I develop sites for clients on a regular basis (which is often why it’s difficult for me to find time to post here), and there are still some who are resisting the use of social media as an important part of building relationships with their readers. It took me a while to understand the value [...]
I recently heard a report on NPR about how Queen Rania of Jordan was using YouTube in an effort to spread her message regarding stereotypes about the middle east. They played a clip from her Letterman Top 10 spoof, and I was impressed with how she was using the internet and social media to connect [...]
I’ve been planning on doing these for a while, and finally, with some help from some Twitter friends I have some Twitter graphics in some languages other than English. I expect to have more as I have translations and they’ll all be published over at My Social Buttons. For now I have created German, French, [...]

I love Twitter. This was not always the case, but I have come full circle and have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon with everyone else. But, nothing’s perfect, and I have a few pet peeves to share, along with some collected from other Twitter users who were kind enough to contribute:

I’ve got a new post up over at Wisdump about the top 4 mini-blogging options that are available, including a comparison chart to get a quick idea of what’s available. There are zillions more of course, allowing you to share your current mood and what you ate for breakfast, as if anyone cares, and I [...]
I’ve recently begun to see the Twitter widget in the sidebar of blogs here and there, and like this post at Lifehack.org, I have wondered why. Why do I need to know that people are doing right now? Why do I need to know that KCtheStickle is watching QVC right now, or that jaydblackman [...]
Sociable 2.0 has just been released. I’ve tried other social bookmarking plugins, but I think this one is the best. It’s easy to install and has a good interface. For some reason it didn’t work automatically in my posts, and I had to put the line of code in manually, but I think this has [...]
