Fun Friday: The influencing moment

The business channel frequently does “Fun Friday” posts that you can see all over the channel. Last Friday I participated, but forgot to tag it as a Fun Friday post because I was busy doing blog off stuff.

I’m familiar with the term  but I’m not sure how it applies to this particular form of social media.

Twitter is just another role playing game

This guest post comes from Dennis Peterson, whom I’ve become friendly with on Twitter. He’s got a REALLY good point.

Statement: Twitter is just like a massively multi player online game, it could be World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Eve Online or one of the many other MMOs out there.
That’s quite a bold statement some […]

Microfame, micro impact?

and now, without further ado, the aforementioned guest post from the fabulous Ms. Lisa Thomas-Tench.
We had an interesting chat the other day about being ‘Internet-famous’. Two of my favourite b5 bloggers, Colleen Coplick and Tris Hussey, were trying to list off people they thought were truly famous based on their web impact alone.
Guy Kawasaki didn’t […]

Ooops.

Well, I’d promised I was going to stay up all night and I was going to post once an hour, for the entire 24 hours. Yeah, clearly, that didn’t happen. I crashed, and hard.
I’m back now, and I have a bunch of posts ready to go, so I’ll get caught up and continue through […]

Can’t be a jerk no more….
Well, I can. But you can’t. Why? Cause I’m willing to stand by my jerkiness (and so is this guy)

Charity

I have to admit. I’ve never been one for charity much. I’ve never been very… generous to specific charities. And yet, there was something today that I came across on Queen of Spain’s blog that hit me. And it hit me HARD.
Our charity for the great blog off. I have a particular bent when […]
