The Vine

Web 2.0 and the Workplace of Tomorrow - Revisited

In 2007, I was commissioned by a Fortune 100 company to perform an analysis of their company's operations and suggest means by which they could become leaner and more efficient.

And Then.... There were none. What happened to my favorite writers on the " Vine" ?

OPINION: Political debate takes it's toll. And this on line forum is a glaring example of the casualties of that war. Many quality contributors have fallen to the way side of pointless, endless, debate. They have simply opted to " Opt Out"

What's the easiest $25 you ever made?

So my Newsvine payout balance is sitting at a paltry $21.75, well below the $25 necessary for payouts. Right now, it tends to accrue about $0.08 per month, which would mean a long time before it surpasses that magical barrier. I need to do something about this.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs? Obama/Democrat Stimulus FAILURE Gets Worse (the Rhode Island 5)

Perhaps my favorite story of government failure of all time is the recent, proud (lol) announcement by the Obama Administration that the Obama/Democrat 787 bullion dollar "stimulus" bill has "created" 30,000 new jobs--6 (count 'em on your fingers) in Rhode Island alone, and less  …

Poll. Are some critics in life and in general just jealous people?

It seems to me that in life and with movies and TV shows and even on blogs, that some people see that other people are attracting a lot of positive attention and that some of those people seem to exist just to criticize the other people.

Poll. Do I Post Too Many Damn Polls?

I love polls. One of the greatest parts of Newsvine (IMHO) is asking people questions and getting their response. It comes from a real genuine curiosity about how people feel about many different things.

Trapped in the greenhouse

How many votes does it take to be freed from the greenhouse? I want to flourish on the vine with all the other cool kids!!

Is logic "dead on the 'vine," so to speak?

I've seen jeremiads for the American Dream... I've seen 'viners write op-ed pieces on almost every topic...

Are you a Newsvine addict? Computer addict? Both?

A family member recently challenged me to see if I could give up Newsvine at least for a week, and when I re-examined her points of view. I had to agree with her.

Limited Newsvine Activity

I had an unpleasant experience with Newsvine Friday PM October 16, 2009. The web site "hung" repeatedly, and I suspect that the electronic malfunctions are damaging my software in my computer.

Viners Come and Go

Reflecting on all the people that live in the Newsvine cyber world and those that have vanished. A big neighborhood of people and conversation and a plethora of information being exchanged and discussed. A new found peer group to incorporate into our daily lives.

A New Administrator

I don't think that anyone can refute that A.MacArthur is an authority on photography. His many wonderful photo essays have inspired others to do the same and have helped to increase their presence on Newsvine, the reason we have collected in this group.*

What Is The Deal on Tech Problems at Newsvine?

I bought a brand new computer, an Intel Pentium. I came with Norton security. The first thing it does is that it recommends that I NOT enter Newsvine. Well, I did anyway. Now, four days later, Norton detected a threat.

I have seen a couple of these polls floating around in other places recently and thought it would be interesting to find out how it might come out here. Thanks for participating....

Spammers, Trolls, and Chronic Abusers run rampant, does Newsvine need a 'verification system'?

In the last month, the amount of 'trolls' ,banned people returning under other names, and spammers who post comments on every article who aren't even intuitive enough to realize that 'Tyler' is not a user, but rather the moderator. (Yes, I'm calling you out.

So Aunk (the Cultural Health Guy) with his 'Hetep and Respect' got me to thinking…..

I was quite impressed by how Aunk titles himself, and how he greets posters who comment on his contributions. I liked it, and something in the back of my mind kind of felt he was on to something big, and potentially quite helpful for overall relations and satisfaction on the vine.
