Posted on September 9, 2010 by chimac| Leave a comment

These are interesting facts. Quick read.

The press release for the upcoming social media summit  in October included some interesting media statistics:    * Facebook claims that 50% of active users log into the site each day.

From .com to .org & Back on WordPress (via as lele’s world turns)

Posted on September 5, 2010 by chimac| Leave a comment

Why you might want to go to the .org version or stay with the .com version. I won’t go to .org until I get a staff.

In early August I decided to convert my wordpress.com blog to the wordpress.org self-hosted version. I was thinking the transition would be easy…and it truly was. However, I realized I lost many of the built in luxuries of the .com version. The .org version affords the blogger the opportunity to have more control but you must have the time to seek out the right plug-ins and tweak, tweak, tweak till you get it right to your liking. Honestly…I … Read More

Mothers worst nightmare: Facebook wont shut down stalker.  Is this really a mothers worse fear?  Seems to me it would be to hear their child had died, not being stalked on a social network.  I understand you want to sensationalize the story, but this title goes too far.

I’m all for this. I have learned many things from others blogs. Thanks everyone!

Let’s celebrate BlogDay! What is BlogDay? BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest.

“I used to call people, then I got into e-mailing, then texting, and now I just ignore everyone.” (via Wendy Cooper’s Weblog)

Posted on August 8, 2010 by chimac| Comments Off

Is this change to written communication about efficiency or just that having control over the kind of communication is more satisfying?

"I used to call people, then I got into e-mailing, then texting, and now I just ignore everyone." From the Washington Post A generation of e-mailing, followed by an explosion in texting, has pushed the telephone conversation into serious decline, creating new tensions between baby boomers and millennials — those in their teens, 20s and early 30s. Nearly all age groups are spending less time talking on the phone; boomers in their mid-50s and early 60s are the only ones still yakking as they did when Ma Bell was America‘s communications queen. … Read More

I’m currently reading Clay Shirky’s new book, “Cognitive Surplus.” It’s a worthwhile read, with some familiar stories tied together nicely along with some jaw-dropping moments of insight and realization. This TED talk does a good job of covering a couple concepts in an engaging way. And while it’s convenient to dismiss experiments like Facebook or Twitter or blogs or lolcats as immature or incomplete in this new “media of generosity,” Shirky remi … Read More
