    A new compulsion to act?

    I may have got a little carried away with the newness of ‘new’ in my previous post as a context for the kinds of social actions that are taking place across SNS and in the current state of Web X.0, or whatever the version that it is that we are on right now. So never [...]

    Did someone say new?

    ‘New’ so much better than ‘old’ don’t you think. Or is it? So this week I’ve been trying to capture the actual terms, and hence have an informed social analysis, about the social and cultural consequences of digital technology. ‘New media’ as a turn of phrase seemed to provide the right level for what I [...]

    You’ve been Googled

    To continue the theme of my last post ‘Going out of your head; it’s the new brain drain’ the searches that capture online identities are having ‘real’ consequences for offline life. I have done a LOT of research into how individuals create, store and relate to information about themselves online. Hey I’m a social analyst [...]

    The Great Facebook Debate

    So last night I was at the Great Facebook Debate and the initial data that was in this post was my very basic notes taken from my mobile and posted straight out… Now that I’m on a proper screen and have access to a decent keyboard I’m going through and tidying up… and making the [...]

    Going out of your head? It’s the new brain drain!

    It strikes me that life of the Girly Geek is a busy one, one that is much improved by our (over) use of an array of technological devices designed to ‘organise’ our jumbled lives. So amongst the blah blah blah of social noise; from that email to send, poke to make, wall to post on, [...]

    Everythings peachy with industry

    ‘A funny thing happened to me on the way to bank…’ Well that should be re-phrased as a ‘funny thing happened to me on the way to a cross-industry workshop’. They (the corporate big wigs) sat up and listened. BT held a cross-industry workshop designed to identify what the industry sector leaders need to promote [...]

    Playing it too safe?

    Following a conversation about social networking and digital Web 2.0 ‘life’, it was pointed out to me that there is a gendered difference in terms of how it is ‘appropriate’ for one to orientate oneself online. The Girly Geek it seems is viewed in a context that of one whom is ‘vulnerable’ to harassment and [...]
