Thankful For Technologies

This year I declared myself thankful for some of the technologies that help bring my family together. The tools have clearly gotten easier and more familiar to people who don’t live so much of their life online like I do.

Friday Heh On A Wednesday

My Fridays haven’t lended themselves to publishing the heh list of late, and as a result I’ve yet to publish my first one here on Extraface.

Meanwhile, Elsewhere At Forrester

While one side of the house is focused on new systems that will let you become a fansumer and have advertising-mediated interactions with the companies you like to do business with, a few mere months ago VP Bill Doyle presented some great material about what really matters in the financial services world — companies showing… Continue reading Meanwhile, Elsewhere At Forrester

Suggestions For Mashable’s Top Ten Blog Conference List

Alexdc’s twitter stream pointed me to a list Mashable.com put together of their top 10 blogger-related conferences. I think they missed the mark on one glaring omission (SXSW Interactive, the highlight of my conference year), and gave too much weight to conferences that haven’t proven themselves yet, most notably PostieCon and to a lesser extent… Continue reading Suggestions For Mashable’s Top Ten Blog Conference List
