Dealing with social media overload

Dave:

As more and more of the general public recognizes the power of the web as a platform for communication, collaboration and coordination, a crush of services and applications have emerged (Twitter, Facebook, Digg, del.icio.us, etc). No one has the time to keep up with dozens of these at once, so nailing effective integration and aggregation of these services will be the next big thing in the social media world.

When an Avatar is your professional face

avatar, social networking, technology

Laura:

In the realm of social networking sites, anything goes when associating an avatar with one’s profile. I have seen people use as their avatar:


  • A photo of their favorite presidential candidate
  • A Chinese character
  • Snapshot of their kid’s pet rabbit


But what if you know that those who are viewing your avatar include the president of your company or your boss?
