TwitterThe filter bubble in social search.
January 24, 2012 - Ray Cromwell posted an interesting comment on PandoDaily. Well worth thinking about: “People talk about the “filter bubble”, it’s 10x worse on social networks.”
The Point of Convergence
January 24, 2012 - I read a number of great books last year. Four of my favourites are Crossing the Chasm, Good to Great, The E-Myth Revisited, and Tribal Leadership. Each one of these books presents a different scale, or ranking system, that helps leaders evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their organization. Each one of these books also shares traits with the other three books. With that in mind, I came up with this little diagram.
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)
January 23, 2012 - Today I learned about ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs.

Shoddy Product Placement: Subway + Hawaii 5-0
January 21, 2012 - I don’t have a problem with product placement. Brands surround us in everyday life. But when writers of a television series go out of their way to plop a minute-long commercial in their program? That’s just too much.
TED Talk on SOPA, PIPA
January 20, 2012 - Yes, SOPA has lost support of the Senate. But everyone needs to understand what lobbyists and politicians nearly did this week. Trust me – this isn’t over. Similar bills will come back, time and time again. The best way to fight it is to educate and inform.
SOPA + PIPA: A threat to social media & online communities.
January 18, 2012 - Online communities are the lifeblood of the internet, and they play an important role in society. The following is all opinion, a stream-of-consciousness documentation of my thoughts re: SOPA & PIPA, and how it threatens social media + online communities.
SOPA & PIPA will affect everyone, everywhere.
January 18, 2012 - SOPA & PIPA are two pieces of American legislation that would have a negative impact on the freedom that the Internet provides. If you think you’re unaffected because you’re not a US citizen, think again. This isn’t an American issue – it’s a global issue.

January 13, 2012 - I’ll be back at CSI Annex this weekend to help out with the Intro to WordPress workshop from Ladies Learning Code. The all-day workshop is being led by the fabulous Wes Bos. He did a wonderful job leading the last WordPress workshop from LLC, and I look forward to seeing what improvements he’s made for round two.
