This March I’ll be taking graduate/undergraduate students to SxSWi for the third year. (Last year I had 46 students, with zero arrests!) If you’ve been to SxSW before, you understand how intense the event can be. If you haven’t been, it’s like a rapid dive into the deep end of the pool that has you feeling like you know very little about what’s going on in the world...
I love Flipboard. It’s an amazing tool and I’ve recommended strategies in the past. I’ve been spending more time on it lately and they’ve been doing a great job of suggesting topics for me to follow. When I open the app, it takes me to the Daily Edition, which is an aggregate of all stories across “all” my interests. This is a great idea but I notice that when...

However, I didn’t create one until about 4 weeks ago. I spend a tremendous amount of time...

It’s a really an amazing experience and now has around 20 million users. On the off-chance that there is a rock on top of the rock...
I posted a recipe for a personalized Twitter feed back in the Summer of 2010. A lot of things have changed in that time and I thought it would be a great time to write an update. Let me start by saying that this recipe is for research purposes and NOT personal branding. I’ll bullet it out to keep it simple. Twitter – Create a Twitter account and make sure the name is something that...
So . . . I’ve been collecting stats on the iPad as they roll in and I’m now convinced of several things The iPad is device emphasizing engagement: meaning because of it’s intuitive interface and the experience it affords, it’s inherently more compelling, on a biological level. (No joke. The keyboard and the mouse are abstractions that we’re only now shaking off.)...
