Crowdsourcing…An Experiment.

The power of the people.  That is the battle cry of the internet these days.  The gathering of people online and the subsequent distribution of their home-produced content are supposed to be at the heart of the revolution we used to call Web 2.0.  We’ve all read a lot about the impact of social media on our world today [...]

Netbooks…just say No!

I have had a long standing feud with my Macbook.  I don’t like it and it has never liked me.  Oh, I tried, I bought the thing hoping that I could be one of those people who convert after years of PC use.  I mean I loved my iPod, love my iPhone even more but [...]

Building Social Media Champions

Recently I was asked: “How do you think people in the middle of a corporation/organisation can effectively drive the use of social media to build more meaningful relationships with communities of shared interest” It’s an interesting question because it assumes (rightly so I think) that you can’t build social media use from the top down.  [...]

Reaching The Other Side

So as it turns out getting my own site hosted with a custom domain was the easy part.  Once I secured the domain and set up WordPress (WP) I had a lot of work ahead of me.  In order to have a functioning, professional looking, site I needed to find a base theme & customise it to [...]

Bridging the Gap

So I’m making progress on developing my blog.  If you recall I was trying to figure out whether I am trying to simply get my point of view out there or whether I am looking to build the most professional and entertaining site possible.  I decided to take the plunge and see if I could create something more professional.  However, [...]

    The Great Blog Gap

    Now that I’m 6 months into my blogging career (and I use the term losely) I’ve come to a crossroads.  I want more from my blog site than my blog site provider, Wordpress, offers beginners via wordpress.com and I’m not quite technical enough to be able to jump right into the more technical skills that wordpress [...]

    Happy 20th Birthday World Wide Web!

    Now that the Web has nearly reached the drinking age  (the US drinking age anyway) it makes sense to look at how she has grown up over the last 20 years.  For those of you who didn’t already know Tim Berners-Lee and the team at CERN invented the World Wide Web  in 1989 to make information [...]

  • Ping me!

    Ping me!

    Well it didn’t take that long or that much effort to find what I was looking for.  Ping.fm is the Write Once Post Everywhere application I’ve been searching for.  For those of you with multiple social media accounts this is your carpel tunnel salvation.  Sign up for a Ping account and you can post a status [...]

    WR.O.P.E them in

     

    It occurs to me, while posting to my Facebook account, my Twitter account, my Yammer account, this blog, and my private social network that a lot of time can be wasted just telling people what you’re doing. What I need is an application that allows me to write once and post everywhere I want to [...]

  • Hello world!

    Hello world!

    fu·tur·ism   (fyōō’chə-rĭz’əm)  Pronunciation Key n. 
     

    A belief that the meaning of life and one’s personal fulfillment lie in the future and not in the present or past.

    What I like about this definition is that it is short, simple, to the point and cannot be confused with any other ism’s.  I believe in the future and that is just [...]
