I got this from the excellent AIR mailing list. The benefits in particular are excellent. You can view this on the website as well. in addition to our previously announced doctoral positions (http://www.hiig.de/en/doctoral-programme/), we are now seeking applications from researchers and students for our Policy & Governance Section. Backgrounds in STS, Political Science, Sociology or… [Read more…]

One more entry into the annals of Freelance Isn’t Free. If you don’t think the ability to look a client in the eye and hold his stuff for ransom is a key business skill, you are not ready to freelance, trust me. Thusly: Client: Yeah, we’re not paying for this. Me: Why not? I’ve spent… [Read more…]

It seems our enemies the Twitter spammers have (mostly) given up on their old tactics of using an army of spambots to @-direct people to one central account, which then directs people to a website. I guess the first iteration of #OpSpamHeadChop was too effective for their liking, and Twitter is wise to their games.… [Read more…]

I love the Ideawave conferences. No matter what the topic, the timeline is ten minutes, so it’s ideal for Short Attention Span Theatre chicks like mineself, whether we’re presenting or just watching. In the last two instances, I have been presenting, so here is me from 2011 presenting on Social Media Lessons from the Homeless.… [Read more…]

This idea came to me, as all good ideas and many bad ones do, from an Anonymous supporter on Twitter, in this case NasdaqEnema. S/he did a blog post in classic Anonspeak, which contains a truly fantastic, elegant idea: How many people turned their anti-spam efforts toward the root?

Ah, Twitter, you’re a tricksy little social media platform. You facilitate drama and then you facilitate misunderstandings around the drama so well you might almost be EZBoard (may it rest in peace). And you are constantly changing the way you work, although even all these months after buying them out you don’t seem in a… [Read more…]

Yes, I’m a conference junkie, but at least I’m addicted to speaking at them rather than paying to attend. And once again, Allison Markin the Social Media Queen of the Okanagan has invited me to speak at Eat.Drink.Tweet, a social media conference dedicated to food, wine, tourism, and of course, social media. As you might… [Read more…]

This one came to me via Twitter. It’s a local Vancouver company, and I can’t tell you anything about it other than I got this from Ajay and KC and they don’t put their names behind just any old company or any old job opening. Apply via LinkedIn and may the best guru win (I… [Read more…]

Yes, it appears to be a paid gig at Spa Week. How can you tell? Well, I wouldn’t post it if it weren’t, what with unpaid internships being the way the middle-class keeps its grip on certain industries, and us being so not about that. This job is in-person, in New York, and yes, it’s… [Read more…]

I’m of two minds about CoverItLive: on the one hand, there’s nothing better at pulling in multiple realtime feeds and combining them into actual content and a coherent conversation all at once. It can even pull in emails and display media like videos and photos in the CiL box. Slick! On the other, it’s an… [Read more…]
