  • Werewolves infect Webmasters

    Werewolf (also known as Mafia) is a great parlor game in which players try and figure out the good guys from the bad guys relying on your ability to read the body language of other players to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying while keeping your role and identity hidden from…

  • Widget Summit, a conference done right

    Earlier this week I moderated a panel at Niall Kennedy’s Widget Summit. It was the second year for this event which he co-hosted last year at the same time, right before the Web 2.0 Summit to take advantage of all the people in town. I want to give a public shout out to Niall for…

  • Mary Meeker Tidbits from Web 2.0 Summit

    I always enjoy Morgan Stanley analyst, Mary Meeker’s view into the internet industry. Her presentations are chock full of facts and figures and it’s the closest thing to a Harper’s Index for the Internet that we have. Here are some highlights from her list: 91% of mobile users keep phone within 1 meter reach 24×7…

  • BarCampBlock and the Great Beyond

    I had a great time at BarCampBlock this past weekend. Regretfully, I could only attend on Saturday but got to soak in the scene and definitely will chip in and help out in future BarCamp events when I can. The excitement surrounding the sessions reminded me of the early BloggerCon events that got me into…

  • SXSW Panel Picker – Pick Me!

    South-by-Southwest Interactive was probably the best conference I’ve been to this year in terms of bang for buck. Each of the panels was engaging and I was always learning something new. Part of this is because the panels are chosen by those planning on attending. Out of the 680+ topics proposed, only 80 will be…

  • Portable Social Networks

    Very happy to hear that Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordon will be at BarCampBlock this weekend to talk about their ideas around portable social networks. I’ve done a fair bit of thinking about this problem as well but could do with a dose of feedback to solidify my thinking. I have a good feeling there…

  • BarCamp Palo Alto next weekend

    I’m very excited that I have time to check out BarCamp next weekend in Palo Alto. This will be the first BarCamp that I’ve been to. I’ve been to workshops and sessions put on by Chris Messina and other folks affiliated with BarCamp and they’ve been really good so I’m sure this will be great.…

  • $100 off Blog Business Summit in Chicago

    Robyn reminded me that MyBlogLog is sponsoring the Blog Business Summit in Chicago in mid-September. I attended one a few years ago when I was first getting into blogging and it was a great place to meet other corporate bloggers and swap best practices. If you’re a blogging for your company or thinking about starting…

  • David Weinberger on the Miscellaneous

    One of the great things about working at Yahoo is that on any given week there’s a brown bag lunch with someone interesting or provocative. Posters around campus promote these bigger draws and I subscribe to an internal mailing list which lets me know of the others. I try and make it to as many…
