Must we really be friends?

Monday, May 4, 2009

The behind-the-scenes conversation in the broadcast control room around social networking is a riot. Seems everyone struggles with friend requests. You can ignore them. In my mind, if you start accpeting invitations from people you don't really know, you're compromising the integrity of your network & it actually makes the whole thing less valuable. Kind of like the best parties aren't neccessarily the biggest. They're the ones with just the right mix & where you know everyone's name.

Here's a clever article, worth scanning. A PRACTICAL FACEBOOK NETIQUETTE GUIDE & Netiquette: Handling a Facebook Request from an Office Random - Lemondrop

Stickk -- Put a Contract Out on Yourself

Wednesday, February 25, 2009


www.stickK.com

If your good at setting goals, but need a little extra help with the follow through (who doesn't?) – log on to stickk.com where you can make a commitment -- like losing weight, quitting smoking, reading more, improving your credit score -- and then, put your money where your mouse is. stickk.com takes credit card information up front and charges your card weekly if you fail to meet your stated goal. You can designate someone to be a referee – a friend or spouse, for instance to keep you honest. The concept was developed by a Yale University economist based on years of behavioral research indicating when people stake their money or their reputation, they are much more likely to actually achieve a goal. Forfeited money can be directed to a friend or to charity, so what do you have to lose?

SEX + TEXTING = SEXTING

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

We're researching segment material for "The View" re: teen trends and this article caught our eye ... Think for so many years we were all so concerned about what kids were doing on the computer. The truth is, that thing in their pocket -- the cellphone -- has an awful lot of the same capability (for better or worse).

The Washington Post ran this piece re: sending nude photos on a cellphone. What's most striking is how culpable you may be if you forward that email/text. Worth a read & perhaps a dinner-time conversation ....

PostYourTest.com - As Seen on The Cyber Edge

Friday, November 7, 2008


As seen on FOX 5 DC's Cyber Edge, the Internet is making cramming for college exams a whole lot easier for some students. Web sites like PostYourTest.com allow students to anonymously upload copies of old tests so other students can take a peek or view actual exam questions if a professor uses the same test each semester. Much to the dismay of educators, there are currently over 500 tests on the site from schools including Harvard, Notre Dame, Rice and UCSD.


Example of one test posted on the site from Harvard.
