We All Have Multiple Personalities.

Earlier this week, I read an article from Neal Perkins, Identity is Prismatic, a truly fascincating interpretation of the relationship between not only online and offline identities, but whether or not we are being limited to a singular, almost pre-defined identity. Neil talks about Chris Poole’s opinion that online sites like Facebook with their timeline are aiming to lock our identities...

Going analog in 2012

No, I am not abandoning my digital life (I think I would end up shaking, sweating and muttering to myself in a corner if I did). When I say ‘going analog” I am talking about social networks. This week I read an article from MIT, explaining that much of Twitter’s success is due to the power of real life social networks and that got me thinking about how many people on twitter have...

Verizon to Charge Customers $2 Fee When Paying... →

Alright AT&T, I guess you are not the devil. Verizon might be though: Verizon will soon charge you $2 for paying your bill online/via phone. WTF. parislemon: I give AT&T a lot of shit (and rightfully so for jackassery moves like this). But it’s important to remember that their main competitor, Verizon, is also a sleazy carrier. Today brings the perfect example of that. The largest...

Stowe Boyd: The End Of An Age, Or The End Of The... →

Apparently, the tech blogging bubble has officially burst. stoweboyd: Jeremiah Owyang wants to declare the end of the golden age of tech blogging, or, even more portentously, he says The tech blogosphere, as we know it, is over. This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but at face value — and leaving aside for the moment the specifics of his argument —…

So 2011, You're Almost Over...

I guess this means that it is time to think about what I learned over the course of this past year and perhaps add to my previous resolution. 2011 was a tough year for a lot of people. For many it was an amazing year, for some, it was a year they are happy to see come to a close. For me, I am somewhere inbetween. Anything can happen No matter what you do, it can all change. You can get laid...

It's resolution time. Here we go...

Usually I am not a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. It is just 1 more thing that I want to do and then get distracted (that happens pretty easily). I cannot remember the last time that I made a resolution; I think it was in the 9th grade and resolved to get a boyfriend in the coming year (oh, the awkward teen years). So when I decided to make a resolution this year, I decided that it better be...

Are Creative People More Dishonest? - Carmen Nobel... →

Are creative people harder to trust? Maybe a little bit more dishonest? Apparently, yes. stoweboyd: Steve Jobs was theorethically channeling Picasso when he said ‘Good artists borrow, great artists steal,’ but he may have been onto something. It turns out that creatives are more likely to cheat, according to new research by Francesca Gino and Dan Ariely: Francesca Gino Carmen Nobel via HBS...

The “social salad” is ending; the market is saturated and users don’t have enough time. Wonder if that will stop another one from coming out.

Why the New New Twitter wins.

Maybe I am still in the honeymoon period, but I love the new new twitter iPhone app. As someone that uses Twitter for personal and professional reasons (its part of my job description), the new UI and architecture make it easier to use and more delightful to use. There are a series of little touches that just win me over and some bigger changes that seal the deal. First, the big things. The...
