Notes on Social Objects

If you haven’t read the story of the Microsoft Blue Monster, and Hugh’s thoughts on social objects, I highly recommend it. The full blue monster story is here on Hugh’s blog. I was just rereading it for an upcoming talk that discusses Social Objects. And of course I would be remiss if I did not [...]

Posted by eschipul on Monday, April 19, 2010 at 6:11 pm. 2 Comments.

I found myself with 60 relevant business emails in my inbox last Wednesday, the morning before I flew out on a business trip, and I jumped over to twitter to find out if anything important was going on. Baroo? Why did my brain tell me to do that? Four things about twitter communication of note: [...]

Uninstall Facebook Applications Internationally Day (UFAID) September 1 2009

Posted by eschipul on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 11:08 am. 7 Comments.

I am a fan of Facebook. I enjoy using it and it has brought me closer to a lot of awesome people. We are even approaching 1000 people on our Facebook Fan Page! But I can’t handle Facebook’s lack of respect for our privacy. The fact that it shows me “dating website” advertisements (I’m married [...]

Tribal Citizenship Behavior

When a crisis occurs, like a hurricane hits your city or the country freaks out about the swine flu, part of a leaders job is to protect the tribe. To do that, the people have to be prepared. The first priority must then be to make sure every member of the tribe is prepared to [...]

Personal brands, being human, can not truly be consistent.

Posted by eschipul on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 12:48 pm. 1 Comment.

Reading Gwen’s post Leave it at the Alter about personal brands got me thinking. Perhaps our online personal brands are really pseudonyms for the Umbrella Corporation? A protective wrapper than includes a “a highly-trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and para-military operations” division. And one sub-corp that makes band aids for the kids when [...]

Posted by eschipul on Friday, January 30, 2009 at 8:01 am. Comments are off.

New groups are being formed throughout the country, and nobody has noticed. These emergent groups are zero to three years old. And the organizers are not the usual suspects.
