Renaissance 2.0
I understand why ads and monetizing are so important but it’s frustrating dealing with the ever-growing amount that we must endure every where we turn. There are ads just about everywhere we look. Take a look around and you will notice a ton more than you even realized existed. I mean even in the weirdest…
I’ve been using Twitter since 2007 but only recently have I started to take advantage of the power of twitter lists and tweetdeck together. By creating and subscribing to twitter lists you can completely change and control your twitter experience. With these two tools you can manage the firehose of data finally. Here’s my collection…
When did the social media age begin officially? It’s a trick question because there isn’t an official start date, much like there isn’t a clear deliniation between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 (whatever that really meant). However, I find it fun to think about when the online age shifted into the social network and mobile app…
I’m really liking Google+, the new social network from the search giant. Everyone who’s gotten into the field test release for G+ seems to be liking this effort much more than Google Wave and Google Buzz which is a good sign. However, everyone has complaints and suggestions too. What else is new? Here’s my two…
I love when @ChrisBrogan blurts out “You’re doing it wrong” every once in a while on Twitter just as a friendly reminder that there isn’t one right way to do all these social things we’re doing. I think he does it as a reminder for himself more than for us. He’s right too. No matter…

Sometimes it can be fun to watch movies or videos as a group in real-time even when everyone is located in different regions of the globe. There are some new apps that make this usual solo endeavor a more social experience. Here’s a run-down of the best web apps available for sharing videos in real-time…
I coined a new term today called Macro-blogging which I shared in an exchange I had with @ChrisBrogan on twitter. He made a comment about the rather short blog posts he’s been reading so far this year and wondered if it was a new trend. I replied with the following tweet: “@chrisbrogan I noticed the…
Our personal lives have begun to merge and blend into our professional lives online thanks to the massive success of social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Our once separate virtual worlds have begun to collide, mixing friends with clients and coworkers with family members. It all reminds me of a hilarious episode on Seinfeld called…
The way we communicate on social sites like Twitter and Facebook has to evolve at some point when it comes to expressing ourselves beyond just plain text. I don’t mean merely by using video which has already begun with services such as Seesmic, 12secs and Utterli. I’m talking about allowing us to use visual aids…
