It seems everyone has to have an obligatory post about twitter and their inability to explain it. That’s in part why I haven’t bothered posting about it. I’ve felt that if I can’t relay its potential uses or where it adds value, then I haven’t sufficiently explored it (unless of course it simply provides no [...]
I think it’s safe to say that people want to be in control. It makes things easier and more safe. Because of the internet, control is getting bigger. It’s starting to encompass the flow of things. More specifically, I think it’s growing to encompass how we ‘consume’ various products or services, and how we control [...]
The blogger social is in April. I’m stoked to be going, not just because I get to meet so many new people, and people I’ve conversed with online, but because I get to meet my other professors. The timing of this for me works out nicely as I prepare to graduate in may. I like [...]
A number of professors at the Cameron School of Business here were kind enough to donate some time to my dry-run before I present at UNCW’s Business Week this Tuesday. During the dry-run, an interesting conversation broke out on advertising on social networks that dealt with both sides of the coin (the advertiser and the [...]
Now you know. This may seem like somewhat of an odd post. If you’re reading this from the comfort of your feedreader (though “comfort” is probably more convenience as feedreaders tend to strip all the bits and pieces of my beautiful styling out of my posts *sniff*) you’re thinking “Duh.

All that to say, I was doing some market research earlier today and came across an article by ClickZ. “[People] are willing [...]
I have been involved with a lot of projects that have involved a lot of designing (websites, games, social networks, etc). I’ve spent more time sitting around a big oval table than I would have like to have (as is often the case when it comes to that kind of stuff, I guess). The worst [...]
As an entrepreneur, I am usually scanning the horizons, thinking of new business opportunities, locating market gaps, and so forth. That’s made it both unfortunate and fortunate that I’ve been going through college, getting that higher education. I say unfortunate because it’s lead to a number of ideas or companies that I wish I could [...]
I’ve been examining my post-graduation job opportunities. While I have had offers and spoken with companies (and am still very much in the process) a possible window of opportunity was opened for me recently. That possible opportunity for me was to start my own company. As such, I have been talking to a few select [...]
For those who monitor conversations for your company or for other companies, here’s a quick tidbit of humility over on this side. There were a particular number of social media sites I felt were monitor worthy. Most of these I put extra time into in terms of easily putting together tools that allowed me to [...]
