These days you can't seem to avoid conversations about twitter. These conversations leave me with flashes of quincy, as I had the same experience with facebook and to a lesser extent flickr and gmail (although most people I knew seemed less interested in talking about the goog's improvements to email storage and functionality - and even less people in my immediate vicinity wanted...
a reminder © Raffaella Loro I had a rather full weekend and haven't had time to type up my review/reflection of the symphony performance from last Thursday. I will be posting it on COLLECTed because I have assembled my thoughts in a more formalized narrative format and less stream of consciousness as I am apt to do here. But I do have some...

I figured this warranted a blog post, since I've been all bloggy lately. Or as I prefer to say, I've gone all bloggo.I'm one of those lucky (or unlucky depending how you look at it) few who are relatively easy to find with a google search. Thanks to ol' web 2.0, I show up in the top three when you just type in...

IV © Raffaella Loro I've recently been thinking about how various levels of government use various new media/social media tools to engage with their constituents. I've been reading all sorts of studies, reports, conversations about this topic, trying to...

However, when a 'long' weekend comes along usually I don't feel like they were long enough either. This past set of days off has been...

I just haven't given it the attention that it deserves. I know what I want to do with it though but...
I've been working on a 'social media' project at work recently and I've been thinking a lot about the proliferation of these tools and the changing nature of communication. Locked in my solitary think tank I have begun to focus on the obsession providing people bite-sized chunks of information, supposedly making information more manageable (As if we need to sample even smaller morsels...
