How Labels Make Us Miss the Point

Labels. Our world is consumed by attaching labels to things, and then identifying with those labels entirely, to the point where the entire meaning of what that thing represents is lost. Consider politics. Our politicians are depicted in both Canada and the U.S. based on labels. It’s not how well they can do the job,...CONTINUE READING

The Art of Shameless Self Promotion

by Susan Murphy

I’ve been reading a lot of blog posts and tweets lately about people being averse to “tooting their own horn”. And I’m not sure I really understand the aversion. Ok, I know there are lots of spammers out there. I know there are certain types of people that seem to do nothing but shamelessly self-promote...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

Knowledge is Power, Understanding is Success

by Susan Murphy

This week I’ve been reflecting on how far I’ve come in the past several years, as I’ve made the transition from worker-bee to creator. I used to be the typical high-tech worker. I knew how to do a lot of stuff, like build a web site, write a communiqué, build a document library, write a technical manual....CONTINUE READING

Feedly Gets It

by Susan Murphy

I discovered Feedly this morning and in just a couple of minutes it changed the way I interact online. One of the things that drives me bananas about many social media apps these days is the lengthy process I need to go through just to get it to understand who I am and what I...CONTINUE READING

Uninvited to the Social Media Party

by Susan Murphy

There’s an interesting debate going on this morning over at FriendFeed. It appears that Robert Scoble has blocked one of his followers (I’m not going to name names, if you want to find out who it is, I invite you to seek it out yourself. Go ahead. Google to your heart’s content. I’ll wait). You...CONTINUE READING

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

by Susan Murphy

About 10 years ago, I used to hang out at a little pub in my neigbourhood. It was walking distance from my house, and I would say that I was probably there at least 2 or 3 times a week. Often more. Sometimes I’d just stop in after work for half an hour, sometimes I’d...CONTINUE READING
