Today I was answering questions for an article interview. The interviewer asked me what my day looked like. I'm fond of saying, "I do nothing," but she deserved a better answer, so I gave her my highlights from today.
8:30 – 10:30: Attended One Million Cups, downtown San Diego.
11:00 – 1:00: Attended Tech Coffee Meetup, where I snapped this photo, Solana Beach.
1:00 – 1:30: Stopped by the San Diego Electric Bike Company to buy a saddle bag, Solana Beach.
1:30 – 3:00: Answered interview questions at Third Space, Hillcrest.
3:00 – 5:00: Fixed Swift syntax bugs as a result of latest Xcode beta release changes, Golden Hill.
5:00 – 6:30: Attended EvoNexus Wing Wednesday Meetup, downtown San Diego.
6:30 – 8:00: Enjoyed an adult beverage at the Tipsy Crow, Gaslamp Quarter.
8:00 – 9:00: Stalked a fellow, former, Apple coworker on Foursquare to a restaurant, South Park.
9:00...: Kicked back with some homemade limoncello.
Update: Here's the published piece.

Social Media, Social Solutions
In the ancient days of social media (circa 2008) people frequently said, "I don't get it." Back then, people didn't realize that social media was simply taking our spoken conversations about nothing and moving them online. But, as more and more people got involved an interesting crowdsourcing phenomenon began to unfold.
I first observed this crowdsourcing solution in the fall of 2008 when Guy Kawasaki forgot his MacBook power supply.
At the time, I was at home about 40 minutes away and I could have easily made it to Coronado by the top of the hour. After thinking about it for five minutes I responded to Guy's tweet but it was too late. Jerry Jones had sealed the deal. However, I did get an honorable mention from Guy (back then, my Twitter username was @JoeLeo.)
About two years later, I explicitly and successfully tried crowdsourcing to figure out the name of song. It's amazing when it works.
What struck me, today, is that crowdsourcing via social media still works. So much so that we simply take it for granted.
Last week, I reminisced about telephone landlines. I was imagining a home phone solution where my cell phone would link to a ringer so that I could hear it ring throughout the house without carrying it from room to room.
A college buddy quietly observed my tweet and found what I had described when he was shopping at Costco, today. We joked that he was my personal social shopper. He found several models, but the Panasonic KX-TG155 seemed to foot the bill as he passed along a photo of the collateral.

Two Ships Crashing in the Night
Video chat is the future of social media.
Social media allows companionship without being present. Generally, media is fixed, meaning that it's recorded on paper, hard disks, etc. But, if we focus more on the social aspect, and less on the media part, then it can also be a live stream without necessarily being recorded such as a telephone call. While there are many aspects of social media that are entirely new, one, in particular, is very interesting to me: random video chat.
I've had several technological epiphanies in my life as I suddenly recognized that a new technology was going to be transformational and innovative.

Epiphanies
Random Video Chat
This leads to my latest innovative epiphany: Random video chat.
While video chat sites, such as Chatroulette, Stickam, and Tinychat, that first gained attention a couple years ago, have a bad rap on the surface, there's something about them that's amazing on a deeper level.
Sites like ChatRoulette truly fall into the art category.
On video chat websites, there is no shortage of men exposing themselves. I'm guessing that 90% of the visitors to these types of sites are male and it seems like a big chunk of them broadcast their crotch, as if there's much of a chance of any woman stopping to watch and partake in the show.
While these sites do have an ugly side, there's an interesting, hidden, aspect that can be very engaging and entertaining.
If you give it a try, you can make a connection with someone – a connection that's on par with a chat at the bar or cafe. The fascinating part is that the conversation can take place with people from all over the world in virtually any setting such as the living room, bedroom, classroom, or car to name a few that I've participated in.
In literally less than a second, someone has popped up on your computer screen as the both of you make a decision to stay or "next" each other. No account needs to be created, it's anonymous, and instantaneous – no need to follow, friend, or subscribe - it's just you and a random partner, mano a mano.
Most connections last less than a second, but it's not unheard of for a conversation to last many, many hours.
I'm guessing that the average age on these sites is late teens to early twenties. From time to time, I've received some unpleasant reactions when these young adults see me: the old man.
Virgin Experiences
After nexting dozens and dozens of men's crotches and being nexted, myself, I discovered that I could do better if I didn't have my camera on, after all, I'm no spring chicken. At this point, I could engage people in a conversation before turing on my camera.
One of my first chat experiences was explicitly shocking with a college senior at large midwestern university. I could see her, but she couldn't see me, so it was a one way video chat without voice as I told her about my former girlfriend who attended the same university. After I figured out how to turn on my microphone, I could talk to her and she'd type back, but she couldn't speak since her roommate was sleeping.
She was a very conservative and bright religious Muslim who grew up in the U.S. and never drank alcohol. But, she suffered from a pseudo preacher's kid syndrome due to her ultraconservative lifestyle. I was shocked when she asked me, a faceless stranger, to tell her what to do. She was, by no means, teasing me, with - she was 100% serious, trust me on that. (Suffice to say that we didn't go there and nothing happen.)
I was thinking that her story wasn't real - this was all too fast and easy - but her info all checked out via Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, etc. Where were websites like this when I was a young, single guy???
Innovation
Social video chat is the very definition of innovation, which is anything that reduces the cost of a transaction in terms of time or money – live and in person. No longer is it necessary to visit single's bars or dating sites that lead to so many dead end first dates. Now, you can experience personal connections in any safe and personal environment of your choosing.
The one night stand, perfected in the 20th Century, has now evolved into the one hour stand with video chat, "Don't worry, Baby, I'll still respect you in 60 minutes."
Memorable Experiences
Without a doubt, my first experience was unique, but I couldn't help but be intrigued.
My next stop was a classroom in Scotland as several students were huddled around a laptop during a class. We chatted for about 30 minutes until class ended.
I chatted with a high school student who was poolee in the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program. We spent some time talking about the Marines as I related my experiences to him.
I briefly talked to a student in Singapore who had his name, Darren, tattooed on his wrist. He complained to me that, after "nexting" hundreds of people, he'd only seen two women, but I don't think he was giving up.
I actually found some people my own age who were sitting in their kitchen in Iowa drinking beer… rather, they had already drunk a lot of beer.
Watching my wife and her former college roommate try it out for the first time was priceless as guys would shower them with complements so they could talk to two women. For some reason, the guys from Turkey were the most polite.
Random Tech Support
By far, my most rewarding experience was with a 32 year old women in the Netherlands who was a school teacher. She was a little unhappy since she had recently switched from her Windows PC to an iMac and, when she synced up her iPod to the new iMac, it had erased her iPod music library.
We chatted for a bit as she imported her CDs into iTunes. She was a little frustrated poking around her new computer since she couldn't find the backspace key. When I told her that the trick to backspace on the Mac was to hold down the FN key when pressing the delete key, she promised to name her first kid after me, Joe "Backspace."
Cheating?
So, is it cheating if you're in a relationship and seeking social interaction in a video chat? That all depends on the rules with your significant other. Is it cheating to go to a bar and talk to another patron? Probably not, as long as it's platonic. As a matter of fact, video chat is definitely safer, cheaper, and faster than physically visiting a bar or cafe. The only downside (or maybe it's an upside) is that it's random and anonymous. But, things probably won't work out if you live in China and find your soulmate in Timbuktu.
Video Chat's Dark Side
Random video chat doesn't come without a chilling dark side that goes far beyond the plethora of penises. While consenting adults are free to do as they please, it seems that people, especially the ladies, either forget or don't care that their video chat partner can easily record their interaction for nefarious purposes.
Even more chilling is that any child can log on to these video chat websites simply by attesting that they are over 18 with a simple check of a box. While the interaction is random and probably too distant for the possibility of a physical interaction, it's still frightening to think about how impressionable children can be.
The Future
Video chat offers a lot of possibilities. I've met many foreigners who were simply interested in practicing their English. It's also a great way for socially awkward people to learn how to speak to others. But, here's a newsflash for the guys: You'll increase your chances by being respectful, rather than rude, to to the ladies. Instead of clicking next a couple thousand times and greeting women with, "Show me your boobs!", try treating them with dignity and you'll be surprised at the results.
I think Patti Stanger should use these random video chat sites to screen her guys before appearing on Millionaire Matchmaker. She'd get a quick indication of how her client candidates treat the ladies.
Why?
Why do they come? What do they want? Well… why do we sit at the hotel bar, when on a business trip, instead of taking our drink back up to the room? We want to be social... we want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
It's rather amazing to drop right into someone's personal life for a private conversation only to never hear from them again. But, if you want to try it out for yourself, you can't be shy or thin skinned. After all, it is the Internet and anything goes.

I've had several technological epiphanies in my life as I suddenly recognized that a new technology was going to be transformational and innovative.
Epiphanies
My earliest technological epiphany was when I got my first computer - it was a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I, first introduced in 1977, and I loved it. I was amazed by it's processing capability. Today, we take for granted the power of the personal computer. But, back then, we marveled at what it could do. I used to use my Model I to help my father bubble sort product serial numbers for his job when I was in junior high school.
My second epiphany was in the early 1980s when I hooked up my TRS-80 Model I to a modem for the first time. I spent the entire night logging onto bulletin board system (BBS) after BBS and I ended up pulling my first all-nighter well before high school.
My third technological epiphany was the first time that I logged on to the World Wide Web. I had been using Internet e-mail since the late 1980s, but I was late to the WWW, in the mid 1990s, since I was on active duty in the Marines and deployed to the Middle East. However, I still remember the first website that visited - it was a triathlon news site.

Is Social Media Really New?
While participating in a strategic planning meeting, recently, I was asked, "What will communications look like in 2020?" After some thought, my answer was, "social media." Social communications, just like mass communications, has been around since the dawn of civilization, however, the media used to convey social communications is very new.
Mass media (the medium, not the industry) began with the printing press which was invented in the 1400s. As a result of technological advances, mass media exploded in the first half of the Twentieth Century with radio and T.V. and it continued growing with the adoption of the Internet.
Social media, however, is truly a new media. Whereas mass media is a one-to-many method of communications that is one way, social media is a two way, many-to-many, communications channel.
Social media, like many new, unexpected, forms of communication, was first looked upon with skepticism. We saw skepticism like this in the mid 1990s as cell phones became popular. The first few times I noticed people talking on cell phones in public, even when polite etiquette was followed, my reaction was, "What's so important that you have to talk now?" Yet, today, talking on a cell phone in public is not a big deal. However, in the case of new media, many still have the same reaction when everyday-people blog, tweet, and use Facebook on a daily basis.
Why does someone need to "tell the world" what they're doing when it's as mundane as, "My cat just rolled over?" In the case of social media, this could easily lead to a conversation between cat lovers who didn't know each other. Everyone enjoys spending some time engaging likeminded people. Social media simply extends the social conversations that we have at the water cooler, on the phone, or during dinner, and moves them into cyberspace.
While specific media and technologies may come and go, such as the 8-track, telegram, or the fax; other, more fundamental forms of communication are here to stay. However, new forms of media do not quickly replace the old ones any more than the telephone has replaced radio communications, or that e-mail has replaced "snail mail".

I Still Don't Get Twitter
"Getting" Twitter isn't really that hard. Most people understand that an e-mail is an online version of a written note or letter. But there are a few short falls of e-mail that don't match how we communicate in the real world.
First, it's difficult to have a real time conversation over e-mail. Second, people usually do not talk to each other by speaking several paragraphs before getting a response during a casual conversation. Third is the fact that you can't easily start a conversation with someone you don't know.
Twitter and Facebook simply take the conversations that we have at parties, cafes, bars and mixers into the online world.
Facebook is the private party or water cooler chat we have with the people we know, whereas Twitter is the place to have a random conversation, in public, usually with strangers. The beauty of Twitter is that you can search the conversations and jump in at any time.
Just like many people don't go to bars or cafes for atmosphere, the same is true for logging onto Twitter or Facebook. You don't have to do it if it doesn't float your boat.

Following a Spammer's Trail
Yesterday, a friend posted an odd message to my Facebook wall. As soon as I read it I realized that her account was highjacked, probably by visiting a nefarious website.
This can happen when you click on a link that takes you to a website while you're still logged into Facebook. At this point, the nefarious website will exploit a vulnerability in your web browser and post something to Facebook on your behalf.
I decided to follow the trail. It started with a post that took me to allfreeipad.com (to be on the safe side, don't visit these websites).
AllFreeiPad.com redirected my web browser to www.ipadfree4me.com which lead me to www.ipadfree4me.com/freeipad.htm.
This is where things got interesting, at least from a technical point. Most people know that you can view a web page's HTML source code to see its details (View -> Page Source). This is the first step to finding out the "where and how" a webpage was created, and the source code is almost always human readable unless you're trying to hide something. Instead of normal HTML, the actual source of this page uses JavaScript encoding (called escaping).
This is what you get if you decode (unescape) the JavaScript:
This escaped JavaScript tells your web browser to create an HTML frame and display the contents of elitesiteemporium.com/ipad-for-testers/?mn=54321.
After all these hops, you're now at elitesiteemporium.com. This domain name is private, so you can't see who actually owns it, but you can find out that its IP address (92.241.169.14) reveals that it's located in Russia. However, this isn't the end of the line, after a few more hops, you'll end up at a web page that wants you to enter your e-mail address so that they can send you a free iPad.
The trail ends at yourrewardinside.com's servers (IP address 204.51.78.152) running on a network leased to MPC Systems LLC which could be based in Delaware or perhaps Texas, depending who you ask.
Keep in mind that there are two parties (confederates) involved in this scheme which could be unrelated, but that's usually not the case. One party created the nefarious web page which posted their message to your Facebook wall, without you knowing, and the second party is located at the destination website (yourrewardinside.com) which claims that it will give you an iPad for the low (free) price of giving them your e-mail address.
I wouldn't recommend giving them your e-mail address.

Crowd Sourcing at it Finest
This afternoon, I was at my local cafe. I'd been there before and I never really noticed the piano in the corner, but this guy did.

He hopped on the piano, played some songs, and then left the cafe. I recorded one and posted it. But, I couldn't figure out the name of the song and it was killing me. I knew that I'd heard it before.
I tried to get Shazam and SoundHound to figure it out without any luck. Shazam came up with a different answer each time and SoundHound wouldn't even make a guess.
So, I decided to crowdsource the answer and I posted it to Reddit. Eight minutes later RambleMan figured it out.
The song is "The Scientist" by Coldplay. The reason it was so stuck in my head was because of the sad music video which was filmed in reverse.

Twitter's "Track" Command: Gone But Not Forgotten.
Sometime in 2008 it seems to have been turned off - probably because it generated too much SMS (text messaging) traffic.
Fire!
During the San Diego Wildfires of 2007 I was splitting my time between San Diego (Carlsbad) and Santa Cruz (Capitola). The wildfires broke out over the weekend when I was in the Bay Area. By Monday morning two separate fires were threating our home in Carlsbad. I went to sleep, Monday night, trying to prepare myself, mentally, for what it was going to be like once our home burned down.
Tuesday, as I drove down to Carlsbad, I wanted every piece of information I could find about the fires. Listening to XM channel 247 (emergency channel - a wordplay on 24/7) helped, but it was too broad since it was covering all the fires burning in San Diego, Orange County, and L.A.
This is where Twitter's Track command was a saviour (keep in mind that there were no iPhone apps back then). I simply texted some keywords to Twitter and every time someone's tweet contained one of those words it was relayed to me via SMS. I had Twitter track "Carlsbad" and the major road near my home, "Palomar".
Retweeting wasn't as popular back then as it is now so I received very few duplicate tweets. Nearly every tweet that I received - and I was receiving a new tracking tweet every five minutes - was helpful:
"It doesn't look like the fire's reached Carlsbad."
"Winds dying down and reversing direction - I can see flames from Carlsbad."
"Voluntary evacuation south of Palomar Airport Road."
"KPBS reports that fire in San Marcos, near Carlsbad, is 20% contained."
etc.
Luckily, the closest both fires got to our home was about four miles. Now, if only Twitter could bring back the Track command and ignore retweets.

Text Messaging at 35,000 Feet
Text messaging with people on a airplane allows you to flirt with other passengers not seated in your row (as long as the passenger in front of you doesn't mind some poking on the back of their seat).
This looks like it could be fun - at least until the novelty wears off.
