I dislike Apple but I’m really glad they’re around
Image via Wikipedia As much as I like to bag on Apple for their closed proprietary nature I am thankful that they exist. If it wasn’t for Apple our computers would be ugly and difficult to use. I insist on having all PC operating systems and use them all. I’ve had several iPod for years [...]
Who I Think Should Buy FriendFeed and Bit.ly
Image by Getty Images via Daylife If I were Acxiom I’d be going on a social media buying spree. Companies like Bit.ly or FriendFeed. Match what they know with real time behavior data. The great thing about URL shorteners like Bit.ly is they permeate the walled gardens like Facebook and the great thing about FriendFeed [...]
Be a Social Media Black Belt with Posterous

How to use Posterous for Internal Collaboration
Image via CrunchBase Working in a cross functional team I meet with a lot of teams to share advice, tips and tricks. I then frequently get follow up questions (because I openly invite them).

What does Zemanta have to do with Freebase and Balloons?
Image via CrunchBase Besides the fact that Freebasing and Balloons both have drug connotations Zemanta is partnering with social database company Freebase to launch a new addicting blog feature called Balloons.

In fact every interaction with every piece of online content only serves to create more content. Every click, every rating, share, new link, comment, new blog post, etc, [...]
How a DM via Twitter to a Blog with a Link to Facebook Got Me My Job

But it’s a highly relevant story and fits into the broader themes I cover here of how social media is changing the way we work. Amybeth Hale (@researchgoddess) is a recruiter who uses social media [...]
Confessions of a Social Media Addict
Hi, my name’s Tac and I’m a social media addict. I actually come from a long line a family with addictions. I’ve just found a much more socially acceptable addictions and turned it into a profession. How do I know I’m an addict? I am always online. Always. I wake up at 3:00 am to [...]
Some Thoughts on Disclosures [and Some Disclosures]
Disclosures can be tough when you’re at an agency. Especially if you don’t blog about your work that much but you blog about industries your clients have a stake in. I blog about marketing, technology, journalism, mobile, business models, startups, and any related trends or anything I find mildly interesting. I blog about those things [...]
Ask AP iPhone app
I heard a lot of good things about the AP iPhone app and it is pretty cool. It syncs with Evernote which is pretty cool right there. But then under the categories I found an Ask AP section. I don’t know if this is something they’ve had for a while or not but it’s kind [...]
