These open source projects are leading the way:

The only thing missing is a robotic body to put this stuff in.

No Facebook or Twitter for a Week

What could go wrong?

The Bad:

  1. Work now requires me to put into my timesheet how long I take for lunch.
  2. I missed an appointment on Thursday that was in my facebook events
  3. I missed wishing @angmoore Happy Birthday on her Birthday. Happy Birthday, Ang!
  4. I missed the Flickr Party which was in my facebook events
  5. There’s a lot of side work that I missed from search.twitter.com It’s really a great tool for finding work.
  6. I explained to some folks why I hadn’t approved their friend requests or follows in person. That led to interesting conversations.

The Good:

  1. I felt a lot more focused
  2. There is a shared illusion of connectedness that can prevent you from achieving your dreams. I won’t let that happen to me.
  3. I avoided making any embarrassing statements, grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes
  4. I enjoyed really focusing on people physically close to me.

Nuggets of Wisdom:

  1. I didn’t miss twittering unless I was at a party or bar where I didn’t know anyone.
  2. Twitter’s search is Foucault’s panopticon.
  3. It’s what you don’t do on Facebook that gets you hired.
