Liveblogging Graphing Social Patterns

Last week’s liveblog of We Media was the topic of much positive feedback, so I’m liveblogging again today while at Graphing Social Patterns.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…

Check out this snapshot of Techmeme today. As is typically the case, Google scratches it’s left ear lobe and an entire industry of bloggers kicks into gear dissecting what it means. The NYTimes claims it’s a Microsoft Sharepoint killer while Allen Stern declares they are going after pbWiki. The AP wire report, which also runs [...]

FriendFeed Accelerates?

I’ve been getting a lot of FriendFeed notifications about new people subscribing to my feed. Based on anecdotal comments from people I have talked with, it appears I am not alone and that makes me wonder what is happening that is suddenly causing a bump in activity. Could it be Facebook’s own efforts to do [...]

Tripit Does Rock

Jake is right, TripIt is way better than Dopplr if for no other reason than the ability to email itinerary confirmations to the service and have it build a complete itinerary of your trip. Awesome.

Gaphing Social West

Last year I last-minute dropped in on the Graphing Social Patterns conference here in San Jose. It was the first generation event and Dave did an outstanding job pulling it together.

Reuters Opens Calais Web Service

This doesn’t surprise me at all. My almost year long affair with Facebook has enlightened me to [...]

Fixed Gmail

On my own… no thanks to Google. I was unable to get to the gmail login screen even after blowing out the cache, deleting the cookie, doing a dance and sacrificing a baby goat. The gmail community forum was useless and absent of any apparent contact mechanism I put out a call for help here [...]

Google’s Customer Support (ROFL)

My Gmail account has been inaccessible most of the day, something vague about my account being under maintenance. I emailed the provided email address tonight to see what was the status and when I’d get my account back. Here’s their response, I’ve highlighted the part that had me picking my jaw up off the floor… [...]

Gmail is Seriously Borked

For the second time in as many months, I am having serious Gmail problems.

People are telling me that gmail is replying to them that “your message may not have been delivered”. I know for fact that not all messages are being delivered because I sent one to myself that never got there.
