Search for your political vote
Just read an article from Techmeme that was posted in the New York Times today about how politicians running for their party’s nomination are heading to Mountain View, California to reach out to the people of Google to spread their message about why they should vote for them in the presidential primary. The article talks […]
Is Lyro worth all the hype?
So earlier this week, I read about a new social network for business professionals similar to LinkedIn and so I thought that I’d be an “early” adopter and register and be a guinea pig for this new site. Here I am, thinking that it would be a profile page that you could network with and […]
From Twittering thumbs to extreme Utterances and to Seesmic expressions: the Evolution of Communication
I’ve noticed over the course of the past few weeks, there has been a huge evolution in how people communicate in the digital age.

Seesmic: The New YouTube?
Thanks go out to my friend, Peter Corbett, of iStrategyLabs for twittering about this latest and greatest thing that should be all the rage in the near future.

Probably also known as an eMarketing Manager, Interactive Marketing Manager, or perhaps anything else that makes it seem Internet savvy, this client-based position is rather open-ended, in my opinion. First of all, in the beginning days of the Internet, it would seem that a web manager would be responsible for […]
Google set to unveil new social networking site
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Google already have a social networking site? Is that was Orkut is all about? The Associated Press, among others, reports today that Google is set to unveil their new social networking site that will compete with the 800 lb. gorillas, MySpace and Facebook, later this week.

Web 2.0 + 1 = Web 3.0
Does anyone notice that we’re already past Web 1.0 and over 2.0? Well in case you didn’t, you had better catch up to the rest of the online world. It’s shocking to believe but we’re in Web 3.0. What is 3.0, you ask? It’s just an evolutionary step above the whole user interaction phase of […]
Could America’s Most Wanted Be Found On Facebook?

Most often we think about what harmful things could happen as a result: solicitation of children, pornographic material, identity theft, or other dangerous things. Luckily in this particular case, social media turned out to be the thing […]
