Amplify-Ing The Signal
When you engage in on-line social networking and community, you need to consider the architecture of your presence and sharing efforts. My friend @uCMLE’s comment to my recent post about Good Noows concerning how to avoid noise and echo chamber effect across linked social networks is well taken – excessive signal dulls the listener’s senses [...]
ADA Code. For iDevice.
Bracketing today with two legal i-Apps, the open bracket being Court Room Objections for the iPhone, I present you with the closing bracket – the ADA Code for iPhone and iPad! I am all about brackets during the World Cup.

Why “Google” It, When You Can “Twitter” It?
Internet search via search engines has been around a long-time. 15 tech years or more, which is like 102 in people years. Apparently, however, search engines are on the wane, as reported by Hitwise (link here). At least in the U.K. For the month of May, anyway. For the first time, it appears that visits [...]
Planes, Trains … and Soon Automobiles
The ability to computer on the move is becoming more of a necessity than a luxury, regardless of your viewpoint on whether that should be the case. The traveling workforce needs a pipeline to the Web, while the rest of us just want that connection.

Pining For Long-Form News
Short form journalism definitely has its place in our modern, fast-paced, Web environment. “Real-time” implies “short-tail” and even shorter attention spans. But long-form news articles (generally in excess of 4,000 words), requiring a greater depth of investigation and crafting, still have their place in our reading lists. Or should have their place, anyway.
Enter Longform.org. Think [...]
