“God welcomed his newest angel at 4:35 a.m.”

I woke up this morning to the sad news that my friend Nancy Myrland‘s dear mother had passed away: God welcomed his newest angel at 4:35 a.m. He couldn’t have given me a better mother.

New Year’s Resolution #2: Learn how this social media thingie works

I saw a great headline the other day: Dear Congress, It’s No Longer OK To Not Know How The Internet Works.

Why should we Circle on Google+ when we already Follow, Connect, Friend and Like?

Okay. I did it. I accepted Steven Swimmer‘s invitation and have now set up my Google+ account and I’m good to go. I updated my profile, set up some circles, I’m adding people here and there. Right now we all seem to be in the “Hmmm” stage. So far I realized, 1) you have to [ READ MORE ]

“Being Human is the Goal”

I’m perusing my Reader at the moment and came across a great post by Chris Brogan: The Biggest Secret of Social Media. His big secret? If you don’t like people very much, it won’t work very well.
