I’ve been testing out, using, and utilizing Google+ now for 5 days. I’m proud to say that I was in on Google+ on Day 1, because it’s like being in the ground floor of a building that’s being built around you. There’s tons of activity, lots of potential, and builders who are actively listening to the ideas and concerns that their new tenants have. …
Ok, I promise this is the last post about BlogWorld... but I wanted to elicit a bit of a briefing from people who attended (or didn't attend) my session. Namely, I had a few questions I'd like to get some answers to: If you attended... Did you enjoy the session? What was your WordPress knowledge going in Did something I say or do convince…

UPDATE: I managed to write this into a plugin – Facebook Like Button Since Facebook announced a few days ago that you would be able to use its OpenGraph technology to “like” pretty much anything on the Internet, I took it upon myself to test out a few solutions for adding a “Like” button on the site. It turned out to be fairly easy,…
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…
So, if you haven’t been closely following the incident involving TechCrunch, Twitter, and a very astute hacker called Croll, then you’re missing out on a turning point for internet security as we know it. In case you’re new to the story, here’s what happened in a nutshell, via TechCrunch: HC (Hacker Croll) accessed Gmail for a Twitter employee by using the password recovery feature…
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…
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.

So, I was looking through a design gallery when I came across “Magpie” – which claims to be able to make you so much money by overtaking your twitter account at random intervals and posting an advertising tweet.
