GoogleWave – read TimO’Reilly and “What would it be like if…???”

June 1, 2009

Tim O’Reilly’s Google Wave summary is as good as any I’ve seen. I loved his description below for it was exactly how I felt when I saw the demo. Since then I’ve seen more cautionary posts and comments. Yet this demo was as good for me as seeing David Gelertner’s post many many years (2001) [...]

What could Apple see in Twitter? Are Tweets – MobileMe 3.0 Notifications? Is Apple really David?

May 7, 2009

I keep reading Apple + Twitter stories and no-one seems to have a clue why it might be a good idea… or a very bad idea… or simply unnecessary. What almost no one does… is tell me a story of why it might be a good idea. This is a crude little thought experiment. An [...]

TweetDeck gets Facebook Integration – Leaves me with questions.

March 16, 2009

Today I downloaded and installed the latest Seesmic for Facebook app. I tweeted about it and received a quick notification from @rojajimmy about the latest TweetDeck beta. Seems TweetDeck now includes Facebook — or will soon officially. I must admit I have a few questions (below) as a result. I expect there will be more [...]

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 are it! – They really could be!

January 14, 2009

You remember the old “Tag your are it! Now there’s a new potential game. A couple of weeks ago I learned what was keeping David and Mark busy. It’s called Taglets. What is it? Well we know what “tags” are. In fact tags are used a lot. They help us organize things, or remember where [...]

My Year End Review and Thanks

December 30, 2008

As 2008 closes I find myself pondering what’s good and bad about 2008. I find it hard to do this with complete clarity.   Overall I’ve had a really excellent year. 2008 started with a couple of exciting projects and this post is ultimately about recognizing those that helped me most in 2008. 2008 took [...]

Social Media Strategies – San Francisco Web Guild

October 29, 2008

I’m at the Social Media Strategies conference today. We’ve had the introduction and I’ve frankly been experimenting with QIK. I recorded most of the first session by propping my iphone against the open screen of my laptop. The video is here. I’m also tweeting along in the background. I’m fascinated by the approach and comments [...]

New Work – Ad Hoc Learning vs Work Skills

October 22, 2008

Had this thought today that I’d ask my Twitter followers what I should blog about tonight. I got some great challenges from VoIP to social media analytics and work! They are topics I must have an opinion on although potentially each is like crawling into a minefield. I’ve fortified myself with a glass of Cognac. [...]

Social Media or KM / KM or Social Media

September 23, 2008

I sat in earlier on a session on the Future of KM. There are three very different people on the panel. I’ve been listening with half an ear. This means what I write may have nothing to do with the context of the session. However, part of the reason we come to events like this [...]

Changing the Twitter Conversation – Adding Talk

July 29, 2008

A good week ago my father said to me I know when you are busy you stop blogging. It’s never really intentional it just gets cut out of my day and each day forward makes it more difficult. For many reasons I’ve also been spending more time on Twitter. When Twitter first launched I thought [...]

What Happened to Twitter Tags & Groups etc?

May 28, 2008

Ton Ziljstra writes a recent post on Conversation Symmetry and Twitter. I’ve used much of his logic in managing my Twitter so far. However I’ve really fallen behind on “following” and must address that. Concurrently all the recent “twitter outages” affect how I view it and force me to double check the content is current. [...]

Surf the Channel – Change Behavior No Cable TV

May 22, 2008

Dan York cannot give up his landline. For many of the same reasons I’ve not given up on mine. Luca says do it. I think there is more to this trade-off than just the landline. Dan or Luca haven’t talked about their Cable TV or digital entertainment costs. I think they are quickly merging with [...]

GupShup – Chatter or Twitter for the Masses?

May 21, 2008

Why aren’t mobile operators offering Twitter like services? Probably because they haven’t seen GupShup or it isn’t on their radar yet. Om Malik picked up on it earlier, then he’s connected to the investor. GupShup has over 4 million subscribers. So I’d actually expect it to be bigger than Twitter before too long. GupShup means [...]

Is iPhone Lust Global?

May 15, 2008

While recently in India, Dina and I explored the iPhone factor. We saw it in the wild (eg. people using them) and talked to 18 to 24 year old leading-edge mobile users in Mumbai. We were both left a little shocked! While focus groups aren’t statistical research and Mumbai is hardly an Apple stronghold; the [...]
