A Community within our Society You are what you eat; You become what you believe; I am not my art.  A 2011 study from the University of Texas at Austin's Department of Psychology titled "Manifestations of Personality in Online Social Networks: Self-Reported Facebook-Related Behaviors and Observable Profile Information" found that Facebook users are no different online than they are offline. The study also declared a strong connection between someone’s real personality and their Facebook-related behavior. Social and personality processes, according to the study, accurately mirror non-virtual environments.  It was published in the academic journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking. ...

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing, recently announced that they are launching (Q4 of 2011) a publicly accessible registry that will document the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings.  The idea is to encourage transparency of security practices within cloud providers and help users evaluate and determine the security of their current cloud provider or a provider they are considering.  The service will be free. CSA STAR (Security, Trust and Assurance Registry) is open to all cloud providers whether they...

We’ve all seen the auto-out-of-office replies, ‘Thanks for your message but I’m out until I return – contact my boss/subordinate/someone else if you need or want anything.’  If you’ve emailed me over the last couple weeks, you’ve seen a similar note.  I took some time off, then participated in F5’s awesome Agility Conference for partners and customers and then took a few more days off.  I am challenged, like many of us, to avoid work, recharge and let the brain-drain occur while ‘out of the office.’  As humans, we need to escape from our daily grind to give the mind,...

Last year I embarked on a blog series, lead by my trusty advisor CloudFucius, that evolved into an exploration of the numerous cloud computing surveys, reports, statistics and other feelings about the technology.  At the time, 4-5 surveys a week were being released covering some aspect of cloud computing and security was cited as the biggest hurdle in almost 90% of the surveys.  I also found that availability, control and a general lack of understanding were also drivers in challenges to cloud adoption.   Almost 6 months have passed since the last CloudFucius entry and I wanted to see if the...

comScore always has some very interesting statistics when measuring the digital world and these recent reports are no different.  The 2010 U.S. Digital Year in Review has great info both in understanding media trends and knowing what the end user is actually doing out there.  The 2010 Mobile Year in Review is also interesting in looking at mobile device and OS trends and the differences worldwide, both in models and what users are utilizing them for.  There are tons of graphs and analysis covering areas like U.S. Retail E-Commerce Spending, Percent of Time Spent for Top 5 U.S. Web Properties, ...

This is a test of the Emergency Blogcast System. The blogger in your area has developed this test to keep you informed in the event of a blog abnormality.  If this had been an actual blog emergency, you would have been offered a highlighted link to click for further instructions. This concludes this test of the Emergency Blogcast System. If you missed the past week, welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment and thanks for your participation, I do appreciate it.  I’m conducting a brief, non-scientific experiment.  The idea was to blog everyday this week, track the results...

If you missed the past three days, welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment; you are now a participant.  If you are a returning reader, thanks for your participation and for the first time readers, I’ve come across many stories about when is the best day/time to get the most readership exposure from a blog post and I’m doing my own little brief, non-scientific experiment.  The idea was to blog everyday this week, track the results and report back.  Mahalo for becoming a statistic, and I mean that in the most gracious way.  This is Day 4 of the...

If you missed the past two days, welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment; you are now a participant.  For the first time readers, I’ve come across many stories about when is the best day/time to get the most readership exposure from a blog post and I figured I’d do my own little brief, non-scientific experiment.  The idea is to blog everyday this week, track the results and report back next week.  Thanks for becoming a statistic.  Yesterday, I noted that it was important to have a good opening line to grab your readers, yet I’ve repeated this exact...

Welcome to Monday, typically the day most workers dread but with that extra hour of sleep yesterday, you’re amazingly refreshed aren’t you?  I don’t mind the ‘practice Sunday’ for the spring forward event but wonder with the fall back, what if you waited and changed the clocks on Sunday eve – how early everyone would be for work!  But I digress.  Also, Welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment; you are now a participant.  I toyed with The Great Blog Experiment, but ‘great’ might be stretching it.  Nevertheless - I do hope to get some decent data to report...

Well, this is the 27th entry (26 not counting the intro) in the CloudFucius Series and what an interesting ride!  What started out as a cloud version of the 26 Short Topics about Security series, soon turned into an exploration of the numerous cloud computing surveys, reports, statistics and other feelings about the technology.  I also intended to investigate areas of cloud computing that I was not so familiar with and there were a few areas that I was able to dig further – like Radio and the NFL.  Readers really seemed to like the ‘CloudFucius’ notion and while...
