I’m an Omnivore. I like technology.
I like Twitter. It really allows me the chance to meet interesting folks and learn stuff about the Internet and social media that I can share with everyone. Take for example the great folks at Burson-Marsteller. The introduced me to the fact that the Pew Internet & American Life Project created a study that will […]
It’s the small things that seem to matter.
So I happened to be at my first Refresh DC event and someone was talking about Widget DevCamp that’s going on this weekend. Of course I’ll be attending this event, but what came across my mind is that while this event will hopefully result in people creating widgets and/or applications that people will use en […]
Do you know how many people visited your site? You do? According to who?
I’ve always known that there is a difference between web analytic software. Whether you’re using WebTrends, HitWise, Coremetrics, Omniture, Google Analytics, or even LiveStats, there are definitely differences in how things are measured.

My results of a social experiment
So as many (or at least some) of you know, I recently headed down to New Orleans for the Allstate BCS Sugar Bowl at the Superdome. Seeing that this was going to be perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime chance, I thought I’d share this moment with as many people as I could, but obviously within limits. So […]
Bad Yaari: Social spam isn’t okay
So I get an e-mail today from one of my contacts in my GMail with the subject line: XXX sent you a friend request on Yaari… and so I decided to check it out. What’s Yaari you ask? Well I honestly don’t know myself. The website says that it’s a social networking sites for Indian […]
Facebook your way to the polls

Obviously, different types of social media have appeared and now many are being used for the benefit of electing people to power – most notably to the White House.
