Since the email function native to Nokia’s Symbian phones is pretty poor, I’m glad they’ve made up for it with this new app. As Pat Phelan notes, it does what it says on the tin - very straightforward and easy to get going (unlike the native app). I’m testing it on my N95 and have […]

My girl Kristie Wells tagged me to give my two cents on “best practices for social media marketing”. Well, since she asked…
I don’t buy into the idea of best practice and I can’t quite separate social media or marketing from the rest of life. (I know, I’m a total jerk and should just play along. […]

Ben Goldacre, who is generally very good at shining light on bad science, does not disappoint in his devastating account of how this scare was fed and cared for by the media (of which he is a fully paid up member). It serves as something of a defense of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the author of […]

This is the same idea as the one Cincinnati had for movies on the jumbotron on Fountain Square, just more…Californian. Qik is great, but no video can convey just how lovely Redwood City really is. Every day I feel excited to work somewhere so gorgeous and chilled out (which also has plentiful free wifi).
In […]

I’m loving 12seconds, which I’d describe as the video version of Twitter: Where Twitter gives you 140 characters to say what you’ve got to say, 12seconds gives you…Well, you figure it out.
I said that I would try to complete the 12seconds challenge every day for a month, and so far I’m sticking to that […]

I’m sure someone much smarter than I am has written about this, but I have to wonder whether the extreme prosperity of western society is to blame for the huge number of effing ridiculous efforts to legislate the social and the personal. California is a wonderful place to live, if you can ignore the strong […]

One of the best things about my work life is that I get to do cool stuff with my friends. So it is with the video widget that my buddy Jeff Nolan at Newsgator helped Qik to cook up for the Democratic National Convention. We’ve got more than a dozen Qik users on the ground […]

I still remember the first time I used a mouse, as a junior in high school, in 1994. I also remember the early web software that blew my mind and gave me a glimpse - God, if I’d only known what a small glimpse it was - of a whole new world and future. I […]

On the F train

I was supposed to go to New York last week, but had to cancel the trip due to other work requirements. Nice problem to have, and certainly one I could only dream of having when I was a little girl and fantasizing about the life I wanted to live […]

You can skip this post if you don’t know and/or don’t care about Twitter.
I am sort of obsessed with Twitter, even on days when I don’t get to use it that much. (I’ve accumulated almost 10,000 updates and more than 2,500 direct messages since April 2007 - you work out how often I tweet.) […]

Venice in Vegas (the Venetian)

Alice Bachini-Smith - whom I’ve been desperate to meet for years, and who just happened also to be in Vegas while I was, finally satisfying my desire to talk about everything and nothing with one of the smartest people I have encountered online or off - nails it:

I hate camping but I love campfires. As a kid, I always thought it would be neat to live somewhere where I could have campfires in my backyard. I imagined then that I would invite friends over to roast hot dogs and marshmallows, and just relax in the atmosphere only provided by a big pile […]
