Dispora* opensource social community (yeah, kind of like facebook, but well.. not)

Really interesting article about the progress of dispora* as well as interviews with the developers.Diaspora*—if it worked—would do everything Facebook did. But users would own their data. If they wished, they could run their own servers. There would be no data-mining. No whiplash privacy protocols. And no Mark Zuckerberg. http://nymag.com/news/features/establishments/68512/

Google ceases support for pages and files for Google groups

Well, this just sucks (as a manager of groups on google...)Google Groups will no longer be supporting the Pages and Files features. Starting November 1, you won't be able to upload new content, but you will still be able to view and download existing content. See this announcement for more information and other options for storing your content.http://is.gd/fpoMe

How to Not Give (and Give!) a Webinar (Free webinar)

Social Media Consultant (Guru, Dude, etc.) Chris Brogan is offering a free webinar on how to not/give a webinar. For many of us, webinars are becoming an increasingly important form of training and teaching (I teach Drupal classes as a webinar through Lyrasis - next intro to Drupal Class is coming up in November).Unfortunately, as many of us have witnessed, being a good face to face teacher does not equal being a good webinar teacher. I've done quite a few webinars (attended even more) and I definitely realize there is an art form to a good webinar.
