I’m ready for you to take umbrage at this, and I say that mostly because I’m secretly pleased to use the word “umbrage.” I don’t believe in generalities, but I can say this is true of most of the men and women I know—women are “better” at social media. I…
UPDATE: Since I wrote the article below, I’ve fallen away from using Foursquare as much as I used to. I decided to re-download it to my phone to see how it’s changed. The main difference is that it’s been divided into Foursquare City Guide and Foursquare Swarm. The former is…
Typos make me smile. This one made me jump back and shout “En garde!”

When you’re preparing a piece, written or otherwise, you should get in touch with someone who is an expert on the topic you’re covering.

I am very much an amateur photographer, and I love the chance blogging gives me to develop my skills in this area on behalf of my clients. Which means sometimes I get it wrong. Check out this London Drugs blog article to see my latest lessons learned. [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″…
I consider myself a social reporter for a local non-profit where I live. I attend events, take photos, make notes, interview people here and there and then produce content. This content is usually a newsletter article with a few photos, but to support the title “social reporter,” I’ve also supplied…

Mobi-thinking.com reports that mobile Internet usage “is expected to double” by 2014 (500 million to 1 billion.) This could be a conservative…

Stephen Colbert has a huge following Twitter followers: 2,197,990 Facebook Page: 1,803,942 Online votes in 2006 to have a Hungarian bridge…
