inThirty 81 – Social Sharing

Leave a reply

SocialSharingIconsOn this episode the guys talk about how they like to social network.  Turns out the guys all truly hate the state of social networking to the point that they sound like the elders on the internet telling ‘them ‘youngins to get off their damn lawns.

Part 1: We talk about Falcon Pro’s Twitter API limiting.  We all agree that we care because users bring social interaction to Twitter.

Part 2: Next Chaim details the new Google+ oAuth offering.  Spoiler alert:  Chaim loves it, Harry says he rather iCloud (whatever that means).

Part 3: We go back into discussing what should be the new social network.  We talk about App.net’s freemium model.

[Editor's note: We should be back to normal in terms of posting.  New episodes should be out on Friday].

inThirty 75 – Search Yourself

Leave a reply

facebook-graph-search-logo

In this week’s inThirty the guys ask the Facebook Graph Search for “All users who thinks that Chaimtime looks like Adam Sandler,” and “All users who have listened to inThirty.”

After we get the hysterics out of the way, we discuss is this natural language search, the search of the future?  Who does it right? Who does it best? Where is Apple in all of this?

Let’s go trolling. For the 32nd episode of inThirty we decide to wade into the reeking cesspool that resides under a lot of YouTube videos and most tech blog posts: the comment section. After comparing the (almost) anything goes comment policy at Chaimtime.com to the (absolutely) nothing goes one at CuriousRat.com, we discuss whether internet comments are useful at all and our favorite places to get into flame wars. By the time we get into which discussion forum technology is best, we start mangling the pronunciation of a lot newfangled web-two-point-oh sites. Sound off on which hosts’ elocution was best, where else, in the comments.

Are You Secure?

Harry got hacked, Chaim’s students got busted, and Justin got frustrated: on today’s inThirty we take you to the dark side of the internet where chatbots looking to get lucky steal your Facebook password and use proxy servers to bully your children.
We discuss the virtues of two-factor authentication for logins, the best way to manage tons of passwords, and discover how many character classes it takes to secure an FTP password.

New Media: Jersey Shore Hurricane News

Leave a reply

The National Weather Service’s recommendations for putting together a hurricane preparedness kit include food, water, blankets, and a first aid kid. We think they left something out: Facebook.
When Hurricane Irene was still an unnamed tropical depression, Justin Auciello created the Jersey Shore Hurricane News Facebook Page as a homegrown, “bottom-up, two-way news outlet”. Having garnered more than 24,000 likes since its inception, Justin takes us through the motivations and methods behind JSHN and discusses how he dealt with sponsorship offers, vetting and managing the influx of news tips from the community, and developing journalistic standards. We also discuss how Twitter compares to Facebook as a platform for disseminating information during a time of crisis and how new media generally fits into people’s understanding of unfolding events.

Thanks, Justin Auciello!

Harry was on Christmas vacation and couldn’t join us on this episode, but don’t worry, he didn’t get coal in his stocking.
