Greeks. Saturday was the long awaited arrival of […]
Twitter frenzy.
Jon Stewart had a segment on twittering last night that was rolling on the floor funny. At least, it was funny to me. But it also provoked some thought into our love affair with Twitter going mainstream. If you didn’t catch it, go ahead. I’ll wait. In fact, I’ll see you after the fold. The […]
One hot mess of a podcast.
I was downloading LDSC “stuff” from my camera this weekend and stumbled across some community love which kind of choked me up. Chicken And Stars is a podcast that I do along with @Reginaldgolding and @Micala, and it is VERY grassroots. We talk about local community, things that are happening now, what people are talking […]
Post-it! Notes.
Cole Camplese threw the blogging gauntlet down today. In a general post on his blog, he proposed the idea of writing a blog post each day for the month of August. After a number of favorable responses, Cole fleshed out the guidelines in his post New Rules, One Post a Day and challenged his readers […]
My twitterverse.
As we continue to plan the Learning Design Summer Camp, my twitter feed is once again morphing into a community of anticipation. We did this in the TLT Symposium, and it was a good feeling to be a part of something in which everyone looks forward to participating. In community discussions on the wiki about […]
Is that a Ninging in my ears?
I have so much I want to say about things I got to explore at Web 2008 Conference earlier this week. I have to say that, to me, this had a much different feel than previous Web Conferences. I felt there was a lot more to offer this year under a greater variety of topics. […]
A spoonful of mashup.
I’m following a new twitter friend in my twitter feed: MashupAwards. The bio reads “The best mashups on the web” and I’m enjoying the exposure to some combinations I probably wouldn’t have come across without it. I’m particularly fond of Twistori, which was first tweeted by Gary Chinn, and TwittEarth, a twitter public timeline visualizer […]
Going pro.
Earlier this week I made a critical digital decision: I made the commitment to upgrade my Flickr account to Flickr Pro. Although I joke about simply giving into peer pressure, in the bigger picture, this is actually a watershed moment for me. Like it or not, I can always find something about myself on Google, […]
![Oh Pennsylvania. You sure know how to welcome a gal back. FROM THE BEACH.
