in Guest Post- Twitter- To Converse or to Broadcast-THAT is the Question on Chris Brogan
Great post, and one that pushed me to think about how I am using Twitter. I am hoping my followers don't consider me as someone who blurts. My main reason for using Twitter is to get to know people, to hear from folks who have interesting things to say about the topics I am interested in. And I try to add value to the conversations, and I do announce new blog posts (albeit not as frequently as I would like), but I do plan to start sharing more! Cheers, Marc

in Threading Some Trends Together on Chris Brogan
Hi Chris,

Excellent post, and one that I will share with my co-workers. In the past year I have been trying to get them interested in social media, and how this is going to change the way we work and live. So far with little success unfortunately.

Personally I have already joined the work from home program at Sun, for about 3 years now. This is excellent, saves me on at least 90 minutes of commute every day, and I have not done any calculation yet on fuel savings. I have a flexible work schedule, since I work with folks in CA primarily, my conf call schedule runs from about 3 pm to 7 pm. And at times I get on e-mail later in the evening as well.

But mornings are more open to personal things, such as running some errands, going to city hall, bank and more. It has allowed me to have a better work life balance (there's another of the important concepts ;-)

In short, I would not want to give up this WFH, it has been such a life change for me, and I love it.

Cheers

Marc

in Mobile: The Monetization Platform for Social on Social Times
Social networking on the mobile is only going to grow, it's simply the fastest and easiest way to connect, providing the applications are user friendly enough for the masses to use.

Myself, I have done a lot more Twitter updates since I got Twinkle for my iPhone, but Facebook remains a laptop activity.
