Social Networks and Time: Some Visual Thoughts

I’ve been doing some visual thinking around the way that social networks and, in particular, the people who make them up and the content they produce, affects the amount of time we allow to each person (or singular piece of information) in that network.
Facebook moving to its new layout was a significant indicator of this [...]

Extended Hyperconnectivity

Our lives, feelings and experiences are becoming more frequently articulated online. Hence, I believe that the way we are forming these articulations is no longer for ourselves, but for our peers and network. Does this, or will this, change the way we process feelings?

Facebook Connect: The implementation list

Facebook Connect.  I remember hearing about this, and in fact, I installed in on TheMusicBlogs.com.au just to trial it over the first week of launch.  Do not ignore this, it may be very big.  Look forward to hearing your thoughts on what you think is a good implementation so far.
Why?

Trust: people trust Facebook.  It’s something [...]

Creating Facebook Groups: Lesson 1

I broke my own rule recently.
