No such thing as spare time.
No such thing as free time.
No such thing as downtime.
All you got is life time.
Go.

Welcome to my site! Perspective is my own and I post when I have something to share. Scroll down to see the latest.
Once again, I’m hearing over and over about how important content marketing is. (For those of you who are “young”, rest assured, we’ve heard this before and it has always been true. But for the purposes of illuminating how this works in an online world dominated by social media, I thought I’d take a moment and outline this. Social media is about creating communities...
@bryankramer sits down and interviews @scobleizer what’s happending now. I’d love to have Robert Scoble’s job!
I posted back in early June (here) about my desire to be able to add unique/online video content into GetGlue’s application. The reasons for this are primarily selfish. I want to be able to discover new longtail content from my peers and promote real talent online. (If you looked through some of those videos, you’ll see what I mean.) Aside from that, does The Walking Dead really need...
I was fortunate enough to attend the Big Boulder Conference (about a month ago) with a star studded cast of data geeks and it was yet again, an amazing experience. The focus this year was decidedly international and if I had only one word to sum it up, that word would be: Brazil. (I’ve posted in the past about the Brazilian culture and it’s passion for social, here. There is and will...
Foursquare and Samsung have partnered up to allow you to visualize your check-ins. If you’re a #geoGeek like me, you’ll love this distraction! Click here and you can review where you’ve been and when. (Be sure to pause it and go step by step to see some interesting stats.) You can also export your stats as an infographic. Mine is below. (Creature of habit!) Via @drewlawrence...
Big Boulder is a great event in – you guessed it – Boulder. The focus is on Social Data and there were some amazing speakers this year. (Don’t bother trying to sign-up. It’s invite only!)
Google buys Waze for $1.3 Billion!!! Rewind Facebook buys Instagram for a $1 billion!!! Reset These companies aren’t worth anywhere near a billion dollars. I love them and they simply aren’t worth the multiples that are being paid . Why then, did they get acquired for those prices? Fear Facebook and Google are betting on the...
I love GetGlue. I like the app and the sense of community it creates. My only issue with the app -more the data – is that it doesn’t address the long tail of “TV” watching. In other words, I don’t watch TV. (Except for Bourdain.) Instead, the majority of my time watching video is online: Vimeo, Tumblr & YouTube. I have been very fortunate to find some amazing...
Here is another amazing example of data visualization from Foursquare. This one shows a comparison between New York and Tokyo and I saw this at #BigBoulder. Enjoy!
I love data. I especially love data visualization. This is a great video highlighting where people were during Hurricane Sandy. Enjoy!
