Save the Date
South by Deep South is really happening. No joke.
September 26-28 in Birmingham. We picked a date that did not conflict with either a Crimson Tide home game nor a NASCAR event. As it happens, we’ll also have the 10th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival going on, so it ought to be an amazing weekend all the way through. Not to mention a full-bore WordCamp wrapped up in the SxDS proceedings.

Erasing the Objections

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] See if these points sound familiar: There’s nothing special about this technology, it’s just another way to communicate. It’s a technology that frees people to express themselves, storing their input sequentially. Innovators are jumping on a bandwagon, which will really be just a fad. There’s a limited base

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] There will be a theme for the next week or so. Disruption and Adjustment. Before last week I had never heard of Ryu Murakami, but he’s at the center of an interesting case that may amplify the tremors of technology. From Robert McCrum in the Guardian: Earlier this

I don’t like talking about current events much, because they have a tendency to soon be not-so-current. But one in particular may signal the tipping point of a trend that is of extreme relevance to the way you and I find useful information. The rumor is that Google is developing a true Facebook competitor called
Owning My Links

Part of the reason I started noodling with WordPress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around,
Unearned Legacies

Yesterday, I pointed out how Facebook’s automated attempts at peppering me with relevant information had the unintended consequence of creating a virtual seance – connecting with the dead. I don’t really blame Facebook per se, because no one has yet filed to archive Scott’s wall as a memorial account. However, there are still major gaps
Justice in the Digital Age

I was a cardboard-haired teevee news weasel in a previous life. I’ve never regretted leaving, and have no desire to be in a maelstrom today. Two quick thoughts. One is about the massive hoax perpetrated on the media yesterday. A group of activists spoofed the identity of the US Chamber of Commerce, and got several

You can try to “control the conversation,” but it’s only an illusion. Marketing guru Seth Godin is selling a new “service” to aggregate mentions of a company’s brand. He’s going to aggregate you whether you want it or not, and for a fee he’ll allow you to edit half the page. (Here’s my full commentary
Almost Like Radio

via blogtalkradio.com This morning, Geoff Livingston asked me to fill in for his vacationing partner Richard Laermer for this week’s “The El Show” on BlogTalkRadio. We talked about: the Age of Experts (who don’t always do their homework) balancing life with social media the future of journalism, as it melds with social media I mentioned Scott Karp

One of the great things about connecting with others online is the chance to be part of some interesting discussions. Such was the case of a conversation I recently had with Andrew Fowler, one of the principles at Newsvetter in Portland. He was concerned about the lack of truly relevant information parents were getting about
Less is More on Facebook

More than a few people have commented about the new Facebook Lite interface. I will simply add the impressions from a co-worker of mine who is blind. I suggested it to her this morning as we were discussing social networking, and how difficult some of the navigation can be. I had a hunch that the Lite

Ike, what gives, inquired he?!
They won’t be holding the Sidewalk Film Fest this year, Holy Oh-Eight? No word on’t at the site, said he…I’m gonna email ‘em and kindly plead — supplicating myself, even, grovelling if I have to, mark me — to be pumped onto their electronic mail distribution list, aka mailing list.
Do you think they’ll call out the national guard?
