For most of us in America it's startling not only to see the physical change to manhood in Nicholas Hoult, but to remark how intriguing and comparable his roles are in About A Boy and A Single Man.

As citizens, in case you're the Jasper Schuringa on your next flight, or as politicians, who need to cut the lip service and demand results.

After fishing in a rushing stream of Tweets, I watched YouTube clips showing a police station burning, a group of Basij militia cornered but not hurt, a police van overturned. Chants included, "Khamenei is a murderer. His reign is over."

Like others, I'm sure, my friends are quarreling about Facebook changing its privacy policy. Unlike others, my friends are squabbling in a very public way.

Whether or not the green aspirations of regular Iranian citizens will be met, to me they have helped resurrect the identity of a nation, or at the very least, repaint it in a different hue.

Are you tweeting your good cheer this year? Putting up Facebook photos for those long distance relatives? Are you sending email Christmas cards to save paper, postage, time, the world? Yes, using today's technology to keep in touch is better than when we couldn't but contact doesn't always equal connection.

I realized that we were all descending, en masse, into a vast swamp of self-promotion that is just not becoming of the writerly class. So I have come up with ten-step pathway to grace for writers.

Like anyone, I enjoy a lot of the pop music dispensed from Simon Cowell's empire, but it's just exciting to see this netroots campaign unseat the winner of Britain's American Idol-like X-Factor with a 15 year-old song about revolution.

I have no doubt that some people buy books based on their discovery of an author online. But I also believe that what helps can also hurt if not done in moderation.

Social networking can create problems for small firms when employees spend too much time using the technology for personal rather than business reasons.
