Stay Away from Squidoo

I signed up for Squidoo today. I’ve tried a few times before, but then would get part of the way through the sign up process, see that they wont’ state what is published publicly and what is not, and give up. I tend to walk away from sites that don’t treat me with respect. I took a deep breath and worked my way through annoyance and signed up anyway. But let me state that registering for a site that insists I give personal information – be it my real name, my email address or my birthdate, and does NOT make Continue Reading…

Facebook vs Pensionbook

As you head into your twilight years (hey, the ‘new year’ is just a few days away), you might want to consider joining …. *drum roll*…. Pensionbook. From the wacky brain of Stephen Wildish: click to see the bigger picture. Or put your glasses on! I’m collecting orphans, waifs and strays for New Years – if you are in Sydney, looking for a *quietish* pensioner-like parteh (with a view of the bridge and harbour) to watch the fireworks, then off on your zimmer frame after a glass or two of watered down wine, email or call me. I’m in Potts Continue Reading…

Vote for me. Or Santa won’t visit you. I mean it. Australias Top 20 Web Celebs! It’s a bit echo-chambery (you can’t nominate, only vote). But then again it’s all in good fun. I suggested they use Pligg – in fact I would’ve given ‘em poor ol’ Bloggerati. But that might’ve made it all tooooo serious. By the way I wasted a vote on Trib. Heh. AND I pointed people to Wild Wicked Wanton Women of Web 2.0 on Facebook for the list of Aussie women. Oh and in the Spirit of … well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Blog: Rules of Engagement

 Online Communities, social networks  7 Responses »
Dec 182007
 

Every social network needs an etiquette statement *ignores the new-agey feel-goodies* Social networks are about trust and integrity and values. That would be shared values. Only we don’t share each others values. You might find a potty mouthed comedian funny: I just think he needs his mouth washed out. Differing ideas of right and wrong = differing values. Etiquette statements (we ‘recommend’ we ‘suggest’ we ‘ask’) and rules of engagement or code of conducts (you ‘must’, you ‘will not’, you ‘bloody well better not’) are rare on blogs. Mostly cos the blog is a one to many mechanism therefore the Continue Reading…

Three things about Twitter

 Online Communities, social networks, Twitter  5 Responses »
Dec 172007
 

Twitter is a wierd little network tool. You post up information in 140 characters or less. People can then ‘dine in’ – read the updates on the webpage. Or they can ‘Take Out’ – choose to receive your status updates on their mobile or cell phone, on an RSS reader, or get the update elsewhere such as Facebook. (dine in/take out blog post) So my three things: 1. Testimonials and Status Updates (people) One, Twitter is good for getting a brief update on the status of the people in my social network. They are either eating, applying for jobs, moving Continue Reading…

Sad News: Death of “Alive in Bagdad” blogger

Me, looking weirdly cross-eyed in Fez, Morocco. There are places in the world where we are tourists. And places where we are at home. And then there are places in between. In between places for me include Arab nations. I’ve always – since early teens – been attracted to the complexity and lure of the Middle East and North Africa. In the late ’90′s I was lucky enough to be able to take a year off and study Fuhsa (formal Arabic) at the Arabic Language Institute in Fez. There is nothing like living in a country, studying there, learning the Continue Reading…

eMarketer.com is a SPAM site…

Dec 132007
 

The First Place to Look for SPAM and the last place to look for emarketing advice One of the annoying things about hosting your blog remotely – in my case, on Google’s Blogger/Blogspot – is that I can’t block spam sites. It’s the third time now, that eMarketer.com have posted up spam comments on my blog. Tired of removing them. Anyway, don’t subscribe to eMarketer or have anything to do with them. Spammers are unethical in my book and any advice from eMarketer.com by relation, is probably unethical too, in my opinion. If anyone knows of a way to blacklist Continue Reading…

Thinking of starting up some forums and a bit of a community for a niche area you are passionate about? This is somewhat more than a “community manager” course – lot’s of strategy and business stuff, as well as ‘hands on’ managing forums etc. I’m teaching Managing a social network for business in March (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Fri | 7 Mar 08 | 1 meetings) for the Professional Development Centre of the Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Sydney (Australia). Here’s the overview: Your consumer is spending a lot of time on Facebook and other Continue Reading…

Happy 2 Million Australians, Facebook

 Facebook, Social Media Australia, social networks, statistics  2 Responses »
Dec 082007
 

About 1/3 of Australians don’t join the Facebook Australian ‘network’ (group). But sometime in the last couple of days (since last weekend anyway), Facebook signed up their 2 millionth Australian – you can see the real numbers through the social ads pages. That makes them well on track for having 10% of Australians on Facebook by Christmas. Not bad going when you consider that Facebook was only opened up to non-education (American) email addresses late last year, and only really gained traction in Australia at the end of May this year when F8 (the application delivery service into the social Continue Reading…

Raping the Web 2.0 Australian Community

Dec 052007
 

*warning potential linkbait post coming up. Heh. I’m noticing a disturbing trend of large well known companies who invite passionate Web 2.0 evangelists, or knowledgeable bloggers or bumbling social network strategists (me) to “meetings” to discuss “potential” working arrangements. These companies then proceed to question, prod, probe and otherwise force themselves on the (usually) solo operator or small business, all the while taking notes. One manager told me he had spoken to around “200″ web 2.0 people (OMG!), and developed pages and pages of notes for strategies. No paid-for business ever comes of it (nor was ever going to) but Continue Reading…

Facebook and Beacon and Zuckerberg blogs

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook is one of those rare individuals that can blog just once a year and the world cares. And there must be something in the water at the moment because both he and Sir Tim Berners Lee have blogged this month, after a years absence. Beacon is a utility in Facebook that links your accounts to about umm 50 ? companies so that any purchases you make with them shows up on their site and on the minifeed/newsfeed. How does it work? Not sure, something to do with cookies. But basically if I buy a Continue Reading…
