Honoring Mike Teel

Kenny Britt likes to tease me about how much I like Mike Teel, I play along and the truth is: I do really like Mike Teel. And I know I'm awfully lucky I do. Mike's a Bergen County kid and our paper's home base is in Bergen County and so obviously, from the start, I was aware he'd be a kid our readers would always want news on. I remember exactly where I was (the produce section of a grocery store) on that July day in 2004, when I found out Mike had committed to Rutgers. I called this teenager,

The Cult of the Wireless Clicker

For those in need a holiday gift idea for a law prawf... Look no further than the wireless "clicker." This handy gadget has changed my life. Gone are the days when I am tethered to a laptop computer by the need to hit return to advance to my next powerpoint bullet or slide. Instead, I can Oprah my way up the aisles in the classroom, tsk-tsk-ing facebook surfers and solitaire combatants. A built in laser-pointer allows for jittery emphasis from vast distances and can also be a useful way to

My Phone's in my Pocket and I Don't Want Your Hand There!

Below is an interesting post about how users interact with their phone. The key message is pretty simple. If you want to advertise to mobile users, you have to engage them on their terms. People are leaving email behind to use social networks and services such as Twitter for their messaging needs. It's easier to avoid spam and advertising there (for now I guess!) Further, these users see their mobile as the first truly "personal, mass media". Hence, they want to control the experience, and righ

AnNi Hits 1 million Impressions

I know this whole Facebook Ad thing is new to me, and some of you probably do it all the time.  But, as of tonight at 12:00 AnNi has been seen on Facebook by over 1million viewers.  Isn't that CRAZY.  The move to fund adoptions is so satisfying, and I can't wait to post stories from families that are going to be reunited with their kids from all over the world.  Thanks for making this life so fun to travel.  With your help, we're doing it!!!  We're living out the scripture James 1:27.  Thank

The Virgin Read: She Decided To Mend The Being Late Fences With An Actual Song Loosely Inspired By A School For Umbrellas

The Umbrella Academy: Dallas # 1 Written by Gerard Way Art by Gabriel Ba & Dave Stewart Published by Dark Horse Comics I’ve not even completed the first line of this review, and I already know I’ll be disappointed with it.  I was so psyched to write this week.  Really ready to give it my all.  In all honesty, the last few weeks I haven’t put myself fully into these writings.  Somewhat into them.  Not fully.  I could have given you more.  I could have Remembered The Titans.  But I had all

Pro-Ana & Pro-Mia Sites on Facebook

Dear Readers, Recently, newsweek.com asked me to comment about the recent sightings of pro-ana (promotes anorexia) and pro-mia (promotes bulimia) sites on Facebook. I found ,as others have too, that actually there more anti-ana and anti-mia sites on facebook than there are sites that promote eating disorders. The Newsweek.com story adds to the debate about whether these sites, which have been around for a number of years on the internet, should be deleted and then banned. I encourage parents

Un-Adventy

As I noted on my Facebook page a few days ago, I feel most un-Adventy this year -- even after reading an essay by an Orthodox priest suggesting that Advent is a good time for depressives to enter into their feelings of sadness and emptiness, mourn their losses, gain some perspective through charity and service, and otherwise prepare themselves for the joy of Christmas.That sounds very reasonable and therapeutic. Meanwhile, I started assembling my Advent wreath (late, because of our trip) only to

Murdoch Papers Spar Over Yahoo Buyout

Just because the New York Post is now borrowing copy directly from The Wall Street Journal doesn't mean the tabloid can't pour water on its sister paper's reporting when it sees fit. Yesterday, the Journal sent markets scurrying with this online bulletin: Former AOL chief Jonathan Miller is talking to investors about raising money to purchase all or part of Yahoo Inc., a long-shot deal that signals that investors' interest in the troubled Internet property has yet to subside....Mr. Miller b

Using Twitter to Get Visibility for Your Programs

If you've been using Twitter to build rapport and create connections with followers, then you need to be using it to create visibility for your programs as well. Today, I presented a teleseminar for the Master Business Building Club on creating online visibility. To that end, I promoted the call to our email list, I posted the event on Facebook and I started sending tweets about it a couple of days ago. Tweets went out a few hours before, 1 hour before, 30 minutes and then right at the tim

04Dec08 What do YOU do? By Donyale Categories: General Musing about Life What DO you do? It’s an everyday question that can be answered quickly or ignored. It’s a section on our forms for new patients coming into the clinic. I am always interested in what people write. How they describe themselves. Do they put down the most basic of explanations….’HR’, ‘Manager’ ‘House-wife’? Or do they go into a long description? One person wrote his title and then put in brackets a lon

Real Social Dynamics Update -- "The Way Of The Future... The Way Of The Future..."

Just dug up this random video of Tim -- which he recorded just before walking up on stage at the "Transformations" Superconference. This was a really fun time in the company that brought back some nostalgia (the last few years have been really great actually) and I thought to share the nonsense with you. Alright so I wanted to throw up a quick update. Topics on the agenda -- stuff I'm up to lately: -New RSD Nation -Blueprint Book -The Relationship Transition book -RSD Underground revamp So I've

Op-ed piece on jury by Facebook

I have an op-ed piece in today's The Courier Mail inspired by this story last week where a juror sought the advice of her Facebook friends as to whether the accused was guilty or innocent.  You can read it here.  However as is usually the case, I prefer my proposed headline (to date the sub-editor has never used one of my suggested headlines).  I suggested "Beyong a reasonable Facebook doubt", but the print edition went with "Online networks ready to solve life's burning issues" and the onlin

Pregnancy: One way in which Muni is better

Editors note: This story is cross-posted at the nascent Bart Diaries. Because we have yet to develop that site, we’re gladly accepting submissions here on Muni Diaries for stories involving BART. As usual, there are two ways to submit stories, either using our submission form or emailing us directly. Thanks. So, I’m six-and-something months pregnant, and riding public transit has been a challenge since the beginning of my pregnancy. But, being the good little sociologist that I am, I’ve tried

Get Your Shopping in Early for Barack Obama Day!

Can you believe that it took them nearly a full month to declare a holiday celebrating America's greatest hero, Barack Obama. Really, it's appalling.

“Lost” as told through Facebook updates

If you’re like me, you’re counting down the time until “Lost” comes back (p.s. — it’s 7 weeks). “Heroes” just isn’t cutting it and, face it, there’s going to be nothing on between now and mid-January. So, to satiate your craving for Jack, Kate, the disappearing island, and everything else “Lost”, here’s a fun story chicagotribune.com did about the show’s plot being re-told through Facebook updates: This is one of my favorite “Lost” stories in a while (I first saw this story via the Facebo
