Social Media [Insert Made Up Buzzwords Here]
Why do we have buzzwords? What service do they fill? Why do so many people complain about them? Every sub-culture and every movement needs it’s own language. It doesn’t matter if it’s an art movement, a political party or a fortune 100 company. Having a unique language creates a sense of community and servers as [...]

Your Social Media Basic Training. Where to Start.

Doing Well by Doing Good
Image via Wikipedia This blog was cross posted on the WE Studio D Thinkers and Doers blog. I love working in the tech space. I’m a geek and an early adopter. I love tech. Sometimes we can easily forget that there’s more happening on our little planet than the latest gadget or app. I normally [...]
Why is Gen X so Entrepreneurial? Dysfunction.
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I’m a proud member of the vastly outnumbered Generation X. We grew up being called The Slacker Generation (ironically by a bunch of washed up hippies who sold their soles). While the Baby Boomers and Generation Y both are about twice as big as Gen X, we have become [...]
