Yet, every time I see a link receive mass retweets I wonder if the retweeters are recommending the link because of it’s content, because they’re supporting the person who dropped [...]

Ever since joining Google+, I’ve been reading many discussions about how cool this new network is because there’s “less noise.” I’ve never been a fan of ”noise” as a description of social networking because most of the interaction there are legitimate attempts at conversation and referring to it as noise is kind of insulting to those in [...]

If you’re on Twitter, you may have noticed all of those Paper.li newspapers made up of tweets compiled from Twitter timelines, hashtags and lists.

When I first began Tweeting, I thought I should follow everyone who followed me. Then, I thought that I should follow everyone who follows me, plus a bunch of people who don’t but who I find to be amazing anyway. Then I added a bunch of people who everyone else followed because I thought that [...]

Those of us who spend a fair bit of time on the social networks know that they present some amazing opportunities. Using Twitter to find social media jobs doesn’t have as much to [...]
