« My Twitterville Worksheet | Main November 28, 2008 Mumbai, Twitter, Hatred & Gandhi For much of the past two days I have watched with horror and sorrow as events unfolded in Mumbai. Mostly I have watched through Twitter. Some of what I have seen at #mumbai--where 10s of thousands of posts from people all over the world have gone up in a realtime river of information and opinion. For the most part, what I have read there has reconfirmed my belief that the worst of times brings out the best in most people. All over the world people are contributing thoughts of outrage and compassion. On the ground, Tweeters in Mumbai have contributed some real time valuable and accurate information.

« @Firefox_Answers & @ComcastCares--a lopsided comparison | Main August 24, 2008 I'm Speaking in China. Why this Excites me. I'm reading Nixon and Mao by Margaret MacMillan. Until the year 2000, Nixon was my least favorite president, but as I read this recounting of his 1972 trip to what we then called "Red China," I cannot help but acknowledge the greatness of what he achieved by being the first US president to set foot in China. It really was a trip that changed the world. I recall the controversy of the time. Some TV reporter--either Dan Rather or Sam Donaldson--stuck a microphone in front of Henry Kissinger, Nixon's closest adviser and secretary of state who had engineered the trip."Mr. Secretary," he was asked, "what does the United States expected to gain out of this China junket?" The implication was that the trip was nothing but political PR. Many of us suspected that it was no more than a stunt.
