BluePulse: Mobile + Social Networking

We thing mobile and social networking might just a useful "thing" (next "big thing," perhaps) especially in education and libraries.

From the site:

Bluepulse is a free mobile social messenger for you and your friends. You can message your friends from bluepulse using their email address, phone number, name or group name. You can receive all incoming messages and profile updates in 1 inbox. You can also build your profile and share pictures and videos with 1 friend or a whole group really easily. Get message alerts via email or SMS and expand your network by being introduced to your friends' friends - all from your phone, all for free.

Bluepulse will of course work on your mobile device and automatically detect your mobile browser.

New and of possible iinterest to info pros and educators: Private Groups.
Send messages to a select group of people about a new book, new article, class project, etc. with a single post to those in the private group you've built. Something journalists might also find useful.

also, Public Groups:
These connect you with people who share similar interests. Just like a private group, once you've joined you'll see any messages that get sent to
the group and you'll be able to message everyone within that group. The difference with public groups is that anyone can join them and a friend can browse your public groups from your Pulse. Just make sure that if you start your own group you give it some good tags so people can find it and join the conversation.

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?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
