I’m back in Honolulu after my conference, and I am catching up with my social media sites today. Some of the sites have reasonable mobile versions, so I was able to post updates and stay current through my phone or my iPod’s WiFi connection:
At least one of my sites offer mobile versions with very limited feature sets:
- LinkedIn offers a contact list. On an iPod Touch, it’s a little clumsy to use. Other than that, there’s hardly any useful content available.
Some of my favorite social media sites have no mobile versions at all. Bookmarking sites are a good example, as most of these sites are designed to support desktop and laptop users. Mobile phone users have to use their browser’s bookmark menu.

I’ve spent a week in Orange County without a car. It was a nice change of pace. Anaheim is walkable, at least around the Anaheim Convention Center and Downtown Disney.

For the last few months, I’ve been involved in Charles Wankel’s latest crowdsourcing project. He’s leading a team of several hundred managers and scholars who will contribute to Managing Through Collaboration. The paper edition of the book will be published in January 2010 by Routledge.
I’m editing Chapter 22 on information technology and e-business. Almost 400 of the contributors are at the Academy of Management meeting in Anaheim, and I’ve participated in several editor and chapter team meetings during the conference.
I’m also working on social media and a blog to support the project. Many of us are on LinnkedIn and Facebook, and I’m setting up a FriendFeed room for the project.

Yesterday I was doing some grading while I was at my conference. I set up my MacBook Pro on a comfortable and prominent site - an unused registration kiosk by some conference rooms. It was also convenient to the free conference WiFi, which is a bit more reliable than that darned hotel WiFi signal. I recorded my first video blog posts while I was sitting in that seat.
Within 2 hours, I had met 8 Mac users who just wanted to chat. While more management professors use Windows than Macs, Two asked for help accessing the WiFi signal.
Once again, a triumph in friendly end user support, courtesy of your humble Herr Doktor Professor Sodeman.
