The 2011 NOT Mashable Awards Nominees for REGULAR PEOPLE
![]() Where Are the Regular People? Meet the 2011 Mashable Awards Nominees: Each year the Mashable Awards honors the best in digital media, companies and personalities. This year, we have 196 nominees across 4 majors categories up for 28 total awards. As always, you, our readers get to choose the winners. The Mashable Awards will be decided over the next few weeks by popular user vote. I've got a problem with this. Where are the regular people? I'm not a big fan of award shows, unless I win one. ;-) The Mashable Awards are just a popularity contest. I don't want to vote for Famous People in Social Media. I want to vote for people that I know: Regular people. Why can't they be nominees too? Well, they can. I made my own award. The 2011 NOT Mashable Awards Nominees for REGULAR PEOPLE. Survey Monkey required me to add a choice, so I added some REGULAR PEOPLE who I follow and who recently showed up on my twitter stream. I added: Gavin PurcellThere's an OTHER category for you to add your own choice. Add some PEOPLE, VOTE and HAVE FUN. [Ad: Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.] Note: This is a BASIC Survey Monkey Plan that allows for 100 votes. I'll probably end it there and share the results, otherwise I'll share the results on December 17th. You've got one vote. Don't get me started on the 'come back every day to vote' thing. Oh my. Sharing Results with Survey Monkey is a Pro Feature. "PRO FEATURE: You can share the results of your survey with others, without giving them access to your account. To share your responses, upgrade to a professional subscription." Some of my nominees wrote books! Saturday, November 26, 2011

Flash Mobs become Flash Robs. Axis Communications Surveillance Cameras Catch Crooks in HD
Fredrik Nilsson, North American general manager for the Chelmsford, Massachusetts based Axis Communications, a major maker of surveillance cameras, joined NECN to talk about protecting against flash robs. As soon as I saw his camera on the interview I said, that's the same camera as the DropCam. Very cool. I've tried an evaluation DropCam unit and it works great. It allowed me to watch my home during a hurricane while I was in Paris. ![]() Image: Testing the DropCam

Looking back at my old blogroll sidebar links
Back when blog rolls, in your blog's side bar, was a thing. I kept mine up to date with lots of interesting sites. Now, I don't even use a blog feed reader. The interesting posts from my friends pop up in my social media stream. Recently I came across an old blogging friend from England, Bloggerheads. He used to be on my sidebar. This prompted me to look at my blog's HTML code to look at who else I used to follow. I'd commented out the blogroll years ago. Keep in mind, I started this blog 11 hers ago in November of 2000. Hey. November 30, 2011 is my 11 year Blogger blog anniversary! Here's my first month of blogging. BTW, lots of my images from the past 10 years are going to go away when Apple discontinues iDisk support. Not sure what I'm going to do about that. I started blogging by hand back in 1997. ;-) Here's the blog roll.

Videoblogging (Livestreaming) Comes Of Age #ows #ustream
![]() Great article: Videoblogging Comes Of Age on techPresident: Using his Samsung Galaxy S2 cell phone, a 4G network, a free Ustream account, and Twitter and Facebook to alert viewers to new broadcasts, the 25-year-old Pool is demonstrating what could be the future of broadcast, networked citizen journalism, where interaction with viewers is real-time, and where anything can happen.There's also a link to a Vloggercon 2005 post, by Micah L. Sifry, as a bonus. Vloggercon 2005 was the first gathering of videobloggers :-) I'm spending Saturday morning at Vloggercon 2005--the first ever face-to-face gathering of videobloggers--in a packed conference room at NYU. There are over 50 people here, including two women from Italy, a guy from Norway and one from Chile, all who came to NY just for this event. There's a sense here of being part of the birth of a new medium, one that has all kinds of interesting potential.Thanks Sarah Lai Stirland. Here's a photo of me and Amanda Congdon from Vloggercon 2005 in NYC. ![]() Here's a photo of me Bre Pettis and Chuck Olsen from Vloggercon 2006 in San Francisco. ![]() Also, here's a photo of me and Zadi Diaz from Vloggercon 2006 in San Francisco. ![]() My book, Get Seen, teaches you how to live stream and interviews a bunch of successful videobloggers. Also has a little history in it.

![]() .@TheXFactorUSA How can I send you a DM to vote, when you are not following me?, a photo by stevegarfield on Flickr.

Go here: http://twitter.thexfactorusa.com/ ![]() Makes no sense. Update: ![]() Click here to vote for Drew via Twitter. Update: If you go to twitter.com and DM @TheXFactor it works without them following you back. Curious. ![]() On the Twitter for Mac client, as shown above, it doesn't work. Update: ![]() isaach: thanks for the bug report. it's a known issue with the mac client and i'm working with that team on it.Thanks! Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Heineken DM'd Me: Don't Share Our Content with Those Who Can't Drink Beer
Note: If you are under the legal purchasing age for beer in your country, do not read this blog post: "Thanks for following. Our content is intended for people of legal purchasing age so please don't share it with those who aren't. Cheers!" I tweeted back with a DM: "Seriously? I can't control who sees my tweets. I've got 26,886 followers." My DM was rejected because Heineken isn't following me. Discuss.
