Social Network Vandalism?

26. July 2010

Seems that there was an announcement to hurry and blast your messaging around the social Web on as many platforms as you could in one click. I see more and more people I’m connected with doing this. There are three social networks (SNs) that I read with some regularity: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I have [...]

“Too Busy” Phenomena spins-up with the economy

25. May 2010

0 Comments

In a conversation with a very dynamic sales executive (from the B2B chemical sector) today, we discussed how people are “too busy” and often hard to reach. We agreed that this seems to be ringing even truer these days. One huge reason behind this is that when the economy took a dive, many companies thinned-down [...]

Spankings (or prayers) for Mark Zuckerberg

To all my praying friends, you’ll want to spare a moment for Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook) because he’s about to get his ass spanked. First, the user community is thrashing him over privacy.

Quick notes: It won’t replace [...]

Mowcasts: Geoff Livingston | iPad | James Andrews

On the notes of podcasting, I wanted to elaborate more on a few: Geoff Livingston: I have great respect for Geoff and first came to know of him back in 2007 when he authored Now is Gone. He was gracious enough to take time from his busy schedule and share himself with us here in Memphis in [...]

Mowcasting: Mow grass, consume podcasts

19. April 2010

The warmer seasons mean, amongst other things, lots of time outside cutting the grass (about 4 hours each mow) and my weapons of choice are a riding mower, Droid packed with podcasts, and earbuds that attenuate ambient noise. The mower is a John Deere because I watched my dad go through multiple brands before settling [...]
