No such thing as spare time.
No such thing as free time.
No such thing as downtime.
All you got is life time.
Go.

Just got an email from a friend of mine who’s looking for a new opportunity and how he used Twitter & LinkedIn to get 2 interviews in 30 minutes. The email is below: Unbelievable how fast this online media stuff can connect you. Looking for a job, got a Twitter feed this morning of best companies to work for in America. <company name> with Denver office came up. Quick visit...

I recently read a post on Jason Markow’s blog (which you should read frequently; it’s good for you) about narcissism and personal branding.

Back on April 13th, I lectured in Professor McCubbrey’s class on how a CIO could use Web 2.0 for their business. The focus of that lecture really how the social media landscape is evolving and then talk about how a CIO may utilize these changes.

I was one of the MBAs. The feeling of futility grows the more times you go through that exercise. You do your best to collect the information you need and yet some part of you understands the...

She replied; “I don’t have much content and was hoping you could blog for us.”. This was after a conversation last week where she shared with him that she was really passionate...
Found this awesome visualization of check-ins at this year’s SXSW, across Brightkite, Foursquare, Twitter, Gowalla, etc on SimpleGeo. Great way to see the coming prevalence of geo-location awareness. Enjoy!
Recently, there have been numerous stories about social networks, virtual worlds and gaming sites utilizing virtual goods as a way to monetize their offering. The game FarmVille is something many Facebook users are familiar with and the game allows you to “farm with your friends”. It’s currently the most popular game on Facebook with over 82 million users and members can use...
I’ve been working on redesigning my site, starting with the mobile aspect first and it’s an interesting exercise to go through. The first thing I considered was how navigation works. When I use my iPhone, I don’t necessarily want to use two hands to navigate. I usually have it in my right hand and use my thumb to navigate; turning it horizontally for data entry. This means that...
