I’m an Omnivore. I like technology.
I like Twitter. It really allows me the chance to meet interesting folks and learn stuff about the Internet and social media that I can share with everyone. Take for example the great folks at Burson-Marsteller. The introduced me to the fact that the Pew Internet & American Life Project created a study that will […]
The Issue of Social Media Sustainability and Durability
So this past week I’ve been mulling around on Facebook and it got me thinking about the usability of social media. Is this interactive form of marketing applicable in ALL circumstances? I don’t think so. Taking my work in tourism as an example, social media applications like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Dopplr, Seesmic, Qik, […]
Offering my two-cents on the Twitter-Seesmic war
Okay, so there’s not a war between Twitter and Seesmic. In fact, everything is quite cordial…no problems whatsoever. So why did I call it a war? Well I thought it would spark some interest in this posting. Richard Scoble recently posted a Seesmic video in which he explains why he finds Seesmic better than Twitter. […]
Meet the searchable Twit
I came across the Terraminds website through, ironically, a Twitter by Robert Scoble who called it a “very nice Twitter search”. I tested it out and it’s actually quite remarkable. If you have a Twitter account, you’ll notice that the only “search” that you have is to find the people that you are looking for, […]

Search for your political vote
Just read an article from Techmeme that was posted in the New York Times today about how politicians running for their party’s nomination are heading to Mountain View, California to reach out to the people of Google to spread their message about why they should vote for them in the presidential primary. The article talks […]
From Twittering thumbs to extreme Utterances and to Seesmic expressions: the Evolution of Communication
I’ve noticed over the course of the past few weeks, there has been a huge evolution in how people communicate in the digital age. If you’ve been on your cell phone and also on the Internet, then sending and receiving text messages isn’t anything new and is used quite often by the younger generation (those […]
Twitter Wants to Know What You’re Doing
In case you didn’t know, the Washington Post has an I.T. blog that they launched in early 2007 where they discuss all the new innovations relating to technology. They dub it as a “user’s guide to the 21st century.” There was a posting on July 31 where they talked about this new start-up company called […]
