Targuman on Google+

In case you are on Google+ and interested in circling the wagons with me, I now have this nifty short URL: http://gplus.to/targuman I can’t say that I am heading over their full time just yet, but it is very interesting, clean, and perhaps even useful.

NB: Adam has pointed out to me that Google’s Terms of Service gives them rather significant rights to any photos or content that you load on their sites or services. I have removed those images I posted on G+/Picassa and will likely not add more until this changes.

 

Shared stories

Just a reminder that if you want to also follow what I share via Google Reader you may: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/prof.brady

You do not need to use Google Reader, by the way, to see my shared items or even to use the GR features. Or at least you don’t need to use GR directly. I useNewsRack on my iPad and iPhone which connects and syncs to my GR account. It allows me to Share, Like, and so on from within the app.

 

Sharing my thoughts on stories

I realize I am very late to this game, but if you are reading on my website you may have noticed that I added my “shared” items that I am reading via Google reader. (I use NewsRack on the iPad and iPhone which connects and syncs with Google Reader.) When I am reading stories via the web I use the Note in Reader » [drag the preceding text up onto your browser's toolbar to use it] feature to  link, share, and add my own notations to a story or website I find interesting.

Today I was reading a story about the legality of using your iPhone to record a conversation without notifying the other parties. I added a few comments along with the link and it occurred to me that no one may read them, stuck over in the sidebar. So here is how it appears on my Shared Google Reader page:

Court OKs Covert iPhone Audio Recording | Threat Level | Wired.com

via www.wired.com on 8/19/10

Targuman:
Very interesting ruling. With the iPad note apps capable of recording I have wondered how to legally and ethically use this in lectures and meetings. (Lectures are considered “public” so fair game, but departmental meetings, for example?)

Using an iPhone to secretly record a conversation is not a violation of the Wiretap Act if done for legitimate purposes, a federal appeals court has

So please feel free to check the sidebar, go directly to my Shared Google Reader page, or comment here about the items you see there.
