What we have seen on our previous post may seem interesting and powerful. Essentially, what we are doing is opening the door to creating local datasets with personally identifiable information coming from our Social Networks. That's a pretty big deal. Therefore, there are a couple of things that we need to understand before going forward.

Privacy, Law and Ethics

Usually, on Digital Media, whenever you can access some information is because you have rights and permissions to do so. However, I would like you to consider the difference between “can” and “should”.…

“Less is more” … Have we achieved it on this new release of the Framework?“Less is more” … Have we achieved it on this new release of the Framework?

Back in 2013, I shipped the Social Media Scripting Framework for the first time. I was excited about it, but, at the same time, I realized that there were some things that, clearly, were too complicated. There is still a lot of work to do to make it even more simple and more capable. This is, definitely, not over.

Say hello to the Social Media Scripting Framework!

Say hello to the Social Media Scripting Framework!

It’s been a while since my last post. And there has been a reason for it, actually. I’ve been working on a new project, the Social Media Scripting Framework: a PowerShell-based environment that abstracts the complexities of modern Social Media Channels from the PowerShell command-line.
