The Social Stream is a mindfield of information, but is the information healthy? I am tired of the lists! I am tired of the stream of stuff. Is that all you have got to pull me into your net? Lists to tell me what? How to do this, how to do that, when, where, why, who and how all rolling around the stream like they meant something. They could mean something! Instead they mean link bait, and I’m no fish, and I know you aren’t either. Come on you darling of the digital age, give me more than this.

The State of Humanity! We are living in times that beggar belief but for the news telling us in real time what is going on, or what they want us to know what is going on. People died on a boat and the captain did not do enough, or fulfill the role of a captain to his crew and his passengers....

Without pictures on facebook, twitter and other social sites who would know? Soon this may all change! Video is coming to town this year in a big way. Recently I listend or rather watched an audio presentation about the coming changes of engaging with people online. That means you and me. It...

Recently, as in just this week, I got an iphone 3gs and a plan of unlimited talk and text for $35.00 bucks! The phone came from my daughter who had moved onto bigger and better things. I was using this iphone for playing music and listening to audio content that I wanted to review, and that...

This is how it feels when you do something and anticipate the results!   I recently closed the doors for a while. I wanted to do something with the blog and the results are nearly completed, but I couldn’t wait to get back into the blogging saddle. Why? Because I found out how...

What happens when the shell breaks in your social media experiences? For me it heralded the end of the beginning, and about time too! It has been around 6 or 7 months since I entered the blogging arena and I think the shell just cracked open to let me out. I started social-tango as a way of...
