Knowing when to shut up

I’ve always been very talkative. Maybe it’s because I’m a social learner. Talking through things helps me learn. Maybe it’s because I like the sound of my own voice, who knows.
I’ve talked written about the importance of learning to listen.This is a very important lesson to learn as an organization. As an […]

like father like son

Every now and then I marvel at how different our children’s lives will be compared to ours.
The above photo is of me doing my MBA homework while my youngest son, Seth, plays games on PBSkids.org. When I was his age my father was getting his Masters and I was watching Sesame Street on PBS. […]

Conversation Matter: Bridging the Social Media Gap

Last month Michael Brito contacted me about a project he was getting ready to launch. I’d met Michael at a conference last year, he had left HP right before I started working there. He went to Yahoo and now is at Intel. Michael’s idea was to […]

Social Media is Journalisms Future

Newspaper editors aren’t happy with the changes in the Associated Press’ rate structure or the CEO’s comments that I mentioned here. With as valuable a service as they provide it seems to me like news papers and the AP are heading down separate paths. It will take some bold moves from some inovative […]

Scoble Throws in the Twitter Towel

I just saw Robert Scoble present at the Media Relations Summit and a big part of his presentation was about Twitter. Then today this popped up.

Social Media and Theology

PC(USA) - Office of Theological Education - Social Media Presentation
I just found out that the Office of Theological Education for the Presbyterian Church used my New Media vs Web 2.0 definition for a presentation.  It’s always a little surprising to me what happens to your content when you put it out there.

Blogs, Ad Networks and the future of the Associated Press

I first mentioned a rumor reported on TechCrunch about Federated Media receiving $50 Million in funding. TechCrunch reports that the rumor is indeed true. It will be fascinating to see what they do with the money. While they aren’t saying just yet, I’m certain that they do have a plan. […]

We still need definitions before metrics.

This is an absolutely amazing post By Ross. I’d pull quote the whole article but here’s a start. Do yourself a favor and go read the whole thing and then send it to everyone in your marketing group and then every marketing manager in your company.

Is Ubuntu becoming the generic Linux distro?

I run Ubuntu on a laptop at home. It’s what I’ve been using to teach myself some basic coding skills. I love it. While not quite perfect it’s far and away the best Linux platform for your “Linux Curious” n00b (like me).

Not “Noteable” Enough for Wikipedia? Biographicon Wants You

I’m so doing this. I’ve often thought it would be cool to have a wiki entry to list all the stuff that Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn don’t cover. Ars lists a few other sites, I’ll have to check a few of them out first before picking one.
“Go on, admit it: you have at […]
