Where have I been?

Been a long time since I've posted. But social media is becoming hyper-social. You could spend all day on Twitter , Facebook , You Tube and I guess plenty of others. I think all those aforementioned platforms have become more popular than blogging, due to our obsession with multi-tasking, achievement, competition and measurement. You can only use 140 words in Twitter, and Facebook entries are similarly short. You can measure tweets, retweets, followers, likes, and now even your Twitter ranking on Klout. And of course you don't have to write at all with You Tube. And it's insidiously fracturing our lifes. It turns the riddle of "If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?", to "If I don't tweet about it, is it real?"

But what have I been doing? Working a lot. Producing video from a series of "Mom blogger" conferences for J&J, asking Moms, and some Dads, "How are you using social media for social good?"  See highlights below. The last one, Mom 2.0, was held in New Orleans, where the weather was warm, the bread pudding superb and the mint juleps perfect!  I even tried an interview myself with comically horrific results. It was good to laugh though. I promise that I will blog some more. In fact, I'll try again after I tweet the fact I blogged, post the blog entry on Facebook, pinged Technorati, and had my third cup of coffee!
