Better App For Google+ on iPad

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

One of my many pet peeves with trying to use Google+ is the lame app for the iPhone and iPad, and the inability to do simple tasks even in the mobile version of the website.

Seriously, just try and manage G+ pages, or add a link to your stream from a mobile device without jumping through serious hoops. 😉

The other day I found my solution. iShare+ is a native iPad app that allows me to do all those things. I can post a link to my G+ stream, and I can switch between my personal profile and my pages easily. It’s proven to be quite useful, and well worth the $1.99 price tag.

If you’ve been looking for a better mobile experience with G+, you could do worse than give this a try.

    Here’s a good question regarding Trillian from Mumble Daily : If it can handle some connections through a proxy server and others not that’ll be real cool. We’ll see, though, how flexible it is. Now since I’m not using a proxy at home, and it would violate the security policy I wrote to install Trillian…

    Why would you do this?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I don’t get asked this often, but it’s happened more than once, and it’s something I want to talk about. Occasionally when someone discovers my blog, and sees how involved I am in on-line communities, they’ll ask “why do you spend so much of your personal time blogging, and reading other blogs about your job?…

    Happiness Lab On How Grades And Rewards are Manipulative

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    One of the most popular arguments we hear, and one I’ve made myself, is that to truly stay informed, and avoid living in the bubble of our own political bias, we need to make sure we are getting information from a variety of sources, including ones we may not agree with.

    This study seems to be telling us that isn’t enough, and it can easily be manipulated. If I read an opposing viewpoint, and there’s no reward for doing so, I’m unlikely to really be influenced by it, but if I read an opposing viewpoint and get rewarded for it, I’m more likely to change my mind.

    Now, remember that emotional contagion we might get from social media? What if I shared one side of a political view, and got rewarded by the algorithms or whomever with lots of likes and comments, and the post got shared a whole bunch, but posts from the other side, got none of that? Which side am I more likely to agree with? Right, the one that I got better grades on. Not because it’s true, better, or more accurate, but because I am rewarded for thinking that way. Rewarded the way I’ve been my whole life, since I was a little boy, from the first time my parents wanted me to behave a certain way, all the way through my school years, and for all of my career.

    How hard would that be to fight against? Almost impossible, I’d say. How easy would it be for social media to do it, either the companies themselves, or large groups of users?

    How does that influence what we do see on social media?

    This has always been good advice, but with the advent of information from various data breaches being for sale on the web, you just can’t trust anyone, even people calling that seem to already know you and your information. “Just as you would never give out personal information if asked to do so via email,…

    System Restore

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Spent most of this morning doing another System Restore on a Compaq machine. There wasn’t any specific hardware failure or any indication as to what was happening, but it would just hang. It would go through all the normal NT Workstation boot processes, get to the start screen and never prompt me for a network…
