My, my, but we’re a serious bunch. This post is inspired by a YouTube video that my Twitter buddy Geoff Livingston posted recently. The video is called “20 Silly Twitter Remarks” and if you want a good chuckle, take 3 minutes and watch it. As I was watching, two thoughts occurred to me. First, for…

The Walls of the Social Media Bubble Are Getting Thicker
I’ve spoken before about the social media “bubble”. You know, this warm and cozy place where all us Twitter-loving, high tech super early adopting thirty and forty somethings spend a good chunk of our lives. We have our own gurus, our special buzzwords, and our own geek-a-paloooza assortment of Dungeons and Dragons inside jokes and…
Am I Breaking Up with Social Media?
It’s not you…it’s me. In 2007, I was introduced to social media at Podcamp Toronto. I happened upon a group of amazing people, many of whom I’m happy to call good friends today. What they were doing that weekend was remarkable. They were figuring out new ways to communicate, collaborate, do business, and build communities….
How to Succeed in Social Media
I had a little conversation on Twitter with @SonnyGill last night. Sonny and I don’t chat that often, but we do float around in and out of each others’ radar sometimes. Last night we got to talking about our names. You see, Sonny confessed on his blog that “Sonny” is not his real name. I…
Creating Spaces
I’ve been thinking about spaces a lot. There are many different ways we create spaces. There’s making emotional space, for your friends, your family, or that special someone. There’s physical space, as in the space you create for your home or your working environment. There’s the relationship between space and time, where you need to…
A Story of Selflessnes
Once upon a time there was a guy named Dom. Dom needed some stuff, to help make his life a bit better – to help him get around a bit more. Dom asked his friends to help him out. But Dom wasn’t content to just make his life better. He wanted to make others’ lives…
Why It's All About Stories
I met someone for the first time recently. They asked me “What do you do?”. The story of what I “do” has changed over the years. I used to just say “I work for [insert company name here].” Then after a while, I started to identify more with the actual work I was doing. “I’m…
Taking Back Twitter
I know I know I know. I promised not to write any more posts about Twitter. But, one of the things I like to do on this blog, besides breaking promises, is talk about how new media is evolving. And Twitter, well, it’s kind of the evolutionary story of the year, or at least the…
The Day Twitter (or Facebook, or MySpace) Died
I’m watching with interest today a post written my my friend Danny Brown yesterday about a fake Twitter site. You can go read the post, and the comments if you like (WARNING: some of the comments contain some off-colour language). This isn’t a post about the fake Twitter site, and it’s not a post about…
What a Change of Scenery Can Do
I’ve been on the road this week. Hubby and I have been touring around the American Midwest, spending a couple of days in Indiana, then hopping over to Ohio. We leave tomorrow, to drive back home. It will be a 12 hour-or-so trip. I really like road trips. More than flying, actually. Flying, as much…
