opting out of social media

lately i've been thinking--and reading--a lot about people who choose to out of online social networking tools. the question of who chooses not to engage on sites like facebook--and why they choose that--was posed to me by a close friend who has mostly lived his life on the opposite side of the social media spectrum from me. where i have created an accou...

thinking out loud

years ago, when this blog was very young, i wrote a post entitled "an extrovert speaks (quelle surprise!)" the things i wrote then still ring true, and i've found myself having the same conversation recently with a host of other people, primarily in the context of understanding use of social media. these conversations tend to start not with the question ...

conference curation

i got an email this week from russell davies, one of the participants in this year's microsoft research social computing symposium, thanking me for my "conference organizing/curating." and i realized that he'd perfectly summed up the process of putting on an event like scs. yes, there's some organization...but more importantly, there's a lot of curation-...

gratitude

this morning at breakfast, after listening to me bubble over with happiness about the just-ended social computing symposium, a friend told me that she thought i was the most grateful person she knew. i've been turning that over in my head all day, and have come to the conclusion that (a) she was right about me being a fundamentally grateful person, and (...
