Sometimes I want to know what you ate for breakfast. Surely by now, you know a report a while back said that 40% of Twitter posts are pointless babble. The report made quite an impact. I don’t know about you, but I hear about it everywhere. As well, I’ve heard quite a few remarks from [...]

This is a follow up to my recent post: Concerned about privacy on the social web? Particularly because of the recent news of Facebook changing its Terms of Service.

OK, so it’s been a while, but SM2 is one of the tools I’ve been enthusiastic about reviewing since I started. (To recap, you can check out my review of Social Radar as well as Radian6). One thing I particularly loved about Techrigy SM2 is it has a ‘freenium’ option! Which is really handy if [...]

Times are tough right now and only getting tougher. This means finding a job right now amidst mass layoffs and a tanking economy is definitely not easy. But I’m saying fret not, and use the power of social media to land a new gig. Whether you’re looking for a job *in* social media or a [...]

Here’s a little success story I’d love to share because it affected me personally! Back in September, I wrote about some social media apps/community sites that had fallen out of favour with me or just off my the radar.
