I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy by Lori Andrews

On January 28, 2012, in Book Reviews, Business & Investing, Nonfiction, Social Studies, Technology, by Wilfried F. Voss

Social networks are the defining cultural movement of our time, empowering us in constantly evolving ways. We can all now be reporters, alerting the world to breaking news of a natural disaster; we can participate in crowd-sourced scientific research; and we can become investigators, helping the police solve crimes.

Are Brick & Mortar Bookstores Prepared For The Future?

On November 27, 2011, in Articles, Home Business, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

In terms of bookstores, the challenge is real. Within the next few years, we will witness the vanishing of the majority of the good old-fashioned brick & mortar bookstores. Thus, the question of “Are Brick & Mortar Bookstores Prepared For The Future?” is valid. Are bookstore owners determined and prepared to face the challenge, or do they dwell in a mixture of apathy and ignorance?

On November 21, 2011, in Book Reviews, Children's Literature, Fiction, Mystery, Thrillers & Suspense, Young Adult Literature, by Wilfried F. Voss

By refreshing their future Facebook pages, two teenagers learn that making different decisions now will affect the outcome of their lives later. And as they grapple with the ups and downs of what their futures hold, they’re forced to confront what they’re doing right – and wrong – in the present.

Blur: How to Know What’s True in the Age of Information Overload by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel

On September 4, 2011, in Book Reviews, Nonfiction, by Wilfried F. Voss

Veteran journalists Kovach and Rosenstiel (The Elements of Journalism) begin their intelligent and well-written guidebook by assuring readers this is not unfamiliar territory. The printing press, the telegraph, radio, and television were once just as unsettling and disruptive as today’s Internet, blogs, and Twitter posts.

Are You Digital Sharecropping Your Book Business?

On August 22, 2011, in Guest Writers, Reader Views, by Reader Views

You may know the definition of sharecropping as farming practices; the landlord owns the land and takes majority of the profits while individual farmers work the land. Digital sharecropping is no different. Landlords own the site and we, as authors, populate their sites with content. We sow, they reap.

Blogging: Sometimes You Do Need That Personal Shrink

On May 11, 2011, in Blogging Aspects, Professional Blogging, by Wilfried F. Voss

In general, it is my blogging policy to NOT block comments, unless they are scam (i.e. useless content not related to the post, but pointing to dubious websites). As of lately I have added another condition to block comments: Insulting comments. And yes, in some cases my posts are designed to provoke – that is in the nature of the business – but I won’t engage into fruitless fights.

Embedding YouTube Videos In Your WordPress Theme

On April 29, 2011, in Professional Blogging, WordPress plugins, by Wilfried F. Voss

In the “old days” embedding YouTube videos was only possible through incorporating Java code – as provided by YouTube – into your post. You had to do it in the HTML editing mode, and you didn’t dare to go back into the “Visual” editing mode. WordPress is at times highly allergic to implemented Java or HTML code and just removes it in Visual mode.

When Behavior On Social Media Is Deemed Antisocial

On March 17, 2011, in Blogging, Blogging Aspects, Lifestyle, Professional Blogging, by Wilfried F. Voss

Well, we all have and love our Facebook account, and may even tweet. However, especially under Twitter, it seems to be a sport for many people to accumulate as many “friends/followers” as possible. And yes, businesses are the worst. On Twitter I blocked, among many others, followers like a hypnotist from London, a firewood delivery service in Wisconsin, a horse farm in Illinois, and last, but not least a drunk bimbo in Los Angeles who posted sexually implicit messages with less than 140 characters. By the way, I live in Western Massachusetts.

On Blu-ray: The Social Network (2010) with Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield

On January 3, 2011, in Movies, DVDs, Blu-ray, by Wilfried F. Voss

They all laughed at college nerd Mark Zuckerberg, whose idea for a social-networking site made him a billionaire. And they all laughed at the idea of a Facebook movie–except writer Aaron Sorkin and director David Fincher, merely two of the more extravagantly talented filmmakers around. Sorkin and Fincher’s breathless picture, The Social Network, is a fast and witty creation myth about how Facebook grew from Zuckerberg’s insecure geek-at-Harvard days into a phenomenon with 500 million users.
