Last week in Dubai, Russia, China, the Arab countries, and much of Africa voted to end the Internet as an international , free and open space. They have voted instead to allow for the partitioning of the Net, in an effort to keep information – and people well regulated. (From PCMAG.com) “The Internet Society came [...]

Cyber War: Israeli Military Sites Under Mass Hack Attack
War is in cyberspace as much as it is in real space. Since mid-last week Israeli sites have been probed over 44 million times. Typically Israel is subject to a few hundred attempts per day. In air conditioned bunkers filled with servers hackers chase each other back and forth through code and over social media. [...]
“We Are Ok” Is #1 Shared Term This Morning (On Facebook)
I was on social media from the first drops of rain on. Of course I tend to spend a fair amount of time in various social media anyway. But as of last night it seemed as if everyone in the universe was on Facebook and Twitter- which apparently they were according to the attached article. [...]
The Simple Genius of Twitter and TV
I love to watch a show and open up Twitter. There is nothing better- TV wise – than getting a good Twitter conversation going while watching a show. Well, watching a show that one cares just enough about to watch but is not glued to. Madmen for instance is a post show tweet. I watch [...]
Twitter Diplomacy?
A skirmish has broken out between Russia and a US envoy to Russia, on Twitter. The world is more transparent these days (in some ways) that’s for sure. Here are some of the messages exchanged via Twitter this week.

Twitter Bug Randomly Unfollows People
Well, this isn’t good. I rely on Twitter every day, first as a key part of my communications strategy and secondly as an unparalleled source of news. There is just nothing like it for tapping right into the mind of humanity. I wish I knew Chinese, the stuff that goes on in Chinese Twitter must [...]
Cash Mobs: This Is One Way the 99% Can Make Markets Work for It
Much has been said about how social media has helped OWS happen. Frankly it would never have happened if there was no Facebook, or Twitter, 2 for profit and very self interested companies. What has always struck me about OWS is it’s general disdain for “capitalism.” I am not going to get into why this [...]
The Revolution Is Being Tweeted?
#OccupyWallStreet gives anyone who wants a voice at the protests a voice, no matter where they are physically. As I wandered through the Occupy DC protests on Thursday I must admit that I did not agree with every sentiment I saw scribbled on a placard. However, I did rejoice in the fact that people [...]
