Everyone is talking about Pinterest, the social “pinning” site used to share, well, anything. It’s a little early to say, but judging by the buzz (and the amount of people posting about Pinterest on their blogs), it has a good chance of becoming the top social site for 2012 and perhaps the next big thing.

Every day, at least a dozen people tell me to post something in my Facebook status. They usually go something like this: I love puppies. They’re cute, cuddly and the best gosh darned friends ever.

An age I’m not allowed to reveal under peril of death. My mother worked from home designing courses for accountants until she [...]

To the Teens in My Life Who Also Happen to Be Facebook Friends, I adore you even though you probably view me as the crazy aunt/cousin/friend who overshares on Facebook and talks too much about Twitter, my child and the weather. It’s that adoration prompting me to reach out to you today. I know Facebook [...]

So I’ve been spending some time on Google+. Ok, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Google+. In fact, though I still use Facebook and Twitter, it’s changed the way I use both.
