Growing Up with Social Networks

I was celebrating the Holiday with my sister, friends and a bunch of kids (two of whom were my niece and nephew). They were playing Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii, when I overheard this conversation (which I Twittered), “Club Penguin was last year. WebKinz is now”. About this time, my nephew (who’s eight today), [...]

Personal “Business” Cards – Gaping Void @ Streetcards

I decided that I need to get my own cards with my social information. Something to pass out at conferences and events with/without my actual business card.

Influential Posts from the Last 2 Months – Part I

Have you ever read a post and it stays with you – for a few days, maybe weeks? In the past few months I read 2 posts from 2 people that have really stayed with me – excited me about the forum and, in one case, got me passionate about blogging again (after a small [...]

Things you should not do to your Pleo – Engadget

Link: Things you should not do to your Pleo – Engadget. I know this is strictly NOT social media. But I did see one of these at Ad:Tech NY and it was hysterical (more about the person holding it than the actual Pleo). And this article – especially the comments – made me laugh out [...]
