Your online identity—add to it!
Everyone has their online identity. You have a website. You have your blog. Your LinkedIn. Twitter. Facebook.

Or, at least I hope it doesn’t. There… Continue Reading

Andy Sernovitz, contributing writer for the Smart Blog on Social Media has a great take on this and who he think should be running the… Continue Reading

The Only Thing We Have to Fear…Is Another Facebook Redesign
New data has come to light that pins the success of Facebook’s new visual overhaul with a dismal 20% approval rating. According to Mark Zuckerberg, “Around 20% of our users have now migrated to the new platform and it has been received well after people get used to it.” 1 As with other novel features on Facebook the redesign has clearly been met with massive opposition. Now the real question is, what should Facebook do? That’s easy, think of the… Continue Reading
