THE VERGE

Facebook mobile

Facebook mobile

by | Apr 25, 2007 |

Richard Smith alerted me to the fact that Facebook mobile is now available for Canadian cell phone users. And holy cow! did they ever do a smart job setting it up. You can customize what kinds of messages you get (friend requests vs pokes vs wall posts etc), how many messages a day (to cap messaging costs), turn off messages when you’re logged into the website (smart!), send status updates from your phone, lookup numbers in profiles…on and on. I think I have to clear my schedule for the next 3 days while I figure out all the crazy ways to use this for fun and social agitation.

This is definitely the use case for paying fido $10/mo to cover the cost of 1,000 msgs.

Looking for Oberlin alumni in social media/nonprofit technology

Looking for Oberlin alumni in social media/nonprofit technology

by | Mar 24, 2007 |

I’ve just started a facebook group for Oberlin Alumni in Social Technology” — either nonprofit technology specifically, or social media more generally. I have this theory that the nptech scene must include a fair number of Obies, and I’d love to connect with them. So I’m starting the hunt, and hoping I might even surface some fellow alums who will be at the upcoming NTEN conference in DC. If you’re an Obie and you’re reading this, please join the Facebook group or post a comment here.
