Recollect: Collecting Your Digital Trail - 0 views

  •  
    Recollect essentially saves your entire digital social media trail so you never lose any post, photo, check-in or anything else all in one handy dandy place. It's like a massive dropbox for your entire social media history. What does this say about us as users that we can't stand the thought of losing anything online. This massively gives me the creeps.

    This website is brilliant. Professional-looking websites are looking more and more alike these days. This one, however, looks like nothing I've ever seen and illustrates how skillful storytelling, good visual skills, and tech savvy come together to read like a window into two peoples lives. What this website is about is a pleasant surprise at the end!

    a review of my dream phone. it keeps selling out in what feels like a matter of seconds. probably because you can buy it unlocked without a contract straight from google, and avoid the evil canadian phone companies! i'm very excited for this next step in mobile phones as it should help alleviate the need to sell your soul to rogers every time you need/want a new phone

  •  
    We learn a lot about technology in Virtual Organization. Here is an article that speaks to Toronto's potential as a information-technology hotspot for developers. What I find most interesting is that the best medium to interact in this high-stakes, high-information-rich sort of milieu is face-to-face.

Tory MP says government should do something about anonymous online comments - 0 views

  •  
    Incredibly relevant given our discussion in class today. I know what I said this morning about not believing anonymous comments to be integral to free speech, but I have to say I'm not at all keen on the proposal of this type of law.

Do Your Slides Pass the Glance Test? - 0 views

  •  
    Some tips for your next PPT! "An audience can't listen to your presentation and read detailed, text-heavy slides at the same time (not without missing key parts of your message, anyway). So make sure your slides pass what I call the glance test: People should be able to comprehend each one in about three seconds."

    Just in case you haven't seen this- google docs is now google drive. I'm an avid user of google docs and now there is an app that allows it to function what I imagine dropbox is like. It allows you to drop files into the app on your computer and access them anywhere through google docs.

Twitter Blog: Best practices for journalists - 0 views

  •  
    Twitter posted this "Best Practices for journalists" on their blog. Twitter wasn't 'meant' or built to be a tool for professional communicators but has obviously been used as such since its creation. I just found it really interesting that the tool is telling the storyteller how to do his/her job. I wonder why Twitter as an organization felt the need to post this best practices for journalists. What is the communication strategy here? Do they hope to change Twitter practices? Bring in more would-be journalists on the site? They even include quantitative research and examples to support their recommendations!

Explore Einstein's brain in this new interactive iPad app - 0 views

  •  
    This article is interesting, but what strikes my attention is that there seems to be no regulations on apps being sold to the public. Would you buy an interactive app of Einstein's brain for $9.99? In the article, it states that it could "spark a whole new generation of neuroscientists," but there is debate as to whether anyone (most importantly Einstein) would want a "circus made of his remains." Yikes.
