• 21:32 Am highly aware of irony in that I'm writing a Web 2.0 & eLearning presentation using PPT and bullets. Seems WRONG somehow. #

Social Networking Brought to the Real World

I find this a hilarious concept. Basically, a bunch of developers created a game that forces people to talk to each other to acquire points.

Now, social networking on the computer evolved from networking socially in person. This game brings networking back around again to its origins: real live people talking to each other.

I also have to wonder if any questions would be raised at a bunch of people walking around any building with what looks like a bomb around their neck.

As seen on BoingBoing TV and filmed at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference:

Flipping for the Flip

In November at Learning 2007, some friends of mine led a panel on using Streaming Video . All of the panelists showcased their Flip Ultra video camera.

By January, I had one. I bought it for $120 at Best Buy. I bought white, but had I wanted to embarrass my husband further, I could have purchased pink - other options include orange, black, and green. I love this because it works with both my Mac and my PC. I love that the software is basically a portable app - built-in to the hardware and only launches when I plug the USB stick into my computer. I love that there are no cords or extraneous cables.

I love my Flip, but there are caveats to the thing. The zoom isn't exactly high quality. Also, users should remember that this camera is made for You-Tube-quality video. It doesn't provide exactly high-res, high-end pictures. It also takes AAs. I'm more of a rechargable battery girl, but now I just carry AAs with me.

It's perfect for certain things. For instance, it was perfect for filming the Peabody ducks or when we saw Dancing with the Stars live and already had front-row seats.  It's not so good when you're sitting far away.

I'm not the only one who loves the Flip. A new report shows that FlipUltra already has 13% of the market share. As the article points out, when HD starts to filter down to inexpensive video, this could all change. But right now, You Tube is what we want and how we share our video. The Flip Ultra plays perfectly into this.

Twitter in Plain English

I twitter. In fact, I twitter a lot. It's micro-blogging and more often-than-not, it's easier and quicker than blogging.
I recently found this incredible video that does a great job explaining a lot about Twitter.
What this video neglects to explain is all of the new friends, contacts, and information you can glean from Twitter. It's a large, growing, twitter-ing community.
