Social Media

It’s not the platform, but the creative idea

January 30, 2010

Provide enough information for your friends to be able to identify you — but not so much that someone could use information to steal your identity.
Consider making your profile private so people you don’t know can’t “scrape” information and images from it.
Even if your profile is [...]

Using Twitter as a lifeblog

March 7, 2007

When I first saw mention of Twitter, I really didn’t pay much attention to the service. My initial thought was here comes another time waster. Recently, I saw more mentions of Twitter and decided to check it out. After a brief period of use, I’m intrigued by the possibilities.

The day after my story was Netscaped

October 15, 2006

I’m not sure if there is a coined term for Netscape like “slashdotted” or “digged” yet, but my recent post on the troubles I saw with Netscape was promoted to their home page Friday and I saw heavy traffic to my site.

The new Netscape is a joke

October 12, 2006

The morning of the shooting in Blacksburg, Virginia I wrote a post that I updated during the day briefly chronicling the events as they occurred and my personal perspective as a professional working in Blacksburg. It was not meant to be a major journalistic piece, just a blog post from a citizen. Just for the heck of [...]

Tagging experiment

October 12, 2005

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little behind with tagging. At first I didn’t get it, but I’m starting to see benefits.

Yahoo 360 Review

April 5, 2005

I’ve had a chance to use the new Yahoo! 360 (thanks Mindsack) and the following is my review.
I can’t say that I’m terribly impressed with Yahoo 360 and I will not be using it anytime soon for blogging. Everyone is comparing it to other blogging tools, but I’m not sure if that is an appropriate [...]
