meebo is Now iPhone Friendly; More Mobile IM Resources

+ In what the company is calling a pre-alpha (aka "it's definitely not perfect"), we've learned that meebo (the web-based IM service) that provides free, one-stop access to all of the major IM services (with nothing to download) is now iPhone friendly. meebo is one very useful service but one thing the RS team has wondered for a long time is why no mobile version(s) for users of other phones and devices like Treo's and Blackberry's? Hopefully, versions for other mobile phones and devices will be coming soon. It will be very welcomed. meebo itself is a "must have" resource for libraries who are doing virtual reference (see post below about Meebome Widget (Alpha)

See Also: Note from Gary: To access AIM on my Treo (700P), I use Toccer. It's an inexpensive app that I have never had any issues with.

See Also: The Gizmo Project works not only on PC's, Macs, and Linux sytems but also works on the Treo and several Nokia smartphones. Not only can you send VoIP calls with it (see SoonR listed below) but also IM on AOL, Yahoo, MSN, GTalk, iChat, and Jabber.

See Also: AOL AIM via AOL and AIM for Blackberry.

See Also: Yahoo Messenger via Yahoo Mobile

+ Third Party App for GTalk

+ Skype Chat is available via this Windows Mobile Clients or via a service like SoonR.

Btw, various wireless carriers provide direct access to some IM services.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
