ZeroHedge is a prominent blog site in the blogsophere. Today, LinkedIn went public. The company, worth $4B in the morning, was worth double that value by the end of the day.

Are you trying to accomplish anything with social media? Remember the old adage, if you don’t aim at anything, you’re sure to hit it. Personally, [...]

Years ago, Gary Trudeau’s Doonesbury cartoon had Mike’s boss stop by his desk saying “Mike. We need a web page!!”. “Why?”, Mike asks. “Because everybody else has one!” was the boss’s reply. “OK, sure”, says Mike. In the next panel he is calling his teenage daughter asking “What’s a web page?” For some reason that [...]

This has been a crazy week for me, perhaps if I already had my smartphone, I might have been able to complete this post earlier. With this third post, I’m getting to the heart of what I’m looking for in a smartphone purchase. In my first post, I rambled about my rationale behind wanting an [...]

I use facebook. I was late to the party and started only a year or so ago. But my posts and any information that I place have gotten fewer over the last six months as I simply am not sure I trust facebook. I enjoy communicating with my friends outside of email, but as fb [...]
