LinkedIn’s Search Options Just Got a Shot in the Arm

I was in the process of cleaning up my LinkedIn inbox (we have so many boxes, don’t we), when I noticed they’ve recently added some new and stronger search features. I also like the ability to save searches. I honestly don’t spend enough time on LinkedIn to know which of these features are new and [...]

The Social Annie-versary Experiment

Today, my wife Annie and I celebrate 9 years of wedded bliss.  Okay, so it hasn’t been all bliss, but if I had it to do over, I wouldn’t change a thing.  And hey, that’s more than a lot of people can say these days (my wife included, I think). Photo courtesy KC Brock As [...]

Organize and Find Everything in One Place with Springpad and Evernote

If you’re like most people, between shopping, eating, surfing the net, conversations with friends and basically just living your day-to-day life, you constantly come across products, web pages and ideas you want to remember.  However, if you’re like me – and I hope for your sake you’re not – it can be a real challenge [...]

In fact, it you spend time on Facebook daily, you may have noticed that [...]

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of delivering a presentation to our company’s Business Development Directors on the benefits of considering certain social media tools to reach their goals. Mixing sales (or marketing) and social media is, of course, done by companies and individuals all over the world every day.  But, if your social media approach [...]

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a presentation made my Chris Brogan.  Through Thursday you can purchase a DVD of the event.  Christine Taylor and JTMar partnered with Stage Post Studios to not only make Chris available in person to several hundred Nashvillians, but they also streamed the event online, including incorporating [...]

The New Seesmic: Update Facebook Pages and Twitter Accounts From a Single App

Did I recently post I’d given up on Seesmic?  Why, yes I did. But wait. No sooner had I gone back to TweetDeck – and I still really like the newest version of TweetDeck – the folks at Seesmic stepped up their game and added Facebook page functionality to the interface. As someone who manages [...]

The New and Improved TweetDeck

Okay, so it’s a little rough around the edges (the video quality could be clearer and the audio louder), but it is, nonetheless, my first attempt at desktop video by a new service I discovered the other day called Screenr. Here, I take a stab at explaining some of the new updates in the latest [...]
