It would appear from Twitter’s recent down-time report that Twitter is making inroads to catching its certainly frustrating, albeit lovable, fail whale. It could even be that with Twitter’s growth, Twitter could parallel Moby Dick, except instead of being the next great American novel involving a whale, it could be the first great American website [...]
At least that’s what all the signs seem to be indicating. I’ve been trying to watch the evolution of online social network payments fairly closely as eCommerce is something near and dear to my heart. Being an entrepreneur, the next cutting edge area of eCommerce is of particular interest, and social networks is definitely one [...]
Last week I wrote about marketing on facebook in the real-time web. The obvious question after that is, of course, what about marketing on other real-time sites like Twitter, Delicious, and what will be an otherwise growing list of sites that begin to adopt real-time or piggy back off the popularity. Sadly, there is no [...]
The more I think about Twitter and how it’s continuing to grow in popularity in local areas (like Wilmington, NC for example) the more I realize how Twitter made the “location” part of their profile fairly worthless. The challenge If you’ve created a profile on Twitter, you may have noticed that the “location” part of [...]
It’s been a super busy week here at work. I’ve been integrating a design our graphic designer here put together (he rocks) for our new content management system (CMS), working to finish up an SEO audit for a site that really needed it, migrating our sites to different web servers, working on our new content [...]

There’s a lot of different ways to use twitter, and a lot of services out there that work in conjunction with Twitter that most people don’t know about it. Because Twitter was built on the concept of simplicity, these services aren’t included with Twitter by default. It’s the combination of these services that helps turn [...]
Social networks are pretty well main stream now. Everyone has heard of MySpace and knows what it is, and even my teachers from high school or earlier are adding me on Facebook (I’m still not sure if them remembering me is a good thing or not). Every now and then I even have a few [...]
Have a bunch of different stuff going on right now, so I am a bit pressed for time on posts. As such, here are a few things I’ve been holding in my head that I’ll share with you all real quick. There are 80+ people confirmed for the blogger social.I am super excited to get [...]
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.
