Branding and digital identity (webinar update & thoughts)

Interesting that the 3 big take-aways from my presentation on digital identity, networking & branding seem to be:
  • If you don't build your digital identity, someone else will. - I say this all of the time. Anyone who has heard me preach teach/talk on identity, know that I firmly believe it. It's kind of a control your destiny kind of thing. Charlie Sheen seems to have learned that. ;-)
  • Facebook has created a false sense of community by calling the NETWORK "friends". Friends implies not only a relationship but a close relationship.

Controlling twitter notifications to your phone

Go to Settings>MobileText message notifications:Twitter will send alerts to your phone, depending on your settings. You can limit it to particular times (I would not want to receive alerts in the middle of the night), or particular types of messages. You can limit to only those you allow to send to send alerts via twitter (perhaps, your family, dearest friends, or your boss, if you tweet for work); to direct messages, as well as mentions and replies.So, you'll want to think about how many times you want twitter to alert your phone and for what.

Google's Person Finder & other resources for Japanese Tsunami/Earthquake

I think the maps are especially useful but lots of good info available at the Google Crisis Response for the 2011 Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami. Google did a person finder for the Christchurch Earthquake, too, but this really encompasses much more information.
