The good (or bad, depending upon your perspective):
It’s not really about you knowing what I’m doing… it’s about me knowing what you’re doing.

The bad (or good, depending upon your moral fiber):
Does that make me a stalker?

The ugly:
One-way communication went out with the telegram. Seems like there could be ways to use this productively (I liked Wendy’s idea about mentor-tracking), but until it evolves into something useful I think it’ll struggle to get past “tech-novelty” for most people.

A keyboard command that, with one click captured my screen and posted the image in the blog, might be something that I’d be able to show what I’m doing. I’m not social, my work tends to be personally rather than collaboratively focused, and the bar room style community that grows out of this thing is petty, juvenile, occassionally fun, but far from positive in the current version.

I also question the idea of “connections.” Possibly connecting has changed, and I’m out of the loop. For me, this is not a conversation, not a connection, and only provides a crude parody of meaningful human interaction.

The bad:
interruptions can make it hard to focus.

The good:
increased sense of community and knowledge of what is going on in the organization
