I have no use for them. They are worthless. They are ubiquitous on Facebook, and now I see them on Twitter as well. If you’re a friend, and you send me one of these sorts of messages, don’t be surprised that you receive no answer or acknowledgment. I get them by the dozens, and even…
When I first started a Twitter account for my company Energion Publications (@energion), I wanted to communicate to anyone who used it that Energion was on Twitter to be a good social media citizen, communicate, and yes, of course, sell books when possible. The problem is that many people have a hard time telling the…
Having reached the 2,000 follower barrier on Twitter, I needed to bring my follower list down closer to my followed list. There are some services that will simply unfollow those who don’t follow you, but since I follow–and read–some tech gurus, news services, and such, that don’t follow me, I didn’t want to do that….

Of course, I can’t evaluate my progress in 140 characters–no surprise there–so I’m writing a blog post. I’m at 173…
I subscribe to Inside Higher Ed’s RSS feed, which delivered notice of an article by Alex Golub titled The Flaws of Facebook. Now while I’m going to react negatively to a portion of his work, there are some valid issues he’s addressing. If you’re a professor who might need to place more than one level…
There are right and wrong ways, as explained by Brian Carter.
… well, second-hand, at least. I’m going to refer you to this post from Compassion in Politics, which provided me with several additional links. I’m having a hard time still getting the best out of Twitter, both socially and for the business. Last Sunday at First UMC in Pensacola, I attended the first ICON service,…
. . . but it looks like it’s becoming more and more important. According to this MSNBC.com story, it has become much more of a factor in the way people communicate generally and about the election. I can certainly see how it (and things like it) have become more important than chat rooms for example….
