Amazon sees renewed pressure to collect State Sales Tax

By Dan Morrill on March 3, 2010

Social Media as Storytelling

Social Media as Storytelling

By Dan Morrill on February 17, 2010

The more I look at social media, the more it reminds me of storytelling. A person can be telling stories around a camp fire with a small audience, or telling stories around the world in mass releases of information.

Our future will be more chaotic than dystopian

Our future will be more chaotic than dystopian

By Dan Morrill on February 15, 2010

We need much better logic in terms of how we handle censorship and the influence that platforms have to change how censorship is enforced. There has always been information that people did not want people to know about in one form or another. Fortunately there has always been a way to get communications in and […]

John Edwards and Tiger Woods in the Boardroom

John Edwards and Tiger Woods in the Boardroom

By Chris Yeh on February 8, 2010

John Edwards and Tiger Woods. Both famous, powerful men who projected one public image while living a completely different life in private. Both certainly deserve our scorn for their behavior. But the lesson to draw here is not that politicians are scumbags (though, by and large, they are) or that famous athletes are philanderers (though, […]

Digg needs Transparency not a new Candy Coating

Digg needs Transparency not a new Candy Coating

By Dan Morrill on February 4, 2010

That is great that Digg wants to redesign their web site and do cool stuff like making it more social. The problem with Digg is not that it is a bad system technologically; it is that it is impossible to get traction on the web site for some users because the way that the community […]

The right to Forget Law being pondered in France

The right to Forget Law being pondered in France

By Dan Morrill on January 12, 2010

Of course this is going to upset law enforcement, but in light of the hot topic of the weekend, how companies like Facebook and Google manage users privacy, maybe France might be on the right side of consumers for a change. France is not known for being particularly aggressive or progressive when it comes to […]

Corporate Reputation, Privacy and the CEO of Google

By Dan Morrill on December 11, 2009

You have nothing to hide if you are doing nothing wrong; it is a scary thought because we all have things we don’t want other people to know about. There is a line between public knowledge that we share on Facebook, Likaholix, Posterous, MySpace and the tons of other places where we leave our digital […]
