The Virtual Office: Is It For You?

I have been working in a virtual office environment on and off for several years, and I love it. My company has dabbled in having a physical office at times, but it never really worked out for us, for various reasons – ultimately the extra expense just wasn’t worth it to us. We have four...CONTINUE READING

The Story of Information

by Susan Murphy

I have a secret. It’s one of those things I don’t tell people very often. But since we’re all friends here, here goes. I love databases. Yup. Databases. I find them wildly interesting. Why? Perhaps it’s because I’m a bit of an information junkie. OK, a LOT of an information junkie. I read voraciously. I...CONTINUE READING

The New Convergence

by Susan Murphy

Back in the late 1990’s, I was working for a gigantic telecommunications company in Canada. “Convergence” was the buzzword of the moment, and the company was on the bleeding edge of converging cable, Internet and telephony into one big pipe. At the time, the average person didn’t really understand what this meant. Now, 12 years...CONTINUE READING

On Kitchen Parties and Social Networks

by Susan Murphy

I’ve been fortunate to spend a good chunk of time in Newfoundland and Labrador. Even though I’m not from the Eastern part of Canada, I feel very in tune with the people there. Perhaps it’s in my blood, because my Dad is from New Brunswick. Perhaps I can relate to the culture because I grew...CONTINUE READING

Forget the Message – What's Your Medium?

by Susan Murphy

“A light bulb creates an environment by its mere presence.” — Marshall McLuhan I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY people choose certain mediums to communicate. In McLuhan’s day, the options were much more limited. Not by their ability to tell stories, but by their accesibility to the general public. At that time, we relied...CONTINUE READING

Twitter in a Nutshell (for my Facebook friends)

by Susan Murphy

I was twittering with @GinnyK today, and she is in a similar predicament to myself. We both have many Facebook friends who have no idea what Twitter is. At least 3 times a week, one of my FB friends asks me “What the heck is Twitter?” This is because I am a complete geek, so...CONTINUE READING

Proposed Rules of Engagement for the Social Network

by Susan Murphy

Social networks are fascinating. They are made up of all kinds of people, from all walks of life, brought together out of a shared interest or interests, into a big pot of text, audio and video soup. Sure, there are plenty of people who have become good friends on the Internet…fallen in love, even. Heck,...CONTINUE READING

James Koole from Tucows presented this afternoon at Podcamp Toronto on enhancing corporate communications through social media. Tucows is doing some really neat stuff as far as creating a social media focused web presence. He’s showing the group that it’s not rocket science and all it takes is some creative people willing to invest a...CONTINUE READING

Internet 101

by Susan Murphy

My Mom’s best friend just got on the Internet. Yup, she’s got herself a computer, a dial up connection and a web browser. I think its fantastic! My parents, who have been Internet-savvy seniors for the past few years (mostly because both their technology-professional kids made them!) helped her to get set up and showed...CONTINUE READING

Give Choices to your Users

by Susan Murphy

I am trying to sign up for a LinkedIn account and I’m already frustrated. I hate it when you try to sign up for something, and they ask you about your business, what you do, and then give you a pre-populated list of jobs or industries to choose from, and the thing you do is...CONTINUE READING
