Nonprofit Tech for Good

JANUARY 3, 2012

The truth is I think it has only just begun and that we’re on the cusp of a radical transformation in how we use the Internet in our personal and work lives as well as how we use it to foster social good. Now I primarily only watch the PBS News Hour and listen to NPR and the BBC on the Internet more often, but not all day.

Well, the iPhone 3G changed the equation, some. I swore up and down I wouldn’t get one. I said: I will not be buying an iPhone until they sell an unlocked version that doesn’t need to be hacked to use third party applications. The iPhone 3G does have 3rd party apps, but they have to be vetted, etc. by Apple, which is a mixed bag.

Remember last September when Facebook announced all those changes to individual profiles, including the timeline? One of the changes was that your friends and fans can do more than “Like” or “Comment” on Facebook.
