I found this fascinating quote today:As Chris Brogan puts it, time management is important if you don’t want to get lost in your social media work. Set a certain amount of time for your strategy and stick to it. That way, you have time enough for other things that you need to do.socialmediaphilippines.com, Spending Time on Social Media, Dec 2009You should read the whole article.

Some of you might recognize the title of this entry from the Stevie Wonder song, "These Three Words." The song, actually, covers many of the same concepts that i'm talking about: intimacy, interpersonal relationships, relational development--not to mention it's one of the best songs in history from a musical legend!But progressing to the point for today. The question that has prompted this

Indeed, a question as old as the first transmission of the first data bytes between computer terminals: can relationships be built, and sustained via digital interaction?In a study(1) on communication apprehension (the tendency to become nervous in face-to-face interaction), researchers Michelle Mazur and Ryan Burns studied how communication apprehension either increases or decreases when people

I know, I know, that's probably the question if you were one of the exclusive (READ: one of five) people who have had the privilege of reading my blog--especially since the last time there was an entry was over a year ago; And despite it being ridiculously overdue--good things come to those who wait! But let's get some housekeeping out the way first: What else I've been up to As I'm sure several

Im back, after a long but uneventful Labor Day weekend. I think that it was this break that has inspired my latest entry. I had an uninterrupted opportunity to browse the web and explore several sites that I had previously planned on visiting in a systematic pattern (which I probably will still attempt to do--for the sake of classification!)So among my latest discovery is a site called

Today i'm looking at folksonomy. Ineed, the word does seem to connote something reminiscent of that thing we use to hold dear in America, but which has since seem to become a figment of our imaginations. This, however, is far from what a folksonomy is.A conjuction of the words 'folk' and 'taxonomy,' a folksonomy is a term used to describe classification and categorization on the web. Most users

One of the most fascinating aspects of social networking sites is the ability to completely govern the perception of one's identity. By allowing users to customize their page to even the smallest details, people are able to control and mediate how people will view them, and to some extent, how they will view themselves.What triggered this thought episode was s segment on "The Mike and Juliet

In 2004, at a media and technology conference, the O'Reilly media conference a new term to describe the changing face of the internet was born, "Web 2.0." Despite some debate circulating between technology experts and their camps, the effects of Web 2.0 are as real as anything else about the internet. In a nutshell, Web 2.0 describes the trend on the World Wide Web and among web designers to

Recently, I've awaken to the advent of social networking sites. I haven't decided if i was just being stubborn to change or just simply naive to the fact that Myspace, Facebook, and others we're completely transforming the way we interact with the Internet. For me, it started with signing up for a Digg account. I had began to see the impact that social bookmarking was having because every page i
