But Anthony has not changed his profile picture in five years, or ever uploaded a cover photo. This is because in July 2010 he died in a tragic car […]

Google+ : Facebook :: ____ : ____

By Kathleen Kalk on June 30, 2011 | Tagged with facebook, google, privacy, social_network

Exploring Google+, the just released social networking service from Google is like walking through an unfinished house. The frame is there but it’s missing the people and pictures on the walls that make it a home. As the invites roll out and more people sign up though, that’s sure to change. Still, even just the […]

By Kathleen Kalk on March 14, 2011 | Tagged with Connect, digital tattoo, privacy, social_network, statistics

Over at Ragan’s PR daily, Adam Vincenzini has released an interesting collection of social media statistics for this year. Among my favorites: 80% of internet users participate in groups, compared with 56% of non-internet users. Moreover, social media users are even more likely to be active: 82% of social network users and 85% of Twitter […]

Phweeter: an imposter tweeter Julius Malema, the controversial youth leader of South Africa’s governing ANC (and recent hate speech convict), is battling a new front to salvage his reputation – this time against Twitter. The divisive politicien has threatened to shut Twitter down if it does not address the not one, not two, but 12 phweeters tweeting in […]

Word of Mouse

By Kathleen Kalk on October 11, 2010 | Tagged with Connect, privacy, sharing, social_network

This blog is just a quick shout out to the unheralded good social media and social networks have brought to the consumer world. While privacy advocates bemoan access to anonymous personal information for advertisement profiling, network users have struck back en masse at ‘the man’ with a bit of profiling of their own.
