Facebook - argh…I love it…ugh…help

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

So, I love facebook and at the same time I hate it.

I love the ability to connect, but hate how clunky it is to repsond to messages from people.

I get the notification in my email but then have to log into facebook to respond. And I get messages from people, groups, causes and a whole bunch of other entities. Like 200 messages a week that I have to weed through to get the ones I know from email are there and want to respond to.

Anyone know a way to manage facebook communication better than just loging in?

Orlando March 31

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I will be in the Orlando area on Sunday night March 30 and Monday, March 31 and am looking for some “work” to do - like speaking (special pricing since I will be there anyway).

Or if that doesn’t workout then someone to just hang around with.

If you are interested in my speaking services let me know by comment or email.

First post on the new Doug Pagitt.com site

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I am back (for those vintage 1980 rockers join with me now… “in black”).

Welcome to the re-launch of DougPagitt.com. For the last few years this domain pointed toward a .mac site (that was pretty much horrible) and then directed people to pagitt.typepad where I hosted a blog for the last number of years.

But that blog was intentionally limited (but chalk-full of picture shares). I stopped putting up any thoughtful content because I found that the way people interact on blogs to be so unhelpful to creating conversation that I entered a self-induced gag. So the site became personal updates.

But that is over now.
