DoGood – The Future of Online Advertising?

I am totally pumped about this. I mean really. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about…. …a browser plugin.

Why I Love Social Media People

This morning I’ll be heading to Toronto for a weekend of connecting, sharing, learning and of course, fun at Podcamp. It’s been a long time since I’ve been really excited about attending an event.

Twitter in a Nutshell (for my Facebook friends)

I was twittering with @GinnyK today, and she is in a similar predicament to myself. We both have many Facebook friends who have no idea what Twitter is. At least 3 times a week, one of my FB friends asks me “What the heck is Twitter?” This is because I am a complete geek, so...CONTINUE READING
