[Heh, my first adventure in venturing and product management at Nokia was some music software for s60. Here’s a guy with a weird career path. Too.] “No, it’s not your typical resume. But Harmonix’s Greg LoPiccolo has certainly had a unique and …”
It’s not infoglut on my mind, but infoswim (or something like that)
After a deep conversation with my dad on semantic web stuff, he pointed me to a site (of some guys he works with) that had this quote (below, pulled from another site to give it more – context).
Link: Managing Information: Infoglut:
“Information overload is not a function of the volume of information out there,” he says. “It’s a gap between the volume of information and the tools we have to assimilate that information into useful knowledge.”
But, it is really not infoglut that is on my mind, but how we can revel in the glut, navigate it, annotate it, contribute to it, and extract knowledge from it to generate new knowledge.
A lot of thoughts on this in my backlog of posts. I hope I can get them up during my lifetime…
Ohhhh, Meksico. Sounds so hot, I just gotta go.

“The premise of Saturday afternoon’s 7th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride is simple: people ride the subway without their pants on in cities across the country.”
Where you at?

Ah, a new conference schedule
It’s a new year and I am looking at my Spring 2008 conference schedule.
This year I had no interest in CES or Macworld. I did want to go to Digital Lifestyle Day. But, again, I could not make it due to conflict and running out of travel days (watching myself).
I did find out today that I am more likely to hit other conferences, though now my _wife’s_ schedule is conflicting. Bugger.
I do think I can make LIFT and will bug Laurent as soon as I know. And I thought I could make World Mobile Congress, but may have to pass. Ugh.
Not the same shutout as last year, but not so different yet. Hm.
Link [from last year’s whining]: Lifeblog: There goes the conference schedule:
I wanted to go to CES.
I wanted to go to Macworld.
I wanted to go to DLD.
I wanted to go to LIFT.
But I can’t.
Long story.

Karma – it’s a circle of social networking life kinda thing
Twitter Karma allows you to get a view as to the reciprocity of the following and who is has posted recently, providing a tool to see who is participating or lurking or what (see link to creators post on it, below).
There are some folks, each with their own reason, who use social network tools to link up with as many folks as allowable. For me, each social network tool I use has a purpose that determines the number of connections, activity level, and shared material.
As you probably know, I am very particular as to who gets on my Twitter stream. As my Twitter profile says, ‘Birds of a feather twitter together – you’re in, or you’re out.’, meaning you need to participate to remain on my list and that I am quite careful in adding new folks, no matter how wonderful they are. Hence, my list of Tweeps is small.
I suppose it all points to karma. In as many days, that word has popped up twice in relation to folks participating in a social setting. I suppose it’s a ‘you reap what you sow’. And I think this concept is strongly related to the ‘me and mine’ of services such as Vox, Jaiku, and Twitter (we see it a lot in our research, too). It’s related to mutual grooming, to the building of trust, to social assurances.

So, what is it? The other day, @StephAgresta said, “Twitter desperately needs page navigation on followers / following list. Also sort functionality by type (reciprocated or not) is a must.” I suggested a simple mashup that implements this and started hacking on it. Three days later, it has enough functionality that Stephanie said she thinks I should release it publically.
