Sarah Perez wrote a great, insightful post about the explosion of cool apps and how, really, we can’t do it all:
What Can We Do? It’s hard to say. Early adopters are not going to stop playing with every new service, but it’s clear that we’re getting to a point where tools that centralize, aggregate, but […]
Last Friday my friend Colleen Coplick presented to the Vancouver chapter of CPRS (PR people group) on blogs and social media. I got a sneak peak at her slides Thursday night (she asked for feedback). I think she was right on the mark and didn’t have too many (26, about right for an hour).

Morning radio shows should have blogs don’t you think? There are always funny stories, community projects, contests, something to talk about. Well the morning show I listen to on 107.3 Kool FM here in Victoria doesn’t have one so, I sent Robin Farrell this email yesterday morning:

This morning I read about Chris Pirillo’s call for an easy-to-use, Drupal-based (I think those are mutually exclusive terms, imho) community system. I read the first few posts this morning about it (admittedly, I didn’t watch the video, though) and while I think it’s a laudable goal, I’m not sure how easily it can be […]
Another great post started from a tweet. Gabe Rivera posted a link to Ed Bott’s column ranting on the plethora of “me too” posts on Techmeme. The mindless recitation of what other people wrote without adding to the discussion.
