The King & I

No no... we're not discussing the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical (sorry). Rather, it's the concept of who you are and who you appear to be online. Is there a difference? Is it, as the royalty of many countries do, a combination of the public personae and your private personae? What do you share and what do you not share on social networks (do you show your public or private personae there)? How do you decide?

Let's prove 'em wrong!

Who out there is on Twitter? Anyone notice yesterday (8/5/09) one of the trending topics was "Teens Don't Tweet"?? Well, when I poked around a little bit I found a LOT of teens who do! So... a challenge for the teens out there:

Do you have a Twitter account? Get out there and let them know you're on and connected! I didn't like that a lot of the comments from adults said either "Thank god teens don't tweet" or "Teens don't tweet because they're too involved with themselves to tweet about news or politics". That's not true about the teens I've spent time with! They're some of the most involved, concious people I know- they volunteer, they are aware of the news (sometimes faster than I am...) they communicate....

So, teens... get out there and show them you are connected and aware of the world!

Want to follow us too while you're at it? http://twitter.com/AnyCollege I try to go through every few days and follow people back! (And if I accidentaly have missed you I apologize... let me know and I'll make sure to follow you!)

Social Networking: Things To Be Aware Of.

Don't get me wrong, I think social networking on the web is fantastic. I've been able to keep in touch with friends over the years I otherwise would not have. I've been able to share in some cool moments with friends who I'm not on the "top 10 people I need to call' list as they announce life changing events. And hey, who isn't touched when you get 100 birthday wishes on your birthday?

Staying With the Times: Profs, Admin and Technology

I admit, I get a bit of a kick reading about the latest technology that has come out and then reading the comments on the article to see how many prophets of doom that have a PhD attached to their name like to come out and say that whatever the new gadget is will completely ruin education, etc etc etc.

Games + College Admission

Not gonna lie, when we started talking about that I got the fun little chills that come with hearing a REALLY good idea come up.
