DISQUS

I attended a friend's wedding, too, in San Miguel 11 years ago. Unforgettable place that I hope to go back to some day for a longer visit (and as Donna said, may not return). Glad to hear you had a good time.

Cheers,
Connie

So, I take it that is not you? ;-)

I think Google has almost always done some fuzzy searching to pick up typos and common misspellings people make in their searches. It's probably just the first time it has showed up so high in your search results. Or maybe they have varied what they show a little bit (usually it comes up as "Did you mean..." at the top) Hopefully if someone accidentally spells your name as Mike Allen with an e in a search, they will see some of your Mike Allan with an a in the results, too. You might want to try googling that spelling, too, just to see.

Hi Bill,

It is important to nurture those personal relationships. Those of us who are connected online sometimes feel so closely bonded that we just want to talk to each other all the time, but we can't ignore the real face to face people in our lives. I'm sure your friends in Montreal will understand.

Good for you for taking the time to slow down a little bit.

Cheers,
Connie

I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing, Andrew. You're in my thoughts.

Oh, MAN!

As someone reading from home, I definitely enjoyed your tweets, Mary! LTNY sounds like a lot of fun and I do indeed wish I had the time to take them up on the free blogger admission offer.

Keep up the great work, and don't forget to have fun too.

Cheers,
Connie

Adding this to my "need" list. Not sure if it fits under technology, gadgets, or fashion though.

I also enjoyed your presentation, how you put the video together with thorough demonstration and then the interview, and supplemented it with the blog post content. Well done, will be pointing lots of people here in the future. Starting with family members who need to buy me one of these! ;-)

Cheers,
Connie

Thank you for these sentiments, Mary. This kind of change is so needed, and so good to see. I hope the positive effects spread widely.

Best,
Connie

That looks like a fantastic event. I agree with Keith, is there any chance it will be livestreamed or recorded for those of us not in the area?

Cheers,
Connie

Some great goals! You will find if you start to exercise that not only will you feel healthier but also you will have more energy for the other goals. I've gotten out of my routine, have to do the same.

All the best for 2009!

Ah! Okay. :-)

Hi Sam:

I don't think this is actually implying we are authorities in social media. Rather, what this has done is run a search for the phrase "social media" (same as you would in http://search.twitter.com) but then put the recent hits in order of who has the most followers. You will get different results at different times.

Scoble doesn't show up simply because he hadn't used the phrase "social media" recently when you ran the search. Or possibly because he was not pulled into Twitority via the API.

Amrita, fantastic post. I believe cross-pollination of ideas from one are to another is important for creativity (or innovation, if you will). Most of my artist friends are not really online; it will be a much richer place once they are.

Cheers,
Connie

Wow--congrats on all the changes!!

Connie

Hi Chris:

How true! And don't forget, nothing beats face-to-face networking: talking to everyone you know, being yourself and letting them know you are there to help them. I opened up shop earlier this year and have been quite busy with mostly word of mouth business. And when I get a referral, I find those people are researching me on the web in advance. When they see me talking about issues they are facing, they can see we could be a good fit. So, the networking and the visibility online are working hand-in-glove.

Cheers,
Connie

Hi Dave:

It was great to see you again! Thanks so much for getting us all together.

Cheers,
Connie

I couldn't agree more, Bill. It seems an old way of thinking: "How can we make money off this?" I was in that same boat at a U.S. conference, and am dreading the big bill I may end up with. I would have much preferred not having to think about every moment I used my data plan or voice plan.

Cheers,
Connie

Nice perspective on these ideas, Chris. I just, um, posted this to Delicious which should feed into Friendfeed and a couple other places, and also shared with my friends on Facebook. Hopefully more people will start taking part in the annotated world. ;-)

Cheers,
Connie

Seesmic video reply to Mathew Ingram

Well done, Dave!

That is so great, Mitch. Congratulations!

Hi Chris:

My own blog reading can be described as random at best. Most of what I read is what pulls up in Google alert searches I have set up, plus recommendations via Twitter and from the blogs themselves. I periodically check in to favourite blogs, but read few consistently. This definitely keeps my reading and thinking fresh. My theory is that anything truly excellent will rise to the top and resurface again in the future if I miss it. There are just so many amazing, amazing blogs out there that to be honest I gave up trying to read or even track them all!

I do post comments on a lot of the blog posts I read, and am currently using cocomments to keep track of my comments since they are scattered so widely. That has worked successfully, and I love when blogs have the option to notify me by email when followup comments are posted.

Cheers,
Connie

Just discovered I'm one of the ones who lost her account. I'm one of Twitter's biggest supporters, was one of the top-followed librarians online and have promoted the service to others.

Twitter customer for 1 1/12 years, had brought together over 1500 followers (I was following over 1400). I am upset if I have been penalized for other people wanting to follow me. I was not online last night so didn't know it had been suspended.

Thanks for staying on top of this for us.

Cheers,
Connie

Thanks, Anna--I will have to look at the CIL presentation since I missed that one!

Did you notice they changed the interface on it last night? Would be interested to see if you found any new functionality. I haven't had a chance to use it too much yet. I because a delicious fan after including it as part of a course I was teaching and learned it for that purpose. Now I can't live without it for my bookmarking, and any additional functionality is a bonus!
