Picasso once said that Good artists copy, great artists steal… So I am “stealing” @IkePigott‘s video in regards to the new Facebook page changes, because well, he says it better than I could…and he already did the workI’m thinking it would be good to be Caligula in this situation… ...
Unfortunately, even after listing 10 great topics that any blogger can use last week, I still didn’t feel motivated today (what? I’m not perfect!). So, I decided to ask for some help from my friends and posted the above status update to facebook and twitter. Thank goodness for great friends, because in just 10 minutes I had the following great ideas! And now, I have...
Or better named: Why I avoided joining Facebook in the beginning. When I started my social media strategy (blogging, twitter, linkedin, etc) almost a year and a half ago, I avoided adding facebook into the mix. It wasn’t until about 8 months ago that I finally became part of it. Why? Because none of my real friends were on twitter or linkedin, and definitely none of them read...
In January, I talked about creating a social media strategy that works for me – how often I do certain things and the schedule I try to keep. It covered a lot of the details, but there were some gaps. I didn’t talk about all the sites that I used or what they meant for my strategy. So in May, I covered how I use...

So, a few days ago, I asked if he would guest post about his...
Although a bit tongue in cheek, this list (Pointed out to me via Twitter, can be found at nheerdesign, and originally put together by someone on facebook) is the ultimate list of ‘ways to know you are a graphic designer. Although my career is not 100% a graphic designer, I definitely had to shake my head at a few of these. Oh, and I...
So facebook owns my data. What’s the big deal?I have to say I was a bit surprised by the response to Facebook’s new policy (just search twitter for #tosfb to see what I mean). In an article by Stan Schroeder, he talks about his opinion on the new policy. Yes, I can understand his frustration as they basically own your data now, and did it...
Oh…look at all the pretty colors! No, I didn’t go crazy with a swirl art, I got a bit of creative motivation from Ari Herzog’s blog post about a new tool on Facebook, created by Thomas Fletcher. It is a facebook friend wheel, and all those colorful lines are a visual simulation of the mutual connections that my friends create. Ari explains the power of the...
