I’m an independent software developer from Stonington, Connecticut, that has turned into something of a social media enthusiast (junkie?). I videoblog at Joe’s Video, etc., and am one of six regulars on the podcast PushMyFollow which discusses (trashes, dishes, spreads rumors and inuuendo) about social media topics.
In the past, I developed an experimental social media identity site called SociaLogic.org, which investigated unifying one’s various social media identities and relationships under one umbrella identity, and being able to compare them with others’. I also did some work in Distributed Microblogging (i.e., Twitter) and the OpenStack concept for user-centric social media protocols.
My current project is called SLAP (Simple Lightweight Announcement Protocol). It is aimed at making new content quickly and efficiently available to subscribers, eliminating the current wasteful method of polling.
My most recent corporate employment was as Chief Technology Officer at Heartlab, Inc. in Westerly, RI (now Agfa Cardiovascular).

My most frequently used OpenID url has been http://joec0914.myopenid.com. But now I’ve set up this blog’s URL to delegate to that ID. So I am now using http://joecascio.net

and a number of other places I probably tried and forgot about.
Demographically, I’m a Baby Boomer, which makes me older than probably at least 95% of people I meet on the Internet. But having been a software developer all my life, I don’t feel as technologically challenged or fearful as many of my cohort are about social networking and the internet in general.
I’m also a “dog person”, an unapologetic golf addict, a member of this club, and realized a career long dream in August of 2007.
