Transparency, Social Media and Where's Waldo
August 04, 2008
I'm not precisely sure at what point it happened, but it would seem that at some juncture I opted to live my life as somewhat of a group activity.
I don't know that it was particularly planned, orchestrated or otherwise arranged, but with very little exception I share pretty much everything.
Okay so that's not entirely true ... there are some subjects I've chosen to avoid altogether. There are others I raise only when utterly integral to a given story. But as a rule, the day-to-day, moment-to-moment experience that is my ever-so-mercurial ride through the world of start-ups, Silicon Valley and ... well ... life ... has become an open book.
Friends who've known me a while probably would just say that technology finally caught up to the way that I just ... am. Which, put in perspective, is that it's a pretty rare occasion when you can't tell what I'm feeling at a given moment.
If I'm happy - it's clear.
If I'm sad - it's clear.
And if I'm angry ... well, let's just say most folks don't particularly like me in the state. Frankly neither do I.
But that's not the point of this post.
I realized that unlike some of my blogosphere brethren, I don't have a sidebar on this blog that enumerates the various and sundry ways by which you can find me.
Quel horror.
And so, with a brief interlude at the keyboard, I rectify this trespass with the following selection of social media flavors. (It's not as though finding me on-line is particularly hard. Hell, just Google me and you'll see at least a few pages of accurate connections. Strangely if you remove the space between my names you get some other very interesting items. Like this video I've only just found ... )
But for those not inclined to hunt - and frankly so I have it all in one place - I've created this directory of sorts.

Whether it's one or more of these, I hope you'll connect, communicate with me and - above all - tell me what you think.

Sheesh Cathy, would you stop switching user names everywhere? It's so hard to guess which pseudonym you'll fancy tomorrow.... ;)
Interesting point about the open book. I feel social media (and especially Seesmic) has that effect on all of us to a certain extent. I used to be incredibly camera shy and a rather private person. Now I post from my bed in a face mask.
In any case, I love your writing style. Your life is a great read!
