There are a lot of wimpy "Twitter Tip Lists" out there; this is NOT one of them. These 100 Twitter Tips go from insightful Twitter toddler level to explosive Twitter-bomb advanced. Even if you think you're a Twitter social or Twitter business pro, you might want to start from the beginning. (Read More)

Election time is coming in the US, and suddenly your votes are more important than your money. At least that’s how Michael Moore sees it, whose new movie, titled “Slacker Uprising”, will premiere on the net for free, on September 23, followed by a DVD which will be released through Amazon.com and Netflix on October 7. Blip. (Read More)

Out of the hundreds of articles and posts out there on how companies should utilize social media and Web 2.0, CNN seems to be one of the few major corporations out there that have paid attention. CNN is one of the few broadcast networks with an expansive line of shining examples in the Web 2.0 space, from basic RSS and book (Read More)

: Ironic, I guess, considering that many people think of CNN as yesterday's news. Yet they're the first to adopt social networks. Hmm. I gave up on CNN a long time ago, when they started devoting coverage to people rather than news (Paris Hilton isn't a story, no matter what she does. Neither is Lindsey Lohan. That stuff belongs on E, not on a news network.)

: I think that while Rick promoted Twitter on the air, there was very little proof of that real interaction. I think. For real interaction, http://twitter.com/gustavreporter was on the ground, providing live Twitter updates. Rick, ultimately, was in a studio, (and didn't experience power outages!) 35

I have just bumped into an interesting post on Powerset blog about a small survey they have carried out to see students’ attitude towards Wikipedia.

: One could also get "bad" data from the library! What if a student used a book by David Icke, or a similar kooky writer because it was available in the library? in what way does a printed source have more authority than wikipedia? Instead, academics should perhaps focus on how to get their students to develop critical thinking abilities, rather than dismiss wikipedia because it is not "peer reviewed".
Sep 08, 2008
: Great point, critical thinking abilities solve the entire issue with non-credible sources. Being intelligent enough to decipher what is quality and what isn't is key.

I didn’t expect this. I fired up Google’s web browser, Chrome, expecting very little except a stripped down early beta with a plethora of bugs. After playing with it for a while, it’s too early to say that I’m blown away, but I must admit that I’ve stumbled onto some impressive feats which show that the team that built Chro (Read More)

Google Apps, the simple online office package aimed primarily at small businesses, now has support for videos. Users can post and embed videos, tag them, and leave comments - just like having your own mini YouTube. According to CNET, the technology used was actually developed by YouTube for corporate clients, and although i (Read More)

: This must be tough for the McCain camp. The last thing they want right now is McCain having to answer questions about this choice. They need to give it some distance and let the media play it out a bit.

Make no mistake. The cute comic book and the touchy-feely talk about user experience is little more than a coat of paint on top of a monumental hatred of Microsoft.

Google Chrome has been released and you can now finally try it. Developed in the past two years, the browser is barely noticeable after you open it. It loads faster than Internet Explorer and it has very few buttons and controls.In fact, Chrome is an ironic name: Google wanted to create a browser that has a minimal chrome ( (Read More)

Walt Mossberg has been playing with Google's "Chrome" browser for a week longer than you. What does he think? Chrome's not as good as IE8 but way better than Safari.

: No one's going to be surprised that Chrome version 0.00001 is less mature than Firefox 3. Good choice of headline here if nothing else.

Today's teenagers have an assumed ownership of technology. Like many parents, I haven't joined Facebook, MySpace or other social networking sites. I've resisted on the basis that it would be as embarrassing to my children as it would be if I hung out with them dressed in a miniskirt. But, having spoken to various experts, I (Read More)

: Daniel J. Pritchett, a commenter above me said "Which is more important today, an in-depth knowledge of greek/roman classics or an ability to contribute solid insights to a social network? " Well, they're both equally important. And if I had children and they could only learn one of these things, I'd choose the Greek and Roman classics. I don't think I'd be hindering them at all. (Social networks are intuitive. They can learn that anytime.) We tend to believe that subjects that we have no interest in, or don't seem related to our occupation or daily lives are useless. This is definitely NOT true. We need both breadth and depth of knowledge to be complete human beings and valuable employees. The best computer programmers I've ever met had very liberal educations. The worst came from tech schools where they just studied programming. Why is that? Because a liberal education teaches skills that aren't always as obvious as technical educations. Critical thinking and analysis, for example, is not something you'll learn unless you actually do it, and studying and writing about literature (including the Greek and Roman classics) will help you develop that. Personally, I think the internet is a wonderful research tool. But it shouldn't be the only one, and teachers should require students to physically go to a library, look in periodicals and books, and some homework should be done old school, with no computer at all. I've noticed that kids don't carry around books anymore. When I was a child, all the way up through my teenage years and young adulthood, I carried books with me to places like doctor's offices, parks, bus stops, etc. If I knew I might have to wait, I had a book handy. The kids today all have PSPs and Nintendo DS. None of them seem to be reading much, unless it comes off an LCD screen. (Not that reading off an LCD screen is necessarily a bad thing, but it tends to create reading multiple sources rather rapidly. There's no depth 42
