It Takes All Kinds – But will we choose them?

October 12, 2009

In a local community you also need all types. Perhaps not as simply denotes as intellectuals and doers and those who combine both, but in a community you have people with different interests and different focuses and different beliefs. Within a strong community they come together, and the struggles and debates that come from these different views bring out more completely developed ideas and often solutions that are better than those that would have come from a homogeneous community that all held one view.

The News will Find Me – But what will I hear?

October 8, 2009

One of the comments that I keep hearing about news these days is that if the news is important I’ll find out about it.  More and more people are choosing their community as a filter for information.  In Leo Laporte’s talk on New Media he said “If it is important I’ll find out about it [...]

Thoughts on The Model of the New Media Model

October 7, 2009

I just watched a great video of Leo Laporte talking about “The model of the New Media Model”.  It is well worth listening to.  He talks about a lot of things that I think are “common knowledge” with new media, but puts them together in an enjoyable speech.  Perhaps part of why I think it [...]

SXSW Bound

March 10, 2009

Purim has come and gone and the remaining exciting event for the week is the start of SXSW. Last year I was very bummed to miss SXSW and started planning towards making it this year. Reservations are made, plans for the pets are made, and a general (and flexible) plan has been made. I’m not [...]

Twitter and Links

November 22, 2008

Chances are you may have come to this post because someone (me?) twittered the link. (Or you may be someone who stops by regularly via rss or other means, for which I thank you.) At the same time I have fairly recently complained about linking in twitter. Of course a real explanation takes more than [...]

All Your Passwords Are Belong To Us

November 12, 2008

How much do you value your online identity? How often are you asked to share your login and password to a) find out your ranking b) locate your friends c) easily combine all of your feeds into one place. I would bet that the answer to the first question is – fairly highly and the [...]

Thin Air Summit – Speakers and Registration

September 8, 2008

I know my blogging about the Thin Air Summit, the New Media Conference in Colorado (Nov 7-9), has been a bit sparse here. In our Web2.0 and New Media discussions on the web one of the mantras that runs through them both is “try something beyond what you’ve done before.” With the Thin Air Summit [...]

Life Streaming and Sweetcron

August 28, 2008

Sometimes I hang back a bit before trying out a new application, especially in a crowded app space (another X app?). At other times I seem to jump in at the beginning. The past couple of days there has been a lot of talk about Sweetcron (no not corn, cron) even though it wasn’t released [...]

The Trouble with Twitters

August 26, 2008

I must confess, I am a twitterer. But you probably already knew that, and possibly wandered here from my twitter profile in the first place. I find I get a lot out of twitter, from useful information, social connections, news about events local and virtual, and more. The challenge is in taming the flow of [...]

It’s not a Fishbowl, It’s a Habitrail

June 6, 2008

In a lot of places I hear people talking about how we are in our little echo chamber, or fishbowl. I get that concept. I have talked with people who have written (and had published) books on film who when I talked to them about video on the net said “Oh yeah, my husband sometimes [...]
