The Life and Times of Steven P. Jobs
Yesterday’s post on the birthday of the iPhone got me inspired to look a little deeper into the man behind the magic.  Here are a few of the more interesting facts that have been compiled about Steve Jobs.   Fact #1 – Stevie did not graduate from college.  In fact, Jobs dropped out after only one semester at Reed College.  (hear that ma? told you college was a waste of time.) Fact #2 – Jobs is a...

TumblrStats Tells Me I'm Awesome
I assume you already have Google Analytics installed on your Tumblr (if not, get with it).  TumblrStats is a different statistics site that presents infographics based on your posting frequency and method.

Chad Chumperson, Nickelback, and Other Things I...
Social media marketing works because it utilizes a medium that people visit regularly for their own enjoyment.  Social media does not come with a bombardment of ads, spam, and popups.  It’s not like every other advertising medium.  So don’t treat it like one.
