You have just had your first threesome and you are beginning to feel pressure to maybe invite the same person back. Having not much experience you do not know how to face that dilemma. This article will provide an opinion on how to best deal with that situation. Since threesomes involve many factors it is not possible to address them all here.

A Social Revolution

Filed under: Open Social — @ 7:59 am

In the 1980’s I discovered the Sinclair ZX81 and then the Sinclair Spectrum. Even though I was still a teenager I could immediately see the potential for using these information machines to make media and artwork (and a lot of games!). Then the Dark Forces moved in. I was introduced to Windows 95. BAD mistake. Is it any coinidence that what is running on a computer seems to reflect what is going on in your own mind ? Of course it is’nt, if you think about it. We only install, or put up with,

Healthy social networking

Filed under: Open Social — @ 2:44 am

Healthy social networking Imagine… Alan’s home page loaded as he sipped the first coffee of the day. He found it increasingly difficult to separate out the ‘personal’ from the ‘professional’. His old university friends obviously had the same ‘problem’. One minute they’d be posting some photos of a wedding, the next they’d be pointing Alan towards a conference or a new paper or a group beginning to form around a new campaign. For Alan there was the added dimension of the others he was connected

MindTouch Puts The Enterprise In 2.0

Filed under: Open Social — @ 9:09 pm

It’s not often you hear terms like application integration and IT governance from companies building their businesses on Web 2.0 underpinnings such as blogs, wikis, and RSS. So I was somewhat surprised to be smacked in the face with just that from Aaron Fulkerson, the tech-talking co-founder and CEO of MindTouch, a company that wants to be the “tissue” that helps enterprises connect all those disparate systems. I spoke with Fulkerson about MindTouch’s platform (Deki Wiki) and how it’s managin

Open Social Web roadshow continues

Filed under: Open Social — @ 2:11 pm

I mentioned earlier that the opening up of the social web has become a hot topic that’s taking center stage at many recent conferences and community events–and it seems to keep getting hotter every day. As a passionate advocate and early adopter / implementor of many of the building-block technologies (OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, microformats, Social Graph API, friends-list portability, etc.) working for a startup that’s helping define the new consumer and business ecosystem that’s emerging (bot

FlatWorld Knowledge - the publisher I’ve been waiting for?

Filed under: Open Social — @ 8:58 am

David Wiley is part of a startup called FlatWorld Knowledge. Their aim is to release digital textbooks free of charge, with students paying for the print copy if they want. What is more interesting though is the way they take the notion of the text book and make it more of a social object. So the educator can edit the book for their class, the student can interact with other students around it, and people can sell related services and content. In fact, when you view their little cartoons it mak

Why not just talk to your friends?

Filed under: Open Social — @ 1:01 am

Why not just talk to your friends? Well, we have a few of the Luddites out in the comments on James’ blog - there’s Andy “whatever happened to talking to your friends” and Bubba “Facebook is inherently evil and a waste of time” (incidentally, Ned Ludd is from Anstey, the village in England where I went to High School, in case you were wondering - though according to Wikipedia there is no proof he actually existed, which I hadn’t heard before). But I digress!While I fairly obviously disagree

FOSS and Option for the Poor

FOSS and Option for the Poor Posted on 17 April 2008 Comments (0) Tags: Linux & Open Source, Social Issues, Technology Christians worldwide are called to follow Jesus’ example of showing preferential concern for the poor. This means that as Christ’s followers, they are called to respond to the needs of all, especially the marginalized and the most vulnerable. The ideal of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is based on cooperation, common good and mutual benefit, and is in many ways consis
