Google+ World Domination Begins
Hide your kids, hide your wife.
Last week Google+ bought the social networking site Fridge in order to improve G+ Circles. Google also hired the entire team behind Scoopler.com and JustSpotted.com.
All sites are now shut down.
Scoopler Inc. is (well, was) a very young company. Fridge was less than a year old.
So to reiterate, hide your kids.
And sure, you might as well...

10 Things Social Media Can’t Do
Your social media page cannot replace your website. While your Facebook page can be indexed like a website, it is not an acceptable substitute. Social media can’t be successful if it’s your only marketing platform. It can’t hide your customer service complaints. Use social media to respond to and remedy complaints – but you can’t to delete or remove them. It can’t make your company “hip”. ...

Demonstrate Your Psychosis Through Diagrams
I spent some time today with the web-based program Gliffy, which allows users to create and share diagrams online. While many of us have software available for this purpose, I myself take on the viewpoint “the less clutter on my hard drive, the better.” (then again, my computer is currently taped together..)
I threw together this ditty about my life using Gliffy.
Granted, the...

Please, No One Invite Anthony Weiner to Google+
Here are some features and things to know about Google+.
When you add someone to a circle, he or she will get a notification. However, this notification will NOT say which circle he or she was added to. (thus far, my ‘broadback’ circle is empty. ladies..)
When new comments are made to a post or thread, that conversation moves back to the top of your news stream. This process is called...

Facebook Says “Suck It, Google”
Google + (Plus), Google’s attempt at a social networking program to rival Facebook, is almost one week old.
Once told that the program could be the “Facebook Killer,” Facebook advocates now seem unconcerned. In fact, many are laughing.
Why?
The most popular profile on Google + is no other than Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.
That’s rich.
Zuckerberg has approximately 10,000 more...

Self Righteous Bloggers Unite
Over the holiday weekend, my beloved brother unleashed his untouchable opinion about how blog writers and Facebook addicts are obsessed with themselves. It is for this reason, he said, that they continue to share their meaningless lives with their faux friends online.
If you ‘Facebook’, tweet, or write a blog for your business, please ignore my darling brother’s views. Online marketing through...
