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 […]
Microsoft Buying Facebook? Not Quite Yet…
In today’s news, it was reported by the Associated Press that software giant, Microsoft would buy a minority stake in Facebook. Already rebuking a $1 billion offer by Yahoo! in 2006, the CEO of Facebook has repeatedly claimed that he wants his site to remain independent and not go the way of Myspace or YouTube. […]
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 […]
An Exciting Program from iStrategyLabs
Just because I’m a good person and think this might be a program worth going if you happen to be in the DC area (Hey, it’s all about networking, right?)… Open Enrollment for Interactive Strategy and Creative Workshop No.1 “Interactive Strategy and Creative Workshop No.1”, is a program created by iStrategyLabs, with the intention of […]
“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 […]
LinkedIn: The Business Professional’s Myspace
Since the social networking revolution of the 21st century, we find ourselves with plenty of social media but all targeted towards different niches. What do I mean by that? Well loookat a Myspace. It used to be aimed at teenagers and college students, but has now grown to include adults. It’s now an adult network […]
Facebook Gets Serious – They Want Money
So it appears that Facebook is now growing up. No longer is it an independent social networking site that Friendster and Myspace once were, but now it’s come to the realization that it needs to evolve itself even more to surpass the functionality and audience of its competitor, Myspace. It’s interesting how three of the […]
Twitter Wants to Know What You’re Doing
In case you didn’t know, the Washington Post has an I.T. blog that they launched in early 2007 where they discuss all the new innovations relating to technology. They dub it as a “user’s guide to the 21st century.” There was a posting on July 31 where they talked about this new start-up company called […]
Life, Liberty and Photo-Sharing for All
So I recently signed up for Facebook and indeed realize that it is fully all that and a bag of chips…well just because while they’re pretty equally matched, there are some subtle differences. First of all, Myspace will allow you to completely customize your profile page and allow amateur web designers to butcher their pages […]
Interactive Media: Traditional Media’s Unmentioned Cousin
As I sit here and watch the CNN-YouTube debate on TV, I think about all the political hoopla going on in America, I look at all the online tools being used and seldom mentioned on traditional media. Let’s examine the facts… When all the politicians announced their candidacy for president of the United States, mainstream […]
