Uttercast: Cross-posting? Remember Context & Audience
I have often experienced "network weaving," where a conversation takes place across multiple platforms- like someone answering a Twitter question on Facebook, etc. This concept is becoming more and more common as we jam our lifestream feeds down multiple channels. I have always fed Twitter through Friendfeed and Facebook, and Utterli through Twitter and http://DougHaslam.com/. [...]

Uttercast: We Still Need the Echo Chamber
Now sit down, I’m not going to rant for or against the social media Echo Chamber. Peter Kim lays out a couple of excellent posts about breaking out. I do say we need to keep it (not that Peter is saying it should go away, but I bet some people saw it that way. My [...]

Uttercast Twitter=Star Trek Facebook=Chrysler
When actor Ricardo Montalban passed away Wednesday, I inadvertantly had reinforced for me the difference between Twitter and Facebook. On Twitter, responses to me referenced his role as Khan in Star Trek II. On Facebook, my friends remembered his Chrysler Cordoba commercials. "Real Corinthian Leather." Why the split?

Why I Ride the Pan-Mass Challenge
For the second year, I have signed up to ride the Pan-Mass Challenge, an annual 2-day bicycle ride across much of Massachusetts. Why do I ride? Well, it’s easy to say it’s for a good cause, because it is. The PMC raises money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. It’s a well-run, [...]
