Apparently Martha Stewart has decided that blogging is a good thing, because she has jumped into the blogosphere with The Martha Blog: Up Close & Personal. Ever the marketing whiz, she is having a blog contest–add your blog to the comment section of her blog and she will check it out and, if you’re chosen […]

I Give Up–Sprint’s Samsung Instinct Sucks
I’ve really tried hard these past three days to be patient and learn to love my new Samsung Instinct. What’s not to love, right? The phone supposedly kicks the iPhone’s ass–faster download times, voice to action, more memory for the price, etc. etc. According to Sprint’s own ads, of course. This video tells a different […]
Once it’s out there, it’s out there
If I knew how to make a video, this would be a video post. Since I don’t, use your imagination: Pan to a kitchen where a guy is sitting at a table in his boxers, eating cereal and working on his laptop. Suddenly the door opens and a bunch of people walk in. Guy looks […]
Would you let Twittad pimp your Twitter profile for cash?
Twittad is a new service that, as described on their website “gives Twitter users and advertisers the opportunity to meet for product placement & website promotion on a Twitter user profile.” Sounds warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it? Then you go to the “How Twittad Works” page and the first thing you read is “Post Twitter […]
Buh-Bye Business Cards–Hello Dropcard
I read this post about the importance of remembering to bring business cards to business and social functions and was surprised neither the author nor any of the commenters knew about Dropcard. I may not be the most eco-friendly person on the planet, but I do hate paper and try to have as little of […]
Survey Says…25% of Twitterers are Old and White
Ok, not an actual survey–my own bootleg analysis based on cross-referencing my favorite book of the moment, Stuff White People Like, and this article in Time magazine about Gen-X being aTwitter. According to the author of the Time article, Bill Tancer (author of Click: What Millions do Online and Why it Matters), Twitter’s largest age […]
Is Chazz Reinhold an Entrepreneur?
Forget what I said about all Gen-Y posts about career advice being identical and useless—this one is like no other job advice blog post I’ve ever read before. Somehow this guy makes a case for the interrelationship between casual sex, video games and entrepreneurship. Here is my Cliff Notes version of his salient points: Fun: […]
More Reasons to Blog
I’m recycling this from my other blog because it relates to a post I did a while back on this blog about why I blog. Happy Blogoversary to MeOk, that’s not actually true–this is not the anniversary of my first post. It is, however, almost the anniversary of the date I started tracking visitor stats. […]
Is the Whale Jumping the Shark?
First I thought it was me…suddenly half my followers were gone, as were more than half of the people I was following. Maybe yesterday’s post recollecting the time my water broke offended people? Then I logged into my association’s account and same thing–more than half of the hard-won followers had disappeared, as had half the […]
A Vote for Plurk
The other day I blogged about Plurk‘s eminent rise as Twitter continues to disappoint with its constant “over capacity” messages and general unreliability. This morning I read this post that sings Plurk’s praises. I must be slow or something because Plurk just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I’m just not a visual person–I swear […]
