Being a Node on the social graph

Sounds scientific but it is easy to understand if you have been networking a while. The larger your network becomes the more import your individual node takes on...what are your thoughts on the implied responsibility of being a large node on the graph?

Mobility-Still the Holy Grail

Mobility is key to the "quality of life" everyone talks about when referring to their career. Divisions between work & personal life are fuzzy.

Tough...alot of us want to be that accountable but to what extent is acceptable now that these boundary lines are so blurry? Does the ettiquette exist yet? Who says which is the right way to go about things? It's not like sizing up your salad fork!

Well welcome to the mobile browsing world!
What problems have you encountered in your favorite apps that mobile browsing precludes you from using?

Smartphone or Mobile Terminal?

Will the answer to all of our computing prayers be a do everything device?
It appears to be so with the success of the iPhone.
What is to come now? I will continue this thread because it is definitely the overarching theme.
More later.
