Posting links on Twitter or a blog
Thursday, January 26th, 2012I’ve been spending some time thinking about the best way to share links, ideas, videos and other material on the web. Although Facebook and Twitter have great reach they are open to big data loss if your ID get’s yanked by the powers that be. All the collateral you’ve accumulated could get wiped off the face of the earth in an instance.
You have ownership of your data, but you don’t control it’s hosting.
I am thinking of using a blog for posting things to share and then linking to the blog from Facebook and Twitter. Your own blog is the only way to own and control your content.
I may also pull out some of the old shared items from Facebook and repost them here.
We’ll see how it goes.

What did I do exactly one year ago?
Monday, October 3rd, 2011That is no longer a question that can’t be answered.
With the Facebook timeline rolling out it becomes real easy to peer back into the past and remember (or try to forget) activities from your past. In some cases a little bit of culling might be in order. There is just so much information that has been dropped into this black hole.
Early users of the timeline have reported that they are surprised when they look back at the timeline and immediately start on a pruning process. One can hide items from the timeline, delete them permanently or highlight certain events or photos.
Facebook is trying to become the single source or aggregator of you life stream. It will be our choice if they will be given the keys.
