The question I’ve been asked the most in the last 24 hours at Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston is “Why are you here?” People want to know what value you are seeking from their session and from the overall conference.
I go to conferences for many reasons. This particular one I am here because I want [...]

This is a question I ponder frequently. Have you focused on building a micro network and a nationwide network, or have you isolated yourself by walling off your garden?
I’m big on the idea of helping people and networking at a hyper local level. I also believe that your network is most effective if it also [...]

You have to be well rounded. You have to take chances, and stretch yourself past where you think you can go. Do you make sure to do this on a regular basis?
I am an idea person. I don’t like to see a good idea die on the vine, choked by excessive caution, hemming, hawing or [...]

I talked with colleague Alex Howard (@digiphile) about #fixreplies and other recent Twitter changes like the new email notifications and URL tracking via email. We posted our discussion on @pistachio’s TouchBase blog today. You can read it over there.

Overall, my reaction is nothing but positive to this sudden awakening of awareness for Twitter and other social [...]

Today as I read through the top tech stories listed on Techmeme, I stumbled on a little nugget: an Adobe AIR social aggregator I hadn’t gotten my paws on yet! Called Skimmer, the AIR application aggregates users’ social streams from Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Bebo and Flickr into a a single continuous flow. And aside from [...]

The iPhone’s next update, 3.0, was just unveiled yesterday.  For all of you that don’t own iPhones (which includes me), you might very well be wondering how I can connect the progress of a single phone to the advancement of mobile social networking as a whole.  I’m going to explain, so try to keep up.

I just got my first iPod Touch, and suffice it to say that I’m officially hooked.  In fact, I’m more than hooked.  In less than 24 hours, I’ve effectively decided that lugging around a Blackberry Curve with the wonderful Touch is too much, and that I need an iPhone.  Leslie called the iPod Touch a [...]

By far the question I have been asked the most this month is “How do you feel about kids under 18 using Twitter?” (This is second only to “How do you feel about porn stars using Twitter?”, by the way.) I think what people are truly asking with the subtext of that question is “Do [...]
