The First Thing You Should Do With Facebook Places: Don't Let Other People Tag You
So, everyone's excited about the new Facebook Places , right? The Facebook service that lets you check-in, Foursquare style, at whatever hip Sushi bar/bicycle repair shop you happen to be in. Oh, and also other people can check you in, too. Click to view Facebook places, which rolls out this evening, allows your friends (and only your friends) to tag you when checking into a place, much as they might tag you in a picture. This is terrible!

The Monster In The Closet - Her Bad Mother
It was just one night , and one night, measured against the course of a lifetime, doesn’t seem all that significant. But it was a dark night, and I have never been able to shed the weight of the memory of it. I have never been able to put it, as they say, in perspective. I never will. Jasper was not quite six months old. I had not slept in weeks.

PHD Comics: LolGrads
I'm really proud of the work that Music Director Melanie Guittet did in putting the soundtrack together for the PHD Movie. Not only was she a grad student in Nanotechnology (!) at the time, but she managed to find great musicians and bands in and around campus to contribute and she worked with them to fit the music to the movie. The movie would not be nearly as impactful or soulful without such rocking music. Thanks also to composer Eric Santiestevan (who once upon a time worked as a lab manager) and everyone who contributed. THE PHD MOVIE IS COMING!This is the week when thousands of college students move into the dorms. Most of them show up with a moderate car full (or two) of stuff. But then there are the epic mover-inners -- college students who bring stuff that surprises residence hall directors and staffers who think they have already seen it all.

A Framework for Teaching with Twitter - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Education
Faculty are increasingly experimenting with social media, and it’s exciting to find more and more courses incorporating Twitter, a ProfHacker favorite. Just last week on ProfHacker Ryan provided an excellent introduction to Twitter , while earlier in the summer Brian reflected on his use of Twitter in the classroom during Spring 2010. As we gear up for the Fall 2010 semester, I wanted to revisit the idea of teaching with Twitter .

Direct copying of large sections or their complete article is only allowed with permission from that blogger. Secondly most people consider it breaking blogging etiquette and a form of plagiarism. Yes, publishing content online is about sharing and collaborating but it’s important to remember it can take considerable time for the original person to create that content.

Floral Photos :: In Memory of Barbara L. Anderson
After a several-year battle with lung cancer, my mom (Barbara L. Anderson) passed away in her sleep at her home last night. She loved gardens and flowers. So after I got my kiddos out the door to school this morning, I went to Lakeland’s Hollis Gardens, took a long walk and snapped these photos. I am confident Mom would love all of them — except maybe for the one with the dragonfly on it
Update Jan 7, 2011: I am no longer updating this list, instead, find the more updated list for 2011 for Corporate Social Strategists . As an industry watcher, I look at trends, data, spending, technologies, yet what’s really important is watching the trend of professionals as they grow into these roles managing disruptive technologies. Update: Brian Hayashi has created a spreadsheet of this with additional info –like Twitter handles. We’re staying coordinated so the data is matched, follow Brian on Twitter . Methodology: About this List This 2010 list is an update from the original I started in 2008 , it was woefully out of date as people moved around.
