Look Both Ways Before You Cross The Tweet

November 10, 2009

Have you ever heard the expression, “Open mouth, insert foot”? Do you know what it means? Well, if someone’s saying it to you, you’ve probably said something you shouldn’t have. It begs the questions: Do you think before you speak? Do you think before you tweet? Before you send an email? I’m often astounded by [...]

The Wisdom of The Crowd

October 8, 2009

This isn’t the post that I intended to write today. Sure, I’ll probably clickety-clack that one out, as well, but I’ve got some other things that are weighing heavily on my mind. Why are we so keen to follow the crowd? Why do we have such a strong need to do what everyone else does [...]

September 30, 2009

Today, I’m happy to introduce you to The Constwellations! A project I’ve been working on for some time, The Constwellations explores how we engage with Twitter (and the social web, on the whole) … how and why we use it.

You’re Doing It Wrong! Wrong, I Tell You! WRONG!

September 24, 2009

I am often struck, in the online space, by how quick people are to judge others. By how people rush to point out how someone else is doing it wrong. Oh, yes. Taking cheap shots, ridiculing others, or otherwise belittling people seems to be a favorite pastime ’round The Interwebs. “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!” While [...]

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

September 15, 2009

I don’t understand all of this … sniping. When it comes to Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed … whatever … each of us has a favorite. But what’s with all of the vitriol? Grown people, professional people are practically foaming at the mouth over things as small as Facebook adding @ tagging as a feature. It’s the [...]

Are You A Responder?

September 10, 2009

Responsiveness. How are you with that? If someone sends you an email, leaves you a voice mail message, text, or attempts to connect with you in some way, how and when do you respond? Do you respond at all? What’s your order of importance? Clients? Friends? Sure, those are a given. But riddle me this: [...]

Where Do College Students Stand On Tech?

August 22, 2009

I happened on a copy of an alumni magazine published by Loyola College in Maryland. In this issue (Fall 2009), the college polled 123 students about their personal technology use. The results are pretty interesting! And there’s one student who still has a record player (does anyone, other than me, miss the snap, crackle and [...]

Your Affect is Chafing My Effect. Now, Lay Off & Lie Down.

August 19, 2009

I can’t take it, I tell you. I just can’t take it anymore. I need to know why it is that grown people — educated people, no less — can’t seem to grasp basic and, yes, I’ll say it, simple rules of grammar. Why is it so hard to understand the differences between “your” and [...]

You Can’t Stop Me, You Can Only Hope To Contain Me

August 18, 2009

Can you think of an industry that has to deal with a more constant barrage of PR-related idiocy than sports? OK, maybe politics, but that’s not so much an industry as a giant trainwreck, constantly in progress. But I digress. Sports. An industry that is in as dire need of some good PR and social [...]

Is Facebook Really Twitter’s Bastard Stepchild?

August 5, 2009

What is it that people have against Facebook? Why is it seen as a lesser medium than Twitter? I’m fascinated. As I flew across the country last night, I decided to catch up with some friends on Facebook, and by chance, got involved in a conversation about how people use the site, and more interestingly, [...]
