What did the Army know about Fort Hood’s Nidal Malik Hasan?

By CRayan | November 11, 2009

A great article in Christian Science Monitor on what the army knew about Malik Hasan at Fort Hood. Could an anonymous reporting system have helped to get this information from someone at Fort Hood who would have reported information if he/she would be anonymous. Something to think about.

Has the glitter worn off of Twitter?

By rgoodman | September 11, 2009

A recent survey, reported in BizReport and conducted by myYearbook, found the bloom is off the Twitter bush.  Teens and young adults have so many ways to communicate already that Twitter is becoming just another ‘also ran!’ Facebook boasts an outrageous number of followers, but at a recent Aberdeen conference it was revealed that while the member numbers are huge, the actual users are diminishing.   According to Geoff Cook, cofounder and CEO of myYearbook, “most teens don’t use Twitter because it doesn’t enable them to do anything they can’t already do elsewhere, which is the same reason most adults don’t use Twitter.” The survey didn’t show encouraging results for Twitter.  “83% said no (to using it) and 63% believe it’s a passing fad.  The number one reason for not being on Twitter was ‘it’s lame’, followed by ‘my friends don’t use it’ and ‘I don’t understand it’.”

What did you say?

By rgoodman | August 12, 2009

New terms and descriptions come along every day.  Between twittering, texting and slanging it requires a wordsmith of the first order to make sense of it all.  Everyday new thumb saving shortcuts arise.  But for the uninitiated they represent a new and expanding language.  According to NetLingo, more than 2,000 abbreviations (instances of this new language) have so far been added to the lexicon.  Two handy distillers of the new lingo are NetLing.com and UrbanDictionary.com.  HAND (have a nice day).

Best overview of what freshmen (women) students need to watch out for!

By rgoodman | July 20, 2009

Columbia University has posted one of the best videos ever for informing students of the dangers of university life.  More than just a fright movie (or video), it is a believable recreation of the real dangers that await students at today’s universities.  It’s not meant as a ’scary movie’ but rather a sober visualization of reality.  Resiligence highly recommends that students, and parents, view and discuss the scenarios raised.  5 *****  http://www.cohncreativegroup.com/columbia/
