Sorry about the confusion, I was typig too fast to notice I put it on my old (no longer used) blog here.
Every so often I come across posts and declarations about particular social media platforms where people are laying down rules about how I will use [...]

I’ve moved blog.

I’ve moved! I started up another blog at www.mollybob.wordpress.com called “Mollybob Goes to School”, can’t really explain why, just felt like the right thing to do at the time.

Education for change, not education as a result of change

I just read a really positive article on Flux about Intel, Microsoft and Cisco getting together and to call for a change in the way we “do” education called Time for a change? Largely I agreed with it. Certainly, we need a change, we need our education to reflect the way we do business…. wait [...]

Twitter – Facebook. Apple – Orange.

So a while ago I read a post called Twitter versus Facebook: Should You Choose One? on the twitip blog.  It got heaps of responses from people, me included. I didn’t feel the urge to respond in detail until @valeriestevens raised the issue on a twitter post again today that got me thinking. Thanks @ValerieStevens!
So [...]

Flickr perversion: a response

For the last two days I have been seeing @courosa tweet about Flickr perversion. I’ve looked over his Flickr photos a few times and they convey to me that he’s a family guy with a cute little boy and girl.  I wasn’t entirely sure what he was talking about, and just thought it was about inappropriate [...]

How the facebook friend came to be

Social networking for good: my manifesto

I’ve finally fallen off the deep end on my soapbox and spilled my impassioned rant onto this space.
You cannot disconnect me
I read alot about workplaces banning access to social networking sites. It always makes me get up on my mental soapbox. It often makes me reach for my iPhone just to make a point to those [...]

Twitter marketing. It’s a balance.

Once again I came across Atherton Bartelby’s FOLLOW FAIL: The Top 10 Reasons I Will Not Follow You in Return on Twitter today.  It’s a good and easy read that I suspect many Twitter followers will empathise with the sentiments in the post.
I too especially dislike people overtly pushing their own products on Twitter and it [...]

We’re still “here” if we’re not “there”. Online meeting etiquette.

Today’s post is a bit of a rant, and a bit of an etiquette note about meetings which involve groups of participants from different locations meeting either via teleconference or virtually online.
I was recently in a meeting which was conducted via teleconference and webinar and some of the behaviour in this meeting made me uncomfortable, [...]

What’s your social media persona and why would you want to know?

On the theme of identity and personality again, I found some interesting work by Adrian Chan a few days ago that I’ve been meaning to give a bit more thought to. Chan recently wrote a post on the Social Interaction Design blog is about online personas. It identifies us according to ten categories according to [...]
