Facebook Subscriptions, Follow without Friendship

Posted on March 7, 2012

In my last post, Google+ Circles vs. Facebook Lists, as well as other related posts, I discussed the concept of friends and lists in Facebook and contrasted it to  Google+ circles as well as following in Twitter. Facebook introduced subscriptions in September 2011, not long after the launch of Google+. Essentially subscription is equivalent to […]

Social networking till death do us apart…and then some

Posted on May 13, 2010

By Philippe de Champaigne, 1602-1674, via Wikipedia In memory of Sanam Kordestani, a friend who passed away Feb. 2010 at the age of 38. She was a friend to many and a natural networker, way before “social networking” had become fashionable. I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately. We all eventually get there sooner or later, […]

Virtual Social Influence

Posted on March 1, 2010

I’ve been thinking about my presence on the internet from the early days, from my time at Argonne National Labs near Chicago in 1988-1989 and from my graduate school days at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 1989-1992. That was even before the web browser days, which didn’t come out till 1993-94. Mosaic browser […]

On Etiquette and Math of Follow in Twitter

Posted on September 5, 2009

I don’t have to follow everyone who follows me. And I certainly don’t expect everyone whom I follow, to follow me. . . You do not have to reciprocate. . . And that is a very important concept in Twitter. This is not an ego trip, nor it is a popularity contest.

Shall We Bookmark?

Posted on July 11, 2009

So I am reading an article on ZDNet.com and on top of the article I come across a set of icons. See the image below. A couple of them are obvious. I can print the article or email it to someone. A more interesting one is the little rectangle with up/down thumbs along with a few numbers. […]
