A planet to call my own

Filed under: Open Social — @ 11:02 am

I love planets, both the ones in the sky’s, and the ones on the web. But this post is about the latter. One of the things about the web is that you have profiles everywhere, and while openID partly solves this problem allowing me to use one user name to authenticate everywhere it does not solve the problem that people have to visit a bunch of different sites to find out about me. They need to visit my facebook profile to find out what I’m up to, last.FM to see what music I’m into, Digg to see w

Filed under: Open Social — @ 9:56 am

Esther Dyson, aka Queen of the Web, gives a powerful view in The Wall St Journal, about how personal data privacy and control is going to influence marketing and advertising. If people are operating in public spaces where they are withholding personal information and are merely another IP address washing around vast websites their value to advertisers will be limited. However, those private encalves which we see as being directly relevant to our lives, and therefore safe places to broadcast

Open versus closed environments Filed Under SOCIAL MEDIA, educational resources, open approaches, open environments, quality, teaching | Leave a Comment Quality of educational resources should of course be a concern of every educator and I believe that it is possible to be achieved using an open authoring approach like a wiki.

Having It All- From Student to Teacher

Filed under: Open Social — @ 5:41 pm

About a year ago, I read the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. After I read the book, I had what I call an “Aha” moment, seeing my life purpose clearly for the first time. Like most people, I have a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to people talking about “seeing the light”, and I don’t believe in magic pills or cure alls. I do believe that when people are ready to be open-minded about life and learning about themselves, magic things happen. For some, insight comes from read

Search engine spammers and good content taking over ranks? I have a collection of busts that make SERP spam child’s pla

Open Social Web: Coming soon to a conference near you

Filed under: Open Social — @ 8:52 am

The social web is opening up, and its seems everybody wants to talk about it. Between the technologies, companies, and privacy / control issues involved, there is no shortage of strong opinions. And at Plaxo, we\’ve found ourselves right in the middle of all the fun, both due to the continued success of Pulse, and because we\’ve been consistently vocal advocates and early adopters of the open route. Perhaps that explains why I find myself about to head out on the road for nearly back-to-back s
