I like the term the social web, since that's what the original premise was. But I'm old fashioned.

I still use social media tho' since it has brand equity and puts people on the same page.

Excellent idea David! I'm in. Let me know if you need any extra hands getting this going.

Scary man… so glad to hear you’re doing okay and that you were surrounded by such wonderful people who made you go to the hospital. Get well soon and best wishes!

I'm still trying to get a grasp on why it would be considered plagarism if it is sourced properly... wouldn't it then be copyright infringement?

I remember my first St. Pat day back in Toronto when I called my friend back in L.A. and drunkenly announced I was at the Irish Embassy... it was quite an amusing convo.

See you there on the 15th Mathew, and "yes" to talking about all of the above!

Cheers,
Tamera

Re: Is it a “real blog”? Wrong question

tamera kremer — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:47:33 -0000

I still stick to the original meaning of the term "blog" to define what it is. A blog is a weblog. No comments, or even text required. Just a place you log stuff online.

We may need new definitions though to be more precise as to what each type of "log" represents.

You're in good company Mathew, Julia at F-H put together a list of the hottest male PR bloggers in Canada back in November. I'm still not telling who I voted for ;)

Re: Online fiction, Facebook and transparency

I can agree with most of the take regarding it being "art", but with a serious caveat, which is why I reacted as strongly as I did about the proactive and deceptive Facebook friending: Story2oh is a commercial enterprise that I would find it hard to believe didn't develop this project with the sole altruistic purpose of entertaining the masses. Most likely, as their appearance at an advertising industry event, was to execute this story in order to get clients. That may be art, it may not, I think it's interesting and provocative, but in most ARG's (which is what this is a version of) I choose willingly to participate, which was not the case with Ali Barrett (who I did research a bit as both Eden and you mention).

Re: Online fiction, Facebook and transparency

tamera kremer — Fri, 02 May 2008 19:16:30 -0000

Agree and disagree. Art directors who are pushing the envelope for paid client work could make the argument that they are creating commercial art. Same with this art, if the ultimate goal was to build a client base. Nothing wrong with that, but there are rules of engagement online, and within the norms of a community, and one of the key ones is (and has been for a long-time): opt-in & be transparent. that didn't happen here, therefore the experiment failed with some users and with some people who would prefer not to be deceived in their social interactions, especially when it's then clear that this was done to gain a client base for their content creation business.

Mathew, the more I think about this the more it takes me back to the character blog debate at the first mesh... perhaps time to revisit with the various viewpoints represented from the business, art, and communications sides? :)

Classic headline Mathew!

I'm not buying it... plan to upgrade to the new BB Bold when it arrives... it suits my purposes to a T and won't break my bank. I love shiny toys, but only when they're useful and fairly priced in the marketplace.

Silly me, I thought the "Letters to the Editor" section was the peons trying to have a conversation/ dialogue with the ivory tower before comments on blogs came into play.

Mathew,

To be fair, I have no idea who Kara is or what her tweets to you were about as I don't follow her on Twitter. My tweet was a direct response to your asking for feedback after the fact and my sharing my opinion. To conflate the two makes it seem as if I was piling on vs. answering something I thought you wanted to get opinions on.

Blogger is derived from Weblogger.

A WEB LOG. Nothing in there about what you can or cannot log on your site. Photos, words, recipes, links, what have you... nothing in there about who might be interested in your log either.

Re: Social Media: Aggregating Uninformed Opinions?

tamera kremer — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 08:00:19 -0000

I'm going to add another equation here that I learned over my 15+ years of being on the web and involved in political sites.... it's really easy to set up a fake account and post propaganda. If you aren't the owner of the site (and even then with proxies you may not be able to tell) you have no idea if the person you are hearing from is legitimate, real, or spinning a tale to suit an agenda. It happens more than too many in these "new" social media circles recognize.

I am no supporter of either side in Iran but I do know that there's a lot of presumption going on in Twitter land... why? To who's benefit? That's one to study.

Re: Googlism

tamera kremer — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 10:40:17 -0000

I'm actually thinking that Google's real goal is to turn software from a product to a service... and that's not going to help any of us in the long term.
Imagine your data held hostage because your credit card expired. Or Google's servers go down. Or any host of other potentials.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a MSFT fan, but I also don't want to trade one behemoth for another... especially not one who has as much data about me as Google does.

Hmmm... I'm seeing a blog post coming on vs. continuing to expand on this comment ;)

Cheers,
Tamera
