My Facebook Apps

Fbapps_3Connie tagged me for a list of my Facebook apps. Here they are in their varying degrees of glory!

Info mgmt and sharing

  • Groups
    I make sure I can access my groups quickly so I can see what's going on without having to dig around, hence above the fold
  • Posted Items
    I post a lot and so do my Friends. I like to see this stuff, to me it is like del.icio.us but more public info push than personal bookmark mgmt
  • Notes
    I import this blog, and I have been experimenting with using the Notes features a bit more. I think this is a really powerful app.
  • Photos
    <3 photos
  • Twitter
    I get my tweet on. This app is pretty lame actually, I just keep hoping it gets better someday soon.
  • FriendFeed
    Awesome service I am liking a lot.
  • Video
    Facebook Video is pretty awesome and powerful.
  • My Questions
    Still on the fence about this one. Has not been a big value yet.

Friend mgmt / visualization

  • Socialistics
    I really want to like this, but have not used it a lot. It does tell me some interesting stuff every time I use it.
  • TouchGraph Photos
    Really powerful way to visualize your social graph
  • Friend Wheel
    This one is a fun visualization. I just think it's purdy; of little actual use.

Fun

  • LOLCats
    Need I say more? This is one of my faves, note its stack rank.
  • Red Bull Roshambull
    Fun, engaging and interesting as a marketing tool.
  • Movies
    Submitted to peer pressure on this one. I don't really watch movies much at this point in my life. Other more intense things going on...
  • Books iRead
    I don't use it a lot, but I like keeping track of books I read so this one should do it right?
  • Cities I've Visited
    I like to see them and then look at the giant gap of places I have never been as a motivator to get my butt travellin!
  • Gaping Void
    As with LOLCats, need I say more? Hugh Mcleod is brilliant, funny, dark and optimistic (sometimes). Great stuff.

Other important

  • Developer
    Need it.
  • dotName
    Interesting idea. I don't know how successful it is at what it tries to do (point your real name at your Fb page.) Check out mine: http://clay.newton.name
  • Events
    Because I am a loooser family guy and can't go to a lot of events, this one actually just depresses me. But I use to show my peeps what they should be going to.
  • Causes
    I love this idea. Too broke to make a difference with cash, that's why I always stand up for what I believe it loudly.

Soon to die

  • Superlatives
    Stupid.
  • Resume
    Weak.
  • Easy Poll
    Haven't used.
  • Upcoming
    Don't use enough.
  • Utterz
    Ditto.
  • Mac Lover
    Wack.
  • Flickr Photos
    Why I have FriendFeed
  • Sudoku
    Haven't even played it once.
  • Interactive Friend Graph
    A fairly superfluous visualization tool. Touchgraph rocks it outta position.
  • Neighborhoods
    I have never looked at this. Almost no one I know uses it. The reason I got it was I have been put in the Napa/Sonoma network, and I don't feel that is granular enough. Maybe it'd be cooler if I lived in the city?

I tag Rick Munoz, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Niklas Johansson. Be good sports guys :-)

Leadership I lead by inspiring and influencing my team, peers and partners. Experience Advocacy For me, design distills to one thing: creating experiences that inspire. Integrated, personalized experiences resonate in ways that turn consumers into the strongest brand advocates. As a matter of practice, I dig for the experiential secret sauce; I infuse every conversation and project with my findings. Driving Change An avid learner and researcher, I keep myself as far ahead of the curve as possible. Incremental changes in the tech and social landscape provide profound avenues for tweaking the fabric of people’s lives. With an eye to these trends, I keep my tools sharp, open to latent synergies and emerging disruptive concepts. Team Development Collaboration is at the core of my professional and personal ethos; I nurture open conversations and game change in my staff and teams, engaging them through continuous development, a robust collaboration platform and leadership. Technical Background I have worked in waterfall to XP environments. I have designed, developed & architected solutions ranging from boutique shopping experiences to business intelligence dashboards and highly configurable transactional systems. User Experience Design Wireframes and schematics, flow diagrams, experience style guidelines and pattern libraries, taxonomies, content inventories, prototypes, information architecture diagrams. Usability & Research Persona development, user stories and use cases; ethnography, contextual inquiry, heuristic evaluation, creating research protocol, recruitment, prototype development, quantitative business research, click-path; results analysis; stakeholder presentations. Leadership & Management Formed and directed: Experience Design, Interaction Design, Web Development teams. Performance planning, peer coaching, writing and administering associate development protocol; driver of excellence in product and process. Innovation & Change Three business and user-interface patent applications awarded; 7 more pending patent applications open. Active in a number of innovation workgroups and forums. Recipient of 4 Spirit Medallions, the 2007 World Class Customer Experience Award and the 2007 Award of Excellence. Beyond the Office Proud and active parent and partner (ZZ, 3 years old; Haley, 8 years old; Bryan, 9 years old.) Founder of a number of community forums and clubs focusing on children, local politics, local ecology and gardening. Reader, surfer, (bad) musician, lover of the the outdoors & avid emerging technology researcher.
