Could America’s Most Wanted Be Found On Facebook?
When social media networking sites were first created, did anyone think of the good it could bring about?

Luckily in this particular case, social media turned out to be the thing […]
You Can Post Pictures, but Don’t Post THOSE Pictures
I logged into LinkedIn early this morning and decided to look at my profile – yes, I can appear to be that vain at times, but who doesn’t like looking to see what they’ve placed on their profiles? I was startled to find that my profile, which at one point was 100% complete was now […]
Paypal: Your Usability Stinks.
One thing to note about usability that is key is not how fancy the interactive elements are or how glamorous it looks, but you also need to know how things are spelled out. Read what your links say. Look at how your site is laid out. If you find out that you have complaints, then […]

Continuing on this wonderful, but probably brief series…I found another article on MarketingVOX about P2P networks and how their traffic is on the rise and surpassing anything we’ve seen on the Internet today. What is P2P? Well P2P is peer-to-peer…you know…Napster (before it was shut down and turned legit, but technically is still P2P), iTunes, […]
CATCHING UP: Visual Studios on Second Life?
So I’ve begun this pseudo-“I’d like this to try and be daily”-series on all the latest news that’s been going on recently over the past few months, but haven’t had the chance (or time) to talk about…and please forgive my ignorance on some of these stories. I am aware of these topics, but not about […]

“Blogging” Proliferation…Introducing “Smoke”-Blogging…
Okay, so there’s no such thing as “smoke” blogging, but I thought I’d create it just to prove a point. With the wide distribution of wireless and wired devices that can be connected with the Internet, it’s absolutely fascinating that there are perhaps millions (if not billions) of people who are jotting their thoughts online […]
