Top Ten Links Week 4

My personally selected top 10 from the links I shared on Twitter from 1/22/2010 thru 1/28/2010 “Your Brain Can’t Handle Your Facebook Friends” – great article from Mashable using Dunbar’s Number to explain why you can’t keep up with more than 150 Facebook Friends. I’m guess that applies to Twitter as well. Social Technology & an Innovative Intranet can Increase Employee Productivity give stats & examples, reminds me I need to finish my follow up post to Control is an Illusion You Need to Let Go “from social media to social action: when awareness isn’t enough.” – remember while social media helps create awareness of issues, awareness does not equal action. No retweeting or sharing on Facebook does not count as action, despite what all the women who posted their bra color might think. you buy wine, kids get books, its win win for everybody, even if its bad wine you can give it as gifts – nuf said iPad is iBad for freedom – from Free Software Foundation – a must read if you care about DRM & open source & open access. While you’re at it read these: 8 Things That Suck About the iPad and The Problem

LibraryThing adds Find Friends feature

LibraryThing adds Find Friends feature

It’s 7 am and I haven’t even finished my first cup of coffee but I’m already excited!  LibraryThing has added a Find Friends feature! Sweet!   One of my favorite tools, as a librarian, a book lover, goes even more social! It has the usual option to find people using your email contacts, but also a way to search for friends using your “also on” connections.  Which is awesome because there are some people I’ve never emailed who are in my Twitter account (Facebook isn’t supported yet).  I have to say as someone who has, more than once, accidentally spammed all of my contacts with an invitation to some new site, I’m thrilled to see the precautions they’ve taken against that sort of thing.  LibraryThing, I gotta say it, you guys rock!

FriendFeed takes stalking to a new level

FriendFeed takes stalking to a new level

Or maybe it’s just me. :-) Like most of us I spent a lot of time checking out new sites and online tools.  Some of them like, twine, zigtag, and brightkite, I play with for a while then drop for one reason or another.  Others stick with me, likeFriendFeed.  I know it’s been around awhile, but I just started playing with it.  There is a lot I like about it, but sometimes it makes me uneasy.  I feel like I’m spying on all these people, I mean I can see their blogposts, del.icio.us bookmarks, Flickr favorites, books they plan to read from Goodreads or Librarything.  Granted I’m probably their friend in all those places anyway and already have access to that information, but now I don’t even have to look for it, FriendFeed brings it right to me (even emails it to me if I want)  Of course there is also the obvious fact that they created the FriendFeed account for just this reason.  But still I feel a bit like a stalker.  Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
