Top VMware Blogs 2014: How I Voted

February 25, 2014 By Stephen 2 Comments

Once again, it's time for vSphere-Land.com's "Top vBlog" voting. And once again Feedbin and Twitter are full of hundreds of bloggers lamely begging for me to vote for them. And once again, I didn't base my votes on their begs or my own hunches. Follow along as I explain how I actually voted and why I think you should use the same mechanism. And no, I'm not going to say who I … [Read more...] about Top VMware Blogs 2014: How I Voted

Twitter’s Anti-Client Moves Aren’t Crazy (But It’s a Stupid Strategy)

October 5, 2012 By Stephen Leave a Comment

It seems a calculated move to drive users toward their website, but in this age of mobile, that just might be the stupidest thing a company could … [Read more...] about Twitter’s Anti-Client Moves Aren’t Crazy (But It’s a Stupid Strategy)

And waves of spam, astroturf, and plain-old marketing prove that not everyone is trustworthy. So how can one learn from social media without getting taken for a ride? It's All About Credibility When it comes to social media, your credibility is … [Read more...] about Preserving Your Credibility Is Your Prime Directive

Google Plus “Instant Upload” for iPhone Images: Two Warnings

March 2, 2012 By Stephen 2 Comments

My friend Brandon Carroll recently talked about Google Plus automatically uploading personal photos from the iPhone. His instructions are useful for those wishing to turn this feature off, I would like to add another caution: Although Google Plus' "Instant Upload" feature is not the default, and it sets them private anyway, it's easy accidentally to turn this feature on and end … [Read more...] about Google Plus “Instant Upload” for iPhone Images: Two Warnings
