  Bye, bye Twitter…? What’s the alternative? Grumble, Social | (2)

  I do love Twitter, have always forgiven it in the past for being buggy and unreliable, but it seems now it's reached a point where I say WTF?!? Why should I waste my time with this? No seriously. I can't use it reliably anymore. I want to communicate with people. I want to use it to update *stuff*, from IM, phone or web. I want to know that it will do what I expect it to. I could before, but not anymore. It's so full of bugs, that it has lost (almost) all value to me. All my ...

  Twitter fail Social | (0)

  The past few days has seen alot of down time from Twitter.  In fact, according to Pingdom, Twitter has unsurprisingly had the most down time out of the most popular social networks.  People are becoming increasingly reliable on Twitter.  Where it was previously a bit of an inconvenience, it is becoming a hindrance for people who rely on it as a communication tool. It's natural to complain, but it's also easy to forget.  Twitter are innovating, have a hugely popular tool and maintain the love and commitment from the community.   I don't depend on Twitter, but many people do.  I do ...

  DIY organising Social | (0)

  My latest book purchase has been Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky.  Which basically talks about how technology (not just the internet) has made it ridiculously easy to get on with things, do stuff, bring people together and make the difference. 5 or 10 years ago it wasn't so easy, it is now, if you really want to.  It doesn't mean that everything you do will make a difference.  The cost is failure is now so low - it doesn't really matter if things don't go to plan.  This makes it really easy and encouraging to experiment.  And experiments can lead ...

  Blogging is over rated Social | (3)

  Blogging is over rated.   The  noise hurts. Lack of passion wastes my space. Too many people are being sold that blogging is the solution. Perhaps this is why people don't trust bloggers. Perhaps people need to stop being a blogger and start becoming a friends.

  What does your personal site look like? Social | (2)

  As I ponder in improving my website, (it's something I'm not happy with at the moment), I've been thinking about how I should approach it. Perhaps personal site phases have progressed something like: Static site - Hey, look at me...isn't this cool, I've got a (literally) flashy Geocities website. Blogs  - I've got something to say, get updates, come, read and contribute. Social Networks - I don't really want to write anything, but do want to participate, network, be social and make connections.  My basic site shows you where I hang out. Micro blogging - ie. Twitter.  A mini blog with social features.  I can ...

  Video Blogging or Vlogging Social | (0)

  A few months back my lovely husband bought me a camera. It took me a while to realise that it takes decent videos. I've been going a bit crazy and experimenting with it all. If you are interested in random mini bits of my life you can follow the videos on my Tumblr account - http://rosiesherry.tumblr.com/

  Does Social Media devalue search? Social | (2)

  Something I've noticed over the past few months is a significant reduction in my use of Search Engines. What I've found is that I've developed my own way of finding information, this use to consist mostly of Google searches, but now it's different.  Focused social networks, Twitter, RSS/Blogs, word of mouth, co-working at The Werks (!) all play a much greater part of in my decisions of where to go and what to choose. Thinking about it, I use search engines (Google) mostly for tracking new the buzz on certain keywords. Interesting times lay ahead, I think.

  I came across this cracker which, IMHO, hits the spot: Check out the Gaping Void post for more reasoning.

  Experiments and The Social Media Ebook Social | (2)

  My business has been an interesting experiment over the past couple of years.  I didn't call it an experiment at the beginning, but that's what it has been and it's what it continues to be. The truth is, I think most things going on the world are experiments, some are just more predictable than others.  In the world of technology and the internet we all try guess what the future may hold, but that is what it all is, a guess - some more educated than others.  There is so much happening and changing constantly that it all just has to ...
