Apparently Age Does Matter (When It Comes to Roller Skating)

Teeg — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:19:03 +0000

I’ve always been a firm believer that age doesn’t matter. Social media has reinforced that so many times. I’ve met teens that could converse as well as any adult I know…and adults who acted more immature than any 6 year olds I know. Which is why, when my 11 year old wanted to go roller skating [...]

You’d think with all the problems with spammers on Twitter, every real person would take great pains not to add to the spam themselves. So why then, does my twitter page fill up every day with messages like: We’re giving away a free airline ticket today! FOLLOW @Orbitz & RT this msg to be eligible to [...]

May I share a story with you? You might have heard it before, it’s one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s title is The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey. One day, a man and a boy set off to the market to sell their donkey. As they were walking, a group of people went by and laughed. “What use [...]

Forget Web 3.0, Welcome To the Now Web

Teeg — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:33:04 +0000

But, if we have to seriously rename the web, you know, the place where many of us come hang out every day and it changes because we influence in by what we like, use, want, need...if we really have to give a new name because it's changed yet again, may I suggest the Now Web?

Putting Friendfeed on a Diet

Teeg — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:55:40 +0000

When friendfeed rolled out their changes a couple weeks ago, I was interested but skeptical. Perhaps I'm one of the few, but I really liked friendfeed like it was before.

10 Minutes to Dance

Teeg — Sat, 09 May 2009 16:16:55 +0000

Throughout my day there are minutes here and there that I'm stuck standing in one area, such as waiting for the microwave to cook something for 2 minutes or watching a pot of boiling water or even brushing my teeth. Instead of spending that time doing nothing, I've begun dancing. It doesn't matter what kind of dance, or even how good it is. Some days I'll see how much ballet I remember, sometimes I do the twist.

Follow Friday

On twitter, hash tags allow you to create groups of tweets which are easily searched, or can be followed comment for comment using a site like TweetChat which I fell in love with after Connie Reese mentioned it on her blog, Every Dot Connects. The #followfriday tweets [...]

Can Sites Be Too Interconnected?

Teeg — Thu, 07 May 2009 16:10:57 +0000

Plaxo and Plurk sync with Twitter and Facebook. Friendfeed draws from most social sites and sends out to Twitter. Facebook draws from Twitter, Friendfeed, StumbleUpon, Plurk, your blog, and any other site that has a Facebook app. Ping sends your thoughts to any site you have registered with it. And on and on.Norwegian Road Sign There are many times when it's nice that you don't have to visit every single site every day in order to be active. But if you're not careful you can run into double post (or Arrrgh! even worse, triple post) issues. Like the time I forgot that long ago I had set up Plaxo to post to Twitter. AND I had set Plurk to post to Twitter. And then I decided to try Ping.fm, which posts to Plaxo, Plurk, AND Twitter.
