Facebook has release new privacy settings to some of us (you’ll be seeing it soon if you don’t already). These new settings are an attempt to be more like Google+ (where you can share with one specific people). When you log in to Facebook you’ll see a pop up inviting you to learn about the [...]
I’ve been on the road a lot this month and last and have had friends on Facebook and Twitter comment on my Foursquare checkins asking why I didn’t let them know I’d be in their area. Well the reason is simple – I can’t remember where everyone I’m friends with lives This is the new [...]
Okay, so a big huge thank you goes out to Chris Cormack for pointing out this feature of TripIt. As you know I travel a lot. This means I have a lot of info to keep track of and a lot of info to share with my husband both so he knows where I am [...]
I received an email today announcing the research of Seesmic Desktop for Windows & Mac. Seesmic is a tool that allows you to track updates to a bunch of your social networks all at once.

There is yet another change to Facebook – your profile items such as job history, education, and interests is now linked to (or can now be linked) to pages on Facebook. I logged into Facebook this morning and saw this: So I clicked the ‘Choose pages individually’ link so I could have complete control over [...]
Mashable says that Facebook is going to kill Connect, but I kind of see it as a revamp because of the message on Facebook’s homepage. What it looks like is that Facebook is only going to let you connect with sites it deems worthy. Today when I logged into Yelp I saw this at the [...]

During our class, we found some major flaws in the system, flaws that make it so that many librarians have valid concerns about starting a page for their library on Facebook. On the day of the class we found [...]
