Tweets
- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
- @lrainie It's hard for me to do anything menacingly, and I'd try it for a classroom entrance, but I suspect the reference would be lost... 3 days ago

Should he go?
I’m in the midst of designing my graduate media law class for next semester. Even though it isn’t directly part of the interactive communication major (it’s required of all graduate students in the School of Communications, I think), I’m taking a heavily “interactive” leaning to it.

More “found data”
See, I said I would post soon! Add this to the AOL leak: Someone ran across a collection of MySpace passwords, badly hidden on a phishing server. Again, a really interesting dataset (and no, he isn’t making the data available!), but tinged by the absolutely unethical and illegal method of collection. Of course, you could [...]
Facebook retreats

I do think there are parallels between this and the release of the AOL search data. In both cases, designers failed to predict the potential privacy implications of their systems. It’s worth contrasting these with another rollout over [...]
Facebook creepifies?

So what’s in my feed this morning? (Names abbreviated a bit.) * 47 new photos of FF and friends called “Fall semester in a nutshell” [...]
