So I had the privilege of testing out the TwitCam service today, and (since I had nothing better to talk about), I decided to do one of my favorite summertime activities: Grill Hamburgers! Sure, it was a little awkward at first, especially because I'm more accustomed to being behind the camera instead of in front of it. But I’ve been looking for a great…
I’ve been following the story out of Chicago about the Bonnen v. Horizon Realty Group (latest post on Mashable is that Horizon is backpedaling) with some keen interest. Here’s a tenant who says something bad about her (former?) landlord, to 20 people (the number of followers she has) and it ends up leading to a huge social-network-fronted outcry from the company. It’s the first…
People always say that I'm a numbers guy. This commercial feeds that love. The stats have to come from somewhere (I’d love to see the data behind it), but it’s still interesting to see how many people are using the mobile web. My favorite line: “233,000 people just sent a tweet on twitter. 26% of you don’t know what that means”. But then again,…
OK, I swear this time I'm going to write more. If my wife can find time to blog and still has time to be with the baby and do a full time job, then so can I. Bloggers are a funny lot. They (and I say they because I am [obviously] not a good blogger, as my blog goes for a few days without…
If you have't seen the new White House government site, I have to say that Obama's web guys know what they're doing. Nice feature rotator, inviting color scheme, and easy-to-use links to all the important parts - kudos to the people behind this website. The coolest part, as mentioned by @allenfuller, is that the inside pages have the oval office walls at the top. …

Never fear: we’ve all been there, and it took the knowledge of some great minds to get us there. Here are some great books to get you caught up to speed with…
If anyone wants to add to the fun, feel free to in the comments below. In the US, we follow twitter to catch up with friends. In Soviet Russia, twitter follows you! And you always get caught ;) In the US, College students use facebook to find out where parties are. In Soviet Russia, "The Party" can always find you ;) In the US,…
Normally I’m not one to recycle information on the net (I think that we’ve already become a big enough echo chamber without one other voice being added) but I do like this PDF put out by 14 of the best minds in Social Media. It’s a great read! Social Media 2009 Publish at Scribd or explore others: Management Business social media 2009
Tell Santa he made me a Cole's shopper. I'm coming here for everything but toilet paper. Any store that puts the parent ahead of the buck at Christmas deserves my business. Tell Mr. Cole his Santa Claus ought to get a raise. I am such a fan of Miracle on 34th Street (yes, both the original and the remake). It’s a classic Christmas movie…
Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, ushering in the Christmas/holiday season (whether its shopping, parties, or travelling that you do, you do so much more of it during the last 30 days of the year, it seems). But it's easy to forget sometimes that your readers, commenters, and online social network friends are there all year round, giving you great discussions and passing your…
