How Many Social Media Personalities Do I Need?

18, Sep 2011

“Should I have a personal and a professional account? Should I keep them separate?” I get this question all the time. Or this: “I have many interests, wouldn’t I want to tweet them to different accounts so that people can choose to follow what they want?” My answer has been and will always be to have [...]

Why Netflixgate Is More Interesting Than Google+ (To Me)

12, Jul 2011

Made you look, didn’t I? I actually didn’t come up with this title to get clicks. I was feeling genuinely bored of “How to set up your Google+ Circles” and “Whom to follow on Google+” blogposts. I was counting down the days until we have lists of top 10 people to put in your circle. [...]

In case you are wondering, I’m the horse, and this is coming from my mouth, as I’ve been working in the industry, and have been (and currently am) a hiring manager. This post was inspired by over a hundred resumes that I looked at over the past week in search of the next superstar to [...]

About 3 months ago, I saw this video, and it broke my heart into a million pieces. There I was crying my eyes out, in front of my large screen in my home office. It was about 4 p.m. and I was almost done with a blogpost when I paused to check out some news links [...]

Some people have truly earned their newfound fame by providing original thought and seeding the community with thought-provoking [...]

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

28, Jun 2010

Although there’s much debate about the origins of the title phrase – could it be SpiderMan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, or even Jesus? Regardless of who uttered those words for the first time (I think Jesus though , I think it’s more top-of-mind today than ever before. In the ancient land of “old media”, only journalists [...]

The Ugly Face of Social Media

30, Mar 2010

What I love most about social media is the speed with which you can meet, collaborate, build relationships with people who have the same passions as you, wherever they are in the world. I love the sense of community that some of us still feel, even though some of the communication platforms which we enjoyed [...]
