Gives you something to think about, huh? This stuff that’s so natural to us is new and game changing. Who knows what will be different in 5 years time? I can’t wait.

I’m giving a presentation at Carleton for my Seminar course on October 30th. Title and abstract is below – slides coming soon! Title: Conversation 2.0: Twitter Abstract: The advent of Web 2.0 changed the internet. It went from an information medium to a communication medium. Recent developments have made that communication increasingly real-time. Services like […]
I don’t know if this is particularly harsh, but I consider anyone who regularly promotes the same website without declaring an affiliation to be a spammer. Sometimes a well-disguised spammer, kudos to that, but a spammer nevertheless. Note – this doesn’t include people promoting their blog on Twitter. I tweet posts from my blog that […]

I’ve got some more stuff to add to it, but I’m pretty happy with how little time this has taken (coding time, perhaps 10 hours?). There were 3 phases […]
I love Twitter, but a lot of people seem to think it’s completely pointless. So I find myself having these conversations where I try and convince people it’s not completely stupid, actually I’ve even convinced a couple of them to give it a go. I’ve laid out my arguments below. Information Gathering There are tons […]
