Betrayed by The Huffington Post? I want my Virtual Lives separated!

February 12, 2009 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

It is clear that I intend to keep my blog anonymous. Not that it matters to anybody anyway since in the grander scheme of things, I AM anonymous: one of the masses, does not matter whether my name is known or not. However, in the unlikely case when someone at work or a family member [...]

Metablogging: Maybe we are all egomaniacs…

February 7, 2009 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

and if we were, or, if I were, I would not be sitting here at 6 am worried about my being an egomaniac and what all this blogging and twittering and facebooking says about me as an individual. Is it not enough to live an anonymous life? Or, Why is it not enough to live [...]

I repeat: There is NO FREE lunch. Only Freemium.

February 2, 2009 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Chris Anderson (the chief over at my favorite mag, WIRED) is coming out with another book, FREE, this summer. As a precursor to the big PR blitz for sure to come, he penned an article on WSJ, “The Economics of Giving It Away“, published today. Mr. Anderson is the god of generating buzz words (think [...]

To Tweet or Not to Tweet…

January 14, 2009 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

Upon learning my having joined the latest phenom which is Twitter, my male co-workers asked me point blank, But, WHY? Why not just use emails if you want to talk to people you know? Why not use TXT? You can email to an entire group of people if that’s your reasoning for using Twitter (“one [...]

Metablogging

January 14, 2009 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

I came up the term “Metablogging” on my own in my last post: blogging about blogging. I am a genius. For safe measure, I googled the word and darn, it has been written to death. So now my hope is to meta the meta, a blog about the blogs that blog about the other blogs. [...]

Where do people find the time to blog? And the Huffington Post’s guide to blogging…

January 14, 2009 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

I am seriously puzzled.  I have checked out the “competitions” out there: do a google search (or a google blog search, even better), and there are a lot of suburban moms out there, clicking away. Many of them are writers, professional even, were or still are.  Thank god!

October 6, 2008 a picture is worth a thousand words

If Rob Cottingham is not a genius, I don’t know who is. Again, Mr. Cottingham’s post together with his musings here. There are times when I wonder if there’s something wrong with the fact that I anticipate, say, the next Macworld keynote or big Google announcement more than, say, my own birthday. But then I [...]

Define “Workaholic”…

October 6, 2008 a picture is worth a thousand words

I love this one! You can see the original (with proper credits) here. The best part is the first comment: “Hey, you should try my solution to the social web – get yourself some kids. Then you have no time for social networking…” My sentiment indeed.
