The Value of Information
Having information is clearly losing value because by the end of 2011 half of all Americans will have all of the information one would need right in their pocket on their smart phone.
It is being said that we are in a higher education bubble right now that is getting ready to burst because the information that you would acquire in college is available online for free. Sure the quality may be better in a university setting but the price of that information is getting ridiculous. What’s more, there is hardly a reason to commit such information to memory, whether to pass a test or excel in a career, given that I can simply reach into my pocket and invoke any number of data I may have paid money to learn in college.

My Twitter Has Been Hacked | How to Fix it
Has your Twitter account been sending spam direct messages to your followers? Lately I’ve seen a lot of Tweets like this one:

I’ve shared this analogy with a lot of people and even mentioned it in a post or two.

Most churches are putting up the audio or video of their Sunday message on the web these days and that’s a good thing. I’ve been tinkering with Spotify since it recently became available for the US market and I’ve found that it can be another content channel that your church can tap into.

Content Push | My Current Tool Box
I get asked quite a lot about what apps I use to push my updates and content to social sites so I thought I would give you a look at my tool box. I also wanted to write this down for myself as I consider how to roll Google Plus, which I love so far, into my work flow.
I use Twitter and Facebook and I treat both spaces very differently in terms of content. I have said in the past; Twitter is your coffee shop and Facebook is your living room. If you’re still posting all your tweets to Facebook you need to read that.
None of this is revolutionary; it’s just a reference I can send people to.
