I’m hooked. I realize I’m a social networking addict (as someone mentioned to me earlier today) but I’m really enjoying my experience on the new Google Plus. My invite came through less than 24 hours after the network’s release and I immediately jumped in to share invites with others and figure the space out. The [...]

There were incredible discussions of privacy during SXSW this year. Dana Boyd led the entire event with a keynote speech about privacy. (You can read what she told the crowd here… It’s worth the read.) Since then, I’ve seen more and more people discuss and post thoughts on privacy. Even Craig Newmark of Craigslist threw [...]

I think I’ve settled on a new look for this website. I hope to merge some of the content I work on into one site. I’m not sure if this is the template I’ll stick with, but I think I’ll stay with this look for at least a few months. While I haven’t had a [...]

I’m sitting in a room with Matt Thompson and Jane Stevens while Matt holds a small group session on what makes great blogging. I strive to be a great blogger but I’ve found a number of things get in my way: My new found obsession with health (I’m working out 6-7 days a week) I [...]

Here I go again… Talking about Twitter. But I just got involved in a really interesting conversation on Twitter that I think is worth bringing to this blog (Thanks to Scott Hepburn’s encouragement). I’ve been on Twitter a while — I obviously blog and speak about it a bunch. I also like to share how to [...]

In my ongoing quest to help find ways to assist local newsrooms in saving money and continuing good journalism, I’m trying to take full advantage of my time as a Reynolds Journalism Institute fellow. So far I was able to complete a major collaborative effort between four newsrooms on election night and three newsrooms leading [...]

I’ve talked about social media here and in many different presentations at the Missouri School of Journalism, conferences and training seminars. I feel like all of my ramblings are a little more legitimate as more and more journalists debate on whether these trends are good or bad. Obviously I plant myself into the camp that [...]
