This past Saturday morning, around 10:30 ET, my mobile phone started going off like crazy...phone calls from all over North America, text messages from my wife, and emails from lots of old friends....all within a few minutes.
What would create such an uproar on a quiet Saturday morning? Apparently, I was robbed in London and trying to get my friends on Facebook to wire me money on Western Union so I "could get home" by sending them Facebook emails and using chat.
Needless to say, I was not in London, nor was I robbed. Clearly, my Facebook friends are smart enough to see right through this and the calls to me were to let me know that my account was hacked. Since I wasn't at home, my wife wrestled control away from the hackers and had my password reset.
End of story, right? Well, about an hour after I regained control, my account was disabled by Facebook for "violation of Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities". Apparently, I had one particularly egregious violation which caused the account to be disabled...I was hacked. I'm the victim! Didn't matter. I followed the appeal process. No response. Researched similar cases on the Internet and tried other email addresses. No response.
Interestingly enough, over the past few days, my emotions have gone from semi-panic (I'm not going to find out who won Mafia Wars! -- not) to who gives a flying @#$@#.
Yes, Facebook has a tremendous value in being able to connect with
- Stuck in an Elevator at the New York TimesFebruary 2

How does someone get to have a 75+ minute tweetup in an elevator at the New York Times? I'm not exactly sure, but yesterday it happened to me.
Yesterday afternoon I went to the New York Times to attend what turned out to be an amazing discussion of social media and the Haiti Disaster. The session was moderated by Andrew Rasiej, founder of the Personal Democracy Forum and the speakers included my friend Ann Curry (@AnnCurry) from NBC News and the Today Show together with Rob Mackey (@RobertMackey), staff writer The New York Times, Erik Parker (@theparkerreport), a journalist who was in Haiti when the earthquake struck and Jason Cone (@MSF_USA), communications director, Doctors Without Borders. I attended the session to hear their first hand accounting of their experiences in Haiti.
After the session was over I was talking to Ann Curry and we were amongst the last of the people to leave the room. What happened next became surreal. Nine of us went into the elevator on the 15th floor at the New York Times and what should have been a 20 second ride down to the ground level turned into a 75+ minute experience as we got stuck in an elevator when the elevator missed the lobby level and went about one and half more feet below the lobby.
Turned out the elevator had an amaz
