My last visit to Cambodia was in 2007 and I remember how frustratingly slow the wifi felt compared to high speed access I enjoyed in the US. I was able to get fast wifi and 3G on my smart phone almost every where I went, with the exception of very brief patches in rural areas when we left main roads. p/N5Kf7LlZpl/.

Experiments, snafus and stumbles December 17, 2007 I seem to have lost my head. You know why I started to twitter. BTW, I’m paranoid enough that I wrote a tool for easily finding people on Twitter that doesn’t require you to give up your Gmail account. I was underwhelmed, and forgot about it. 5 Jay 12.18.07

When I first started myspace.com/nonprofitorganizations almost 4 years ago I had no idea that it would evolve to become as large as it has, or that the brand/community/concept would spread to Facebook , then YouTube , and now Twitter. I was able then to tap into that community when I expanded into Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

July 9, 2007 So I talk a lot about both open source software, and the preciousness of one’s own data. I used to have this great system where I used the Mac Addressbook, which would nicely sync with my cell phone. It sometimes tastes yucky. I rail against vendors who promote lock-in. I tout the benefits of open source software.

Later I shared my learning with the neighborhood kids which prompted phone calls to my parents. One of my most memorable Skype calls was when I had forgot to turn switch off SKYPE during a presentation to health care nonprofits about social media in 2007. I remember taking notes and drawings. He was an early adopter of SKYPE.

The eePC is a great example, as are cell phones, media players, etc. And there still are lots of newer software and services that aren’t coming out in Linux versions (for instance there does not exist a decent usable twitter client for Linux – gwitter is not very usable at all, and the others just don’t work.)
