So, I managed to log on after only four attempts today. My method of stubornly typing in all four of the password variations I use, instead of actually looking at where I have written it down is a habit that persists from the good old days of programming. Those were the days that even if [...]

While skimming through the very excellent Unfiltered Orange (http://orangelt.us/about/news-events/unfiltered-orange/) for the latest e-Discovery news, I came across yet another post talking about the dangers of Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking sites (http://www.mediacastermagazine.com/issues/ISArticle.asp?id=99515&issue=05012009).

Being an analyst is a funny old thing. I’ve been talking about e-Discovery for a few years now and so much of what I said and wrote for Gartner at the beginning of the current e-Discovery hype seems very old news indeed. One of our cardinal pieces of advice is that in matters of data [...]

Having finally been convinced that blogging might not be such a bad thing after all and it was almost certain that it would NOT bring about the end of civilization as I had previously believed, I now find myself having to pay attention to YASSS (Yet Another Social Software Site), namely, Twitter.
