Currently Browsing: What the hell does that mean?
It’s been 13 years since I felt that way.
We were in a plane between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska during another week-long tour of some remote part of the US during the presidential campaign in 1996.  That year, we did 74 cities in 28 states in 10 weeks.  And we did it without data-enabled cell phones.   Really, how did we survive? On that...
TED
I’m working on an idea that involves TED, and needless to say, I’m energized by it.  TED is a terrific web site (and may I say culture?) where they claim “ideas worth spreading” through 18 minute talks, videotaped and posted.  By the way, do you still videotape in the digital...
Twunderstanding Twitter
There are days when I don’t twitter (gasp!) but very few when I don’t discuss it.  In my world, that verges on over-meta-communication.  It’s like talking about talking on the phone.  Yawn.  I believe it is a unique channel to help promote message and content and...
Page v. Profile v. Group (on Facebook)
Yesterday, Lindey’s (German Village) sent me a request to be a friend on Facebook.  I’m only friends with people (and those I know and like), not businesses or organizations.  I thought that people had figured this one out, especially with many other bloggers out there posting notes like...

Wiki Baby. The collaboration tool (without meeting).
Meeting The old way to work together on a project was sit down in a meeting room right? Then it got harder because folks were never around at the same time or even in the same town, so we started emailing each other and it all went to hell rather quickly as information was all over each others inboxes...
Text Messaging (aka txt msg)
One way to text, if you happen to be in a prop plane. A Blah Blah moment:  SMS means simple message service. (SOS is what you write in the sand when you are SOL.)  SMS is actually the fancy acronym for Text Messaging.  It’s done on your cell phone (if you have one and get that service). ...
Feeds and Google Reader
Grain Fed? What the hell are they talking about? “Really Simple Syndication or RSS” You may want to know this to use it, or you may want to just “get the gist” of what it means. A feed is simply like getting skinny version of a big fat website delivered to you, instead of you visiting...
