Who’s Hot and Who’s Not in Social Networking

March 25, 2008 by Erika · Leave a Comment 

I just ran across this on Mashable and decided to share the post with you via Flock.

My thoughts are that it’s interesting how MySpace is declining in unique audience, although people are spending a lot MORE time on the site overall. Why? Well, as someone who has a MySpace network that has reached the up side of huge, and given that many of my “friends” are actually REAL friends on there that I physically friended, (as in met in person and know), and as such requiring things like occasional posting, chatting and updates or I start to get hoards of “Where are you???” email…… I can understand why people are spending more time on MySpace when they do get up the courage to go there and deal with the upkeep.

Are Bloggers real Journalists?

March 14, 2008 by Erika · Leave a Comment 

With Web 2.0 blogging becoming the mainstream news network, once again we are facing questions about who is considered a “journalist” or “professional” writer, and given the same access to sporting and press conference venues.The news item below about bloggers being banned from the Mavericks locker room caught my eye because as bloggers I feel we are a unique breed of reporter that is on the edge of the web 2.0 revolution, and not yet fully credentialed by more traditional “press” corps… Or are we?

Ok,  I have to say that anyone who thinks Tech is NOT a hot dating draw is seriously offline. Technology is sexy, women who are into technology are sexy and this trend will only get bigger. Helen Fisher in “Why We Love” goes into detail how dopamine effects love and attraction, and well, nothing gets the dopamine going like the lastest cool gadgetry for both men AND women.  Read more

Brilliantly Post-Technological

February 27, 2008 by Erika · 1 Comment 

Tech-Goddess ErikaTech-Goddess ErikaErika here, your personal Tech-Goddess, and as Stargate fans would say, “Brilliantly Post-Technological”.
What has inspired me to start tech-blogging is the awareness of web thinking, and the ability to put a label on what web thinking is, which led to the epiphany that those moments of profound overwhelm where my mind sees or hears something new and instantly creates maps and connections to seemingly unrelated concepts, objects or realities all interwoven back to a central truth are related to a shift in mental perception and logic that is global. It’s a shift from linear logic to whole-brain and more of a web logic that connects everything to everything else in coherent way.As we are bombarded with new technology, information and applications, I feel there is a search for relevance and theme, something that I can contribute by my own process of web thinking and insight.In “The First Sex” author Helen Fisher notes, “women more regularly think contextually; they take a more “holistic” view of the issue at hand. That is, they integrate more details of the world around them, details ranging from the nuances of body posture to the position of objects in a room”.

I feel that this is a subtle shift in thinking that is also happening with men and the male brain globally. It’s a search for connection and meaning.Web thinking, in tech, means that if you show me the prototype for a new kind gadget, first my brain flips through the emotional connects of whether I actually like it and would use it, and then begins connecting to how it would be useful to me, to you, to others, to humanity, and what kind of emotional and psychological impact does it have as a whole

Then from the emotions I flip over to the logical, just HOW useful is it? I start thinking of applications, and where it will or will not be relevant, then imagination kicks in and the timelines all happen at once. Can I see myself, other women, other men using this? How does it look, feel, taste, smell as I live their experiences? How much easier is it making my life in the scenarios? Is it viral? Or, is it just a really bad idea?

Digging deeper I want to know if this new gadget will benefit your business, your life, your family and HOW. Is this something we are evolving towards, away from or through? Where does it all converge back into one truth, and what is the core essence from the singular person to a world and universal level.

All of this happens for me in a few seconds of paralyzing brain freeze, something I thought at one time was lethal and radical daydreaming but now see as (Stargate inspired) post-technological web thinking.

In short, my intention is to look at tech and offer insight and instruction from a larger view. Let’s look PAST whatever current tech, gadget, trend or viral video we are talking about to the future we are evolving towards where technology is organic and our awake minds not only interfacing with the tech, but ARE the tech. (Post-Technological)

Can you imagine a world where call phones are no longer needed because our brains have learned to dial the “frequency” (like the current phone numbers) of the person we wish to call, and then we use telepathy to have a conversation? When I see something like the new nano-tech phone concept I’m reviewing here soon, I’m seeing communication and tech moving post-tech, BACK to the FUTURE, to organic

Ancient or Future?
You decide.

Your Tech-Goddess, Erika
