Wanting Conversation not Advertising

Sara Taylor is the former political director of the Bush White House and she has one idea [about what will be next in harnessing grass-roots political support via technology]. “We’re at a place in the country where almost everybody has a cell phone, but not many people have a smartphone, meaning a video-enabled phone.

Modified SimpleLife Lifestreaming Plugin

For the last few months I’ve been playing with lifestreaming, using the SimpleLife plugin for WordPress as the basis for this work.
