How do you manage your online experience? Are you more concerned with getting the highest scores you can on the social influence sites… or are you in social media to connect with people? Do you can check in on Foursquare, check TwitterGrader, buy Groupons, try to raise your Klout score or sell your “social stock” on [...]
Early this morning I was poking around Facebook like many millions of people do each day, when I saw a post by my friend Deirdre Reid aka @deirdrereid. She commented on how @MrMichael_Smith of @ESPN had posted tweets on how funny he thought the accident of Dutch cyclist Johnny Hoogerland was on twitter. Yep you [...]

I like Twitter. Ok maybe that’s not accurate. I really like Twitter. I constantly update and I’ve connected with some really awesome people so I guess I shouldn’t complain. There are some things about Twitter, however, that annoy me a little. I go on Twitter to connect with like minded individuals that like some of [...]

Internet stalking is so easy to do these days. I have to admit, I truly enjoy researching people and finding out pieces of information before I meet them face to face. I feel that I get to understand them a little better ahead of time and then I can use that information while we meet. [...]
Social media vernacular is amazing in its reach, and often hilarious in its final accepted form. Crowd sourcing is certainly interesting, and when you apply it to linguistics you never know what you may get. There is usually a semi-logical genesis for the terms we use. For example, in the world of online gaming the [...]
About 9 months ago I stayed up late, all geeked out about the launch of the new search engine that was more than just a search engine, it was going to change the way we search and in doing so change the world!!!! Well, of course, it hasn’t and most people have never even heard [...]
Wired has an article on the state of the broadband union of sorts. Things may be looking up in the speed category for US citizens. So far the Obama administration has offered $7.2 billion in grants to be doled out by two separate federal agencies to give to companies to build out networks in “underserved” areas. [...]
