Last night when I logged into Facebook, I had a magical message stating that I was chosen to take a spin on the all new “Facebook Lite”. Unfortunately, all the clicking in the world (on 3 different browsers) yielded no discoveries – just plain old Facebook. According to TechCrunch’s review (posted below), I may have [...]

The app is just a quick way to input words, flip them upside down, and copy and paste them anywhere, but [...]

Google Analytics will clearly monitor your SEO efforts, and Radian6 will do [...]

Do we select our friends in the on-line world by what their avatar looks like? You bet we do. What does your avatar say about you to the world? Are you projecting what you had hoped? Your avatar is that postage stamp image you pin directly to your name. It’s your welcome wagon, your greeting, your [...]

I love this article from Read Write Web. Every day I tell clients that if you only spend 5 minutes checking out Twitter or Facebook, you just can’t get it. It’s like sex, without the intimate interaction there’s just no way to describe the benefits, the pleasures & occasionally the annoying misunderstandings that come along [...]
