HELP! My laptop needs pimping out!
Posted on: July 30, 2008 at 9:26 pm | Posted under: Technology, social networkingI purchased a new laptop last month and it needs some pimping. Right now the lid of it just bares the DELL logo and it needs something more. If you are able to help out in this effort and send some stickers from your company to liven it up, leave a comment and I will contact you with my email address.
Facebook’s new design on IE6 - Doesn’t Exist
Posted on: July 24, 2008 at 6:47 am | Posted under: Technology, social networkingTags: design, Facebook, IE6, social networking, UI
My buddy Brian went to view the new Facebook design on IE6 on his computer at work. The problem, it won’t load! He got a funny message from Facebook telling him that they are not cool enough to support his browser. Check out the photo he grabbed with his phone and sent to me. I had to share this, because it means that either Facebook needs to become backwards compatible with their new design or he just needs to upgrade his browser 
What are your thoughts?
Cheers!
Ping.fm removes you from the conversation

There is service out called Ping.fm, with this site you can update to multiple services at one time. While this might be great for people or companies that use social networks to broadcast information, it is not intended for those that want to be in the conversation.
Yes, social media is about conversations. One of the big reasons I use Twitter is to connect with people and converse with them. If I was just sending out updates with Ping.fm, I would miss the conversation and not be using the network to my advantage.
So, while there are the fanboys of the service out there, they are missing the reason for the true use of social networks - conversations.
Are you part of a conversation, or is sending updates your only reason for social networks.
Cheers!
