  • @pant3r: Reading and will respond shortly. Pinky swear. #
  • Good advice from @jhagel: Don't just focus on making do in the short term, focus on the long term goals to ensure you are always 'ok'. #
  • Two industries seeing returns on assets: Aerospace and Healthcare. Four not doing well: Telco, Media, Tech & Auto. (via @jhagel) #
  • Must dig into @jhagel's report from Deloitte. Sounds like lots of goodies in there –> http://www.deloitte.com/us/shiftindex #
  • RT @kevinmarks Says @jobsworth Maybe defence and healthcare kept roa because it was hard for customers to extract value #sn09 #
  • Via @ellenlevy "People are going to manage themselves, their own personal brands, like small businesses." #sn09 #

  • In the Privacy and Social Web session. Only took 3 minutes before a mention of #tigerwoods came up. #sn09 #
  • IBM uses Social Media to: flatten organization, learn and influence. Encourages a culture of collaboration. #sn09 #

  • Love that IBM shares their Social Media guidelines w/the world to help others adopt – http://www.ibm.com/blogs/zz/en/guidelines.html #sn09 #
  • Ha…maybe left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing? @rstbob: Harriet Pearson is speaking on behalf of IBM. #
  • Majority of businesses want to be the 'hub' of all your interactions. Everyone vying for your attention+love. (via Anne Toth @yahoo). #sn09 #
  • Yahoo! going out of their way to let you know when profile changes/updates will be made public. Trying to raise awareness of users. #sn09 #
  • @eric_andersen @rstbob: Even at 3k IBMers on Twitter, do those numbers (incl FB and LI) feel right to you 'being in the thichk of things'? #
  • Gerard Lewis says Comcast uses Social Media as a recruiting tool. Checks out prospective employee blogs, socnets, etc. prior to hire. #sn09 #
  • Jim Dempsey from the CDT seeing a trend of users taking back control of how much data is shared publicly. #sn09 #
  • This is the best of the web, this is the worst of the web. This is the year of privacy legislation. (via Dempsey) #sn09 #

  • My question to Comcast, AT&T and the like…why should I get better customer service on socnets (Twitter) than I do when I call in? #sn09 #
  • Lewis says Comcast focused on socnets to help real-time (i.e. public complaints), working to better 'traditional' CST SVC in conjunction. #
  • @gregorygunther: I couldn't agree with you more. Companies need to fix front AND back of the house. One does not replace the other. #sn09 #
  • Says Pearson: Information should be able to be shared without the fear it will be used against you to cause harm. #sn09 #
  • Pearson continues: Easiest way to screw up privacy, is to screw up security. #sn09 <— agreed ++ #
  • CDT/Dempsey launching a privacy education campaign. Great information available at http://www.cdt.org/issue/consumer-privacy #sn09 #
  • A focus needs to happen to educate people who use the internet of what leaving a 'digital footprint' really means. #sn09 #
  • Items you post can live forever…and be seen by anyone. Understand that. Fully. #sn09 #
  • @joeld: Perfectly paraphrased, so much so…it is better than the original post. πŸ™‚ #
  • Awesome. Of all the sparkling bottles of water in the world, I get the one that explodes upon opening. #ididnotpeemypants #sn09 #
  • @vicmiclovich: That is a very 'glass is half full' kind of comment. The optimist that lives within me thanks you. πŸ™‚ in reply to vicmiclovich #
  • @briancaldwell: What letter? Ha. in reply to briancaldwell #
  • @themaria : Good luck woman. May the force be with you and the smarts be with the company (i.e. they hire you). in reply to themaria #
  • @itgEvangelist: Agreed. I was over the #tigerwoods news the day it came out. Troubles me how much *we* all want to know/talk about it. in reply to itgEvangelist #
  • Couldn't agree w/you more @coreythrace. All it takes is someone being burned by something they post…hard lesson, but it will be learned. #
  • @gapingvoid: And he can dance too. <little known fact about @timoreilly> in reply to gapingvoid #
  • Are activity streams interoperable, or are we always going to be stuck in silos (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc)? (via @timoreilly) #sn09 #
  • The thing about a lot of brainiacs being in the same room most always means there are also a lot of egos. #
  • @TonyBerkman: Possibly. When you are talking about 'the future of the web', I see brains+egos. Not necessarily bad, just observation. in reply to TonyBerkman #
  • @CoryOBrien: I'd hope so. @timoreilly just framed it well for me – as a user, I want interoperability. As business, usually not = commodity. in reply to CoryOBrien #
  • Getting the data out there is easy. Syndicating it & making it interoperable is the hard part. Via Brett Slakin, non Twitter user. Ha. #sn09 #
  • @CoryOBrien: Sure, but who is making money on the streams. They will interoperate until money comes into play me thinks. in reply to CoryOBrien #
  • RT @kitode @timoreilly – does Twitter want to be Tim Berners Lee or Google (make $)? That's what businesses are facing. #sn09 (via @dsearls) #
  • In the Real Time Flow session watching Twitter seize up as it tries to keep up with the real-time updates. #sn09 #
  • @eric_andersen: I agree…hard to count and get exact. Interesting to have 'ball park' numbers. in reply to eric_andersen #
  • Discovering and filtering is the future of the web. Here comes the 'curator' talk. #curatingisthenewblack #sn09 #
  • @mylerdude: Thank you for knowing who is the better half in that relationship. Ha. in reply to mylerdude #
  • @sallyfalkow: Would love to come down to #smcsgv, need to check schedules to see if we can make it work. in reply to sallyfalkow #
  • Thinking Brett Slatkin/Google has it right…find a way to publish your content from *your own site* and then push out to socnets. #sn09 #
  • Having your site (blog, whatever) import your feeds from socnets is backwards. OWN YOUR DATA people. #sn09 #
  • @jenniferjeffrey: I don't know, that sounds like a fine evening to me. πŸ™‚ #smalldinnerparitesonnyeftw in reply to jenniferjeffrey #
  • @JGoldsborough: Brett Slatkin = Founder of PubSubHubBub and pushes out from there. in reply to JGoldsborough #
  • @udeme: True, but I'm interested in creating archive of my digital life. For me, storing everything on Twitter/Facebook = FAIL on my part. in reply to udeme #
  • @udeme: I am not talking about writing code or building a platform. Totally different discussion me thinks. #
  • @JGoldsborough: Pushing out from my website/blog to socnets does limit 'presence', but I treat Twitter like a microblogging tool…[con't] #
  • @JGoldsborough: [con't] if Twitter goes away tomorrow, so does all my content. Posting on my website ensures I have access always. #
  • Most of my tweets are selfish: about me, thoughts I have, things I am interested/involved in. Presence not important. Archiving is (to me). #
  • @JGoldsborough: Maybe blend of both then. I like keeping in touch with folks [here], but don't expect 'interaction' on most of my tweets. in reply to JGoldsborough #
  • @JGoldsborough: Expectations are a tricky thing. Most of us don't clearly articulate them on the giving *or* receiving side. in reply to JGoldsborough #
  • Bucking out of the Sense-Making session to jump on the @smcsfsv chapter call. Programming for 2010, new President/team, all exciting stuff. #
  • @howardgr: Ha. Thanks Howard. Anything to hide the gray hair. πŸ™‚ in reply to howardgr #
  • On the hunt for the perfect something and it seems to be evading me. #
  • @zhiQ: I guess that is what makes it special…and desired in many. Ha. in reply to zhiQ #
  • @TinaHui: Silly me, thank you for catching that. @bremmel: missing 1 or 2 ladies on the list, tracking them down now. in reply to TinaHui #
  • Hindsight: what you probably should NOT consume prior to trying on party dresses – Chicken Alfredo and a pint of Anchor Steam. Whoops. #
  • In the Telecom as Software session at #sn09. Good discussion about whether or not there will be a need for 'carriers' in the future. #
  • Funny. SK Telecom says they focus on customer happiness. @dsearls just asked SK Telecom rep to buy AT&T. #sn09 #
  • Made a list. Checked it 100 times. Know I am forgetting something. #fb #
  • @KenBavier: sounds like you haven't forgiven Santa for that 'naughty list' incident. πŸ™‚ Happy holidays my friend. in reply to KenBavier #
  • Woman is tired. Woman is hungry. Man better solve one or the other or woman will add 'pissed off' to the list. #
  • Hi ho, hi ho…it's off the Paris we go! #fb #
  • <Note to would be burglars: We have a housesitter. We have an alarm. We also have a very nosey neighbor. Don't even think about it.> #fb #
  • My Heuer (@chrisheuer) heading to Paris for #smch #leweb πŸ˜‰ http://yfrog.com/4i9dcuj #
  • Lovely surprise catching a glimpse of (and a hug from) @SocialJulio. Safe travels home my friend! in reply to SocialJulio #
  • @anniemal: loving you, and thinking of you and your family. Your daddy is lucky to have a daughter like you. #cancersucks #
  • @CathyBrooks: wishing this darn sun would set so we can take off. ;). Safe travels to you and @scobleizer! http://yfrog.com/4f5x9tj in reply to CathyBrooks #
  • En route to CDG. #smch #
  • I have seen Le musΓ©e du Louvre (from the outside at least). That is all. #smch #leweb #
  • @VDog: Great day exploring with @chrisheuer @cathybrooks @Scobleizer & @suzyperplexus. Will add Brioche Doree to our list to check out. πŸ™‚ in reply to VDog #
  • @Pyplatini: Looking forward to squeezing you tomorrow. #smch #leweb #
  • My favorite photo from today, and it comes from @scobleizer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/scobleizer/4162633393/in/photostream/ #smch #leweb #
  • Fun to watch @chrisheuer @cathybrooks and @suzyperplexus in the kitchen prepping the feast for our pals from @paypalx. #smch #leweb #
