I am not new to social media, having been in newsgroups and chat rooms since the early 90s. I’m also not new to information overload, as I’ve always been a news junkie and a voracious reader. But every once in a while, my life changes with respect to how I give and receive information, a...

Like everybody else, I’ve been migrating my information to the Cloud. I started with GoogleDocs, but now it’s almost ALL all there: my social graph, my online banking, my online tax filing, Facebook, Twitter, even my business bookkeeping and some of my medical data. My hard drive is pris...

It doesn’t happen every day that someone tells me it is “ok” not to be a futurist, especially if that person is a Web celebrity. It happened to me today when Chris Brogan responded to a comment I wrote on his blog post about Google Lattitude (It felt a bit like a father tapping a c...

Matthew Caldecutt's first cell phone was the size of a brick. During the mid-’90s, as a teenager in Rego Park, Queens, he bought an Audiovox model from Verizon—a clunker of a phone that could make calls and send text messages. Most of his friends didn’t have mobile phones yet, but they did hav...

Reading up on the ins and outs of LiveJournal’s employee purge got me pondering a larger topic–the idea of the continuing evolution of interactions on the Web. As some of the Valleywag commenters note, what makes LJ unique is that it’s not strictly a blogging platform or a social n...

It is invariably fascinating for me to watch how people arrive to this blog from search engines and I have already published my thoughts on why people might google “google” or “internet” but now that Google has launched a browser of its own - Chrome - there is an additional i...

There’s an interesting study released about how teens deal with nudity when it comes to their online activities. The irony is that while parents work so hard trying to prevent exposure of their children to inappropriate content made available online by adults, they should in fact be more worri...

The other day Kristen King mentioned on her Twitter feed that Wal-Mart might be selling a special model of the iPhone, with 4GB of memory, at $99.

Your early adopters are a startups dream. They use your service, tell all their friends, they report bugs, they love you, they really do. And you should know that at a point, you need to ignore them. I read about this topic in Robert Scoble’s Fast Company article this month, Passion Play. ...
