Across The Universe With Social Media

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Many years ago I read a science-fiction story that reminds me of what we’re experiencing today. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what it was called, nor who wrote it, so if you can recognize it, please let me know. I’d love to read it again.

Love And Hate Relationship With Digg & Reddit

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Somehow I thought that a group writing project on social media would attract lots of attention and get many participants, but I was wrong. Even my part of the mega project, which was dedicated to Digg & Reddit, has managed to get less than ten submissions. I wonder what had happened?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

It is easy to get overwhelmed by hundreds of various social networking sites that seem to be growing like mushrooms after rain, each one claiming to be the next big thing that human society won’t be able to live without.

Connecting People

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

I was trying to come up with an appealing title for this post when I realized that I’ve been badly brainwashed by the overwhelming number of blogs that bombard us with their top-notch marketable headlines.

All participating blogs […]

Social Media Mega Project: Bloggers Unite

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Earlier in December I asked all of you Would You Participate In A Collaborative Social Media Project? Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. This group writing project (and please, if you can think of a better name for it, do let me know) will be different from all others because it will unite […]

Would You Participate In A Collaborative Social Media Project?

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

For quite some time I wanted to host a group writing project dedicated to people’s experience with social media sites. The power and popularity of sites like YouTube, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook grew and continues to rise exponentially on a daily basis. Some of them even brought new verbs into […]
