Is It ONLY ME? Disabling Facebook Places In Pursuit of Privacy

August 19, 2010 by Amy Jussel 14 Comments

August 19, 2010 Today is World Humanitarian Day and I definitely needed this inspiring humanitarian video to gain some perspective on humanity. (fab 4 mins after the jump, and a how-to disable vid on Facebook Places too!) I don't know why anyone would give a flying fig about my whereabouts, but I DO know I've had my own personal safety blogger moments and am frankly … [Read more...]

Age of Conversation & Kids: Digital Citizens v Snark Tanks

May 26, 2010 by Amy Jussel 8 Comments

May 26, 2010 When I mention social media being part of kids’ identity, parents often cringe and squinch up their faces like I’ve force fed them BeanBoozled Jelly Bellies in pickle and ‘rotten egg’ flavor. Some parents perceive social media to be one behemoth danger zone of Facebook/Formspring/Game Chat/Text-fest "words that wound"---injuring kids like drive-by hit-n-run … [Read more...]

CoLABoratory of Creativity: Program for the Future 2010

March 1, 2010 by Amy Jussel 3 Comments

March 1, 2010 Once upon a time, I spent 25+ years as a creative director at virtual agency: Copy/Concepts. Collaboration came very naturally to me, as we all divvied up our specialty areas and functioned as one global brain with seamlessness and ease. Now as a nonprofit? Not so much. The nonprofit world is new to me, with all kinds of new fiefdoms to learn, toes to step on … [Read more...]

January 15, 2010 by Amy Jussel 12 Comments

Jan. 15, 2009 Thought I’d wrap up Part Three in this series on digital addiction vs. agency (part one and part two here) with some humorous insights from the medical community that poke fun at some very REAL research dilemmas. Clearly there are quirky flaws in how the entire DSM process takes shape (DSM V= Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders aka the big … [Read more...]
