Drupal and Joomla are great tools, but for most of my client’s needs (I’m a web designer/packager), using one or the other is akin to taking a chainsaw to the Thanksgiving turkey when an ordinary carving knife will suffice.

What say you?

Interesting stats on WordPress vs. Drupal vs. Joomla.

Maybe I live under a rock…but I hadn’t see this before.

Hey there, I’m Brett, and I’m an engineer here on the Google+ Circles team. We’ve

been hearing that you want a way to reorder your circles — so when

you add people, view your stream, or share, that list of circles is in

the order that works for you. We thought it was a great idea, and today, we’re launching this on Google+.

Let me show you how it works. Go over to the Circles tab and down to your circles. Now you can move your circles wherever you want, just by clicking and dragging with the mouse. Plus, that order will now show up everywhere across Google+, even in the dropdown menu when you add people to circles.

I hope you like it. And as always, please keep letting us know what we

can do to make Google+ better for you.

It’s been 1 month and 1 day since I started using Google+… In light of that…. Some notes…

1) I circle LOTS of people I dont know… I find you because you have a nice comment on a post i’ve seen..Perhaps you were a recommended “friend of a friend” or in some other similar manner as this… I suggest you give this a try too 🙂 Think more twitter/myspace and less facebook in this regard… It makes google+ much more interesting then just your 5 real life friends who are not posting much.

2) I do a lot of public posts. I like Comments and Pluses and Reshares… Its easier to have a convo here than on twitter.. but the ideas are the same 🙂 I post public because I might find a cool person who I havent circled back yet… because they are able to comment on my public posts. (public = twitter)

3) Hangouts are a lot of fun. I know.. I know.. the idea of video chat with random people can seems odd… but its a TON of fun to hangout with people from all over the world. Previous hangouts i’ve hosted include pictionary, charades, and “what does McDonalds have in your part of the world”… There is also some great serious conversation and business networking too.. If you are still not sure about it…+mention me and we can try it out sometime.

That is all. 🙂 Happy 1 month Google plus….

Late to the game, I know…but I finally made my Simpson’s character

Really?

LMAO

The Internet, according to MTV circa 1995, the year I went to college.

At orientation, I recall getting a small piece of paper that read benschmi@umich.edu.

Someone said, “That’s your email address.”

And I said, “What the hell is an email address?”

I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Chee a few times 🙂 Great interview.

When Sergey Brin and Vic Gundotra asked Chee Chew (heading of Google engineering in Seattle) a few months ago how long it would take to integrate video chat into Google+, he said “it would take only a few minutes and proceeded to set it up immediately.” He had already been working on video chat in Google Talk. If this is true, imagine what will happen as Google execs ask other Google engineers to integrate other Google products into Google+ as well! I can’t wait for Google News and Google Reader and Google Books and Google Scholar and Google Alerts, for example, to be integrated into Google+ where the fairly weak Sparks exists today.

Great post on Reuter’s blog – the story behind Google Hangouts:

I’m sharing this again. We had to delete it because it wasn’t posted in the correct YouTube channel. Now you can share away! 🙂

For when you’re in a hangout with Russians…
