Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – WordPress

January 5, 2012

WordPress isn’t just for “Blogging”. WordPress enables the ethnographer to capture a whole new world of information. At Convo we use WordPress for all sorts of things. It’s used for our Website, used for client blographies, for capturing notes, engaging participants etc. Till now, I’ve not been a big mobile WordPress fan. The app always [...]

Where’d I go? About 3000 miles – 200 a Day Average

July 29, 2010

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been motorcycling through California and Oregon. I went to the BMW International Rally in Redmond Oregon, spent time camping in fairly undeveloped campsites and ran up about 3000 miles including a driveshaft failure on my bike. I thought about blogging and tweeting while away. I didn’t blog and [...]

Fixes & ideas for Twitter | what @scobleizer and I think. #13points

January 11, 2010

Robert writes in Scobleizer that Twitter’s traffic may be in trouble and offers up some ideas for improvement. I don’t buy all the suggestions, so thought I’d add my two cents. Still half-baked ideas and some great suggestions are better than what usually comes out of Twitter (eg #fixreplies, #retweet, etc.) So my responses spurred [...]

My Response – #ThreadingBlogs and #TwitterStreams II @stoweboyd @euan #attention

January 11, 2010

Stowe writes in /Message: Stuart has jumped ahead to thinking of blogging as, more or less, the place we create long format writing (or other creative works, like video, audio, etc.) in order to drop it into the faster stream. The slower stream of blogs is just a tributary to the faster, more social stream [...]

Blogging Lifestreams 2012 and My Personal Cloud

January 2, 2010

Yesterday I was tweaking my blog and generally updating myself with plug-ins and what others are doing with them. When I started blogging back in 2002 I was already thinking about lifestreams. Over the years I’ve blogged about and tried out Linkblogs (before bookmarking / del.icio.us) to both track content I see, help share it, [...]

2010 – Good Time to Start Making Changes

January 1, 2010

For the last few days I’ve been working on a number of different blog projects. It’s had me looking deeply into templates again. In the spirit of experimentation I decided to start knocking around the blog template here too. I’m determined to fix some of the things that need fixing and more importantly the content [...]

Blogging Lifestream – reposting from October 31, 2002

January 1, 2010

(This post Oct. 31, 2002 will be commented on tomorrow and this description) Info pours into my e-mail daily, magazines into my mailbox and there are few other forms of media I am not confronted with. Some of this is useful. Some is thoughtprovoking, and some stimulates new thinking and ideas. Sometimes weeks later, in [...]

.@biz Twitter Management should consider new Tweet Button rather than settings for Location Based Tweets. eg, map-it or TweetPlus

August 26, 2009

Adding a location option to each tweet will revolutionize Twitter and in fact any micro-blogging service. However, I’m worried about Twitter’s implementation. The thinking (see content below) suggests that people will have to “turn it on” and it will be off by default. Twitter Blog: Location, Location, Location We’re gearing up to launch a new [...]

Blogger Relations

July 20, 2009

On Tuesday this last week I found myself in a learning lab at Fort Mason and then later out on the Marin headlands at…….. I’d been asked to be both fly on the wall and scribe. It was an opportunity to take a moment out, on my time and yet get exposure to thinking, reporting [...]

Should blogposts expire? Should comments? What’s your policy?

April 8, 2009

What do you do when you no longer want your blog? What if a post you wrote once contains information about someone else and a link to their expired blog and they want to disappear from the net? And no… this blog is not past its expiry date, although at times I’ve thought about giving [...]

Conversational “Bleeting” – The blog + tweet + ing = jazz conversations link

March 13, 2009

In 2003 I wrote a few posts on “Conversational Blogging“. Today my sentiments are similar yet the approach to conversational blogging has changed primarily facilitated by Facebook and Twitter. Today Twitter must be part of your blogging persona, to be successful and part of joining a “jazz community” Conversational Blogging (Unbound Spiral) (April 21, 2003) [...]

Taglets – Promoting Your Blog Content via Tag Comments

February 5, 2009

I’ve just installed the taglets plug-in created by David Beckemeyer. It associates the tags for each blog post posting the blog title and link as a comment on the tag. You can then monitor “taglets”. So for example I have set by default a fixed tag for “stuarthenshall”. Thus all my blogs will also send [...]

Twitter and my Blog

February 4, 2009

Just a couple of those idea requests partially stimulated by a chris pirillo’s little tweet today. I seemed to get a flurry of twitter comments and thoughts today all of which I’m very thankful for. I’ve always been keen to keep my blog integrated effectively with Twitter in some way. This provides a few notes [...]

Sharing Links Delicious or Twitter? or Both?

December 30, 2008

Here I am doing a little catch up on my blog and reviewing some posts that are drafts. May just publish them. As I opened it I also had one of those observations. Twitter is usurping my Bookmarking and I’m torn about it. I liked the gesture that bookmarking enabled on Del.icio.us enabled. It allowed [...]
