Millenials
My cousin Paul Milligan and his Business partner Andy Brush are our web-video production go-to experts.  They are a delightful pair and despite being 20 (okay, almost 21 - in a few days for Paul), they are well beyond their years. But because they are 20 (and 21), we delight in having them around. ...
Page v. Profile v. Group (on Facebook)
Yesterday, Lindey’s (German Village) sent me a request to be a friend on Facebook.  I’m only friends with people (and those I know and like), not businesses or organizations.  I thought that people had figured this one out, especially with many other bloggers out there posting notes like...
Patience.
At Camp Akita last weekend, I attended the third annual creativity retreat.  I was refreshed on the principles that drive our industry and got refreshed from a big winter walk.  These sweet , lonely oars and life jackets reminded me of bulbs in the ground just waiting for a bit of spring to...

Facebook - You live in side of it?
Facebook is one of the most popular websites in the world. It is a website where you can find just about anyone or any cool product or business. I joined exactly a year ago and I’m amazed the people I’ve found - or that have found me. It is another social networking ( a connector) site that...
Twitter: What are you doing?!
Twitter may just be one of the best little applications on the web. It is in the most elementary form a social networking site that allows you to talk about yourself. A micro you out there for the web to see. A slice of your day or a window into your business. Twitter allows you to send out “tweets”...
