Have I Lost That Twitter Feeling?
It’s not you Twitter, it’s me. I’ve changed. I mean, I know we’ve been together for years now, but it seems that we have grown apart. Don’t get me wrong, I think you’re great. You’re more than great, you are wonderful. And we’ve had some really good times together, some good laughs, funny moments, and shared some meaningful links. But there’s something missing. We both know it and been avoiding this moment but the time has come. You know what I mean. I think we both need our space. This has been coming on for a long time. We just don’t communicate...

The cool new phrase in the social media world is “Circle me.” Google seems to have hit on a great new social media platform with G+. Is it a Facebook Killer? No, it isn’t.

Mainly, I talked about why I decided to leave Empire Avenue, not because it’s not a viable platform, but more about keeping in mind what I have time for and working with platforms I am comfortable with.

The time has come. It am selling out all my shares and getting out of the stock market game. You know, Empire Avenue? The game seems to have captivated just about every social media maven out there, and I have to admit, it is fun to play. I seem to be good at it. In less than a week I became a VP in the Marketing index and shot to a Net Wealth of almost 600,000 eaves.

Many people would have you believe that...
read moreWhat Galileo Taught Me About Social Media
Galileo lived 370 years ago and this morning he taught me a couple things about social media. Galileo was an inventor, mathematician, astronomer, and an artist. In short, he was a geek. He was also a heretic, found guilty by the Church, for his theories in astronomy. Ok, let’s get to the heart of this post. What could a man from Renaissance Italy possibly teach me about social media? Well, of course nothing directly, but there are aspects of his life that can be applied to our efforts. First off Galileo worked on many different platforms. Like I said earlier, he was a...
