  • @dhmspector Awesome! I've always suspected that 90% of the world's population were fated to be my mindless automoton slaves! #
  • Philadelphia Mayor Nutter signs landmark city open data policy: http://t.co/hSmGRXF3 #
  • RT @jhagel: The imperative of institutional innovation – pervasive and growing loss of trust in all institutions http://t.co/zRx68Ck7 #
  • @sivavaid Penn's Doug Lynch resigned (appropriately) b/c he falsely claimed completion of a PhD. Nothing to do with his work being "exposed" #
  • @sivavaid Thanks. I do admit to curiosity on what Penn does to replace Lynch, as he was a creative but controversial guy in the ed space. #
  • Smartphone in 2013 with 200 gigaflop processors, scaling to teraflops? That was a supercomputer not long ago. http://t.co/ftvWpg86 #
  • New study: By 2015, over 50% of #gamification presentations will mis-quote impressive-sounding but thinly-sourced Gartner stats. #

  • My colleague Jerry Wind on Orchestration as the New Managerial Model, from the new Wharton/Google ThinkInsights series: http://t.co/TjnhcsVG #
  • Grats to an educational gamification pioneer! RT @denisateme: @StevenLJohnson congrats on the Teacher of the Year award! Yay! #FoxITAwards #
  • Great #gamification panel at @phlgamelab conference yesterday with @gzicherm @chrislarry33 and Stephen Jacobs. Thanks @nathans! #

  • YouTube teaser for my Coursera gamification class: http://t.co/Ql5qmqKv. Don't let my laid-back tone fool you; the course will rock! #
  • Wharton launches new branding initiative: "Knowledge for Action". http://t.co/fKPYud5n #
  • At @princetoncitp event on Administrative Agencies in the Electronic Age. Thinking back to coding the FCC website on my laptop 15 years ago. #
  • @Buzzsonic Penn (& specifically Wharton), not Penn State. We built the 1st computer; they have a football program in some controversy. #
  • @larrydownes is right in http://t.co/mHTseHgm about the spectrum problem, but not the answer. I explained why in 2004: http://t.co/vy5hqGx0 #
  • Can't get there from here with exclusive-use wireless spectrum. Only sharing provides enough capacity. Even more true than a decade ago. #
  • @jbrowdy I worry about your scenario in http://t.co/lb3OkhG0 too. I see Coursera enhancing my in-person Penn course & spreading knowledge. #
  • @jbrowdy …and if us coddled tenured professors don't figure out this online ed thing first, we cede the future to the myopic cost cutters. #
  • Just got my first bit of Pinterest spam. The end is nigh. I should grab my Book of Revelations to see what comes next. #
  • 25 points if you Like/Tweet my Gamification class here: http://t.co/jeqaC6Hv. Then take it to learn why that's a bad way to gamify! #
  • I need to attend more conferences. It's such a great way to catch up on my Twitter feed. #

  • It's sad that the big perk of a "premier" frequent flyer tier these days is getting to use the overhead bin and not check a bag. #
  • Coursera launches with first list of massively open online courses, including mine on #gamification http://t.co/jeqaC6Hv #
  • Another reason to go veggie. RT @adamwerbach: 50% reduction in dietary meat required by 2050 to meet climate targets. #

  • I know it got spit out by a script as part of my department name, but "Business Ethics" was a poor subject line for a financial scam email. #
