Connect With Me On Google Wave

Are you using Google Wave?  How and for what?
I got my invite a couple of days ago and I’m still trying to wrap my head around what the heck it’s good for.  My first few waves were nothing more than chats.  But I do see some potential for multi-media, multi-participant conversations and definitely for creating […]

Tweeting Fringe and a Big Fail for the Gleek Contest

Turning a TV series into a multiplatform experience does not need to be an expensive tech-heavy effort.  Fox has come up with one of the cheapest-cheerfullest solutions I’ve hear of yet.  They’re going to run a Twitter crawl along the bottom of the screen during re-runs of Fringe and Glee according to Tech Crunch:

Twitter Part II

Say you did sign up for Twitter — and a few of you have — what next?  There are some cool people to follow, depending on your interests, although they’re not all easy to find.
Show biz Tweeters:
Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, John Cleese, Penn Jillette and Britney Spears — not all of whom are […]

Twitter and the Wired Writer

Do you need Twitter?  Maybe.  A lot of you have recently signed on and now I’m wondering if Twitter is the new Facebook.  And more importantly, what can Twitter do for writers?

When I joined Facebook – was it only a couple of years ago? – few of the writers I knew were using it.  At […]
