Funny. Google+ might be like Facebook, but better? Only time will tell. I hate facebook. Its a messy place with a poor track record on privacy. Privacy is hard to get right. Google had similar issues with Buzz. Lets see if they get plus right.

Update: 7/29/2011 Google Plus is gaining momentum and I would recommend you go try it out now..

Social Media: Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse

The following was originally posted on CDC Public Health Matters Blog May 16th, 2011 by Ali S. Khan.

There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.

Good on the CDC for making an unpleasant topic palatable enough to read to the end.
