Controlling your Privacy Settings on FACEBOOK is cool!

Facebook has agreed to let 3rd party advertisers use your posted pictures without your permission. Click on "Settings" up at the top where you see the "Logout" link. Select "Privacy". Then select "News Feed and Wall". Next, select the tab that reads "Facebook Ads". In the drop down box, select "No One". Then save your changes. Do it now! Tell your friends!! (And Thanks Katie & Michelle for the heads up!)

Cage the Elephant is Cool.

Cage the Elephant is Cool. I don't normally talk about bands on this blog--but they are just cool...this song is especially cool as a mantra for 2009.

Barcamps are Cool

A BarCamp is an unconference. An unconference takes the old, stogy idea of a conference and turns it on its side. Instead of corporations paying for boring keynote speakers talking and waving their hands, you have the participants in the conference leading all discussion sessions.

One of my favorite BarCamps I attended last year was ProductCamp, they had sessions ranging from career advancement for product managers, to intellectual property discussions, to working with Agile development organizations, to working effectively with Sales and Executives, to user interface design. ProductCamp attracts a broad and diverse crowd of smart people who “get it,” so the networking is really good and the discussions are rich and rewarding.

Other Barcamps I have attended are Mobile Widget Apps Camp and IT Barcamp. There is an upcoming Product Camp in Austin that I am looking forward to attending. For more info on BarCamps in your area go to the barcamp wiki.
