In an inspired blog post, Jason Kottke said that social networks aren’t helping us organize; since all of them require different credentials to log in, they’re just adding to the noise.

Video Games and Social NetworkingVideo games are making big money and big news – some good – some bad - we’ve all probably seen the media blitz for Grand Theft Auto 4 – Mother’s Against Drunk Drivers wants the game to be reclassified as Adults Only. I’m not much for violent video games – but from a business perspective – the game adds another layer to the social networking aspect – the game itself becomes a selling platform.The game is like a virtual shopping mall – if you like a song you hear on the radio in the game – you can tag it – if you thought stand-up comedian Ricky Gervais ((of Office and Extras fame) who is in the game) is funny, you can tag him – everything you do in the game is recorded - later when you log into the GTA4 Social Club – you’re prese

Several years ago I worked in business. I was the assistant controller and material buyer for a factory nearby. Back then the Internet was fairly new and we didn't have Internet access from work. We had internal email but it was very limited.Even back then I could see what needed to be done. I liked the email, my boss didn't. I wanted to expand it, he wouldn't hear of it. I wanted to use other tools to help us communicate with our vendors, our customers and our main office, halfway across the country. He didn't see any problem with using the phone.I was boxed in and had to pick up the phone and find the person I needed every time I needed something or whenever there was a problem. Orders were sometimes wrong and all I could say is, "This is what my order form says, either they misunderstoo
I think it's a little bit funny that spies, people who pride themselves on secrecy, are about to have their own social networking site. Social networking is and online and insecure place."But he says the intelligence community needs to consider that not sharing information can also cost lives, a lesson learned from the 9/11 attacks." ~FT.com (Aug 21)How are they going to share information with other spies without risking a breach in their security? They know what's at risk, so I'm sure they're doing all they can to keep their social networking site, and it's information, secure and open only to the intelligence community.
Long time Internet parenting site BabyCenter.com will be adding a new feature to their Web site.

Ann Crady, CEO of Maya's Mom says, "First, it is huge validation that BabyCenter thinks what you guys are doing here is something they want to be intimately involved with."BabyCenter needed this too. They're bringing parenting advice to the latest, greatest level, just as they did more than a decade ago when they first started out.
