Twitter Newbies: The Thanksgiving Vacation Challenge At Thursday’s massive Networking Phoenix event I met dozens of people who have opened Twitter accounts but are not sure [...]

Here are two “before” photos, and then the “after” photo I created by combining the first two. See if you can spot the differences! Before photo #1: Before photo #2: And here is the final product: Have more questions about this subject? Need help establishing a social network presence for your product or service? I [...]

Today I thought I would share two helpful and easy-to-use Twitter tools. TwtrFrnd is a really simple but very useful app created by @adrianwinter that shows you which followers you have in common with another tweep.

I receive a daily blog called Inside Facebook. It’s especially written for people who have something to do with the business side of Facebook. I like receiving it via email rather than via RSS because it’s easy to read on my Blackberry. Or, rather, I would like it, if I were always able to read [...]

I’m taking a break from design-talk today in order to give some social networking advice to small businesses. The advice is this: When you read a statistic related to “social media” that just blows you away, try to read the original study. The people who published the mind-blowing statistic may have been selectively interpreting the [...]

If you look at the first column on the right, you’ll see “Subscribe via RSS!” and “Subscribe via Email!” with the little RSS icon beneath. (It’s called a “chiclet” – no lie!) Getting the RSS link to look right wasn’t too hard, but the email link was a little tricky. Your RSS feed subscription service [...]
