I’ve said this before and am glad someone else is saying it too.

Thanks to @MissLiz27 for sharing this link.  She saw my tweet earlier about how I find myself developing a “Like” reflex from using Facebook too much.  Here’s how Coca-Cola is encouraging teens to “like” IRL.  My question would be how many teens stopped the splashing and socializing to “like” the different activities.  Were they, as they say, living the moment or Facebooking the moment?

If you’ve blogged about Facebook Places or location based services platforms in general lately, please feel free to share them here.

If Vampires had a PR firm for representation this is how the whole Vampire craze would be explained…this is priceless (and fluffy, but funny). 

By the way, I still haven’t been bit by the Vampire bug…so can someone please tell me what the next fiction trend is going to be so I can be ahead of the game?

don’t count the browser out just yet. These shifts happen in waves. First the browser took over everything, then developers wanted more options and moved to apps (desktop and mobile), but the browser will eventually absorb those features, and so the leapfrogging continues. The ubiquity of the browser overcomes most of its technical deficiencies. Even in mobile, people will become overwhelmed by apps and the browser will make a comeback.

Agree or disagree? Read the entire article and weigh in. You can probably tell by the quote I pulled where I stand on the issue.

White boards are SO 1999.  Or are they?
In the past week, I’ve seen someone looking to get hired with one, and someone well, looking to fire their boss with one. (see link below)
And here I was wondering why I felt light-headed…must be those markers!
A special thank you to friend @georgegsmithjr for sharing the link to the girl quitting.
