Mary Hodder

Web Products Manager, Technorati
Blogs: Napsterization , bIPlog

Mary Hodder takes the interaction between people and technology as a starting point for creating tools for socializing with online digital media. Her latest project at Technorati is no different, as she attempts to translate complex digital concepts into something simple for users who want it all now and have no time for what’s under the hood. She is also a writer and editor of both traditional and non-traditional publications mainly on technology, intellectual property, security and privacy.

Formerly with Adobe, she worked on a variety of products over five years. Now, she creates information architectures, user experience models and content production systems for digital and social media projects, including an automated video capture system for film mashups, classification and metadata systems for visual media, and a variety of digital publishing and media projects. For fun and profit, she mashes media and writes two blogs on disruptive technologies and intellectual property, as well as the occasional piece of fiction. She holds a Master’s in Information Science from UC Berkeley.
