LiveFyre- A Cut Above the Commenting Systems Out There.

My Pet Peeve in Social Media This Week

In February I was accepted to speak at #140confNYC and I figured I couldn’t be that in demand that someone would already want to steal the spot light from under me. I was wrong. I did in fact have a friend who decided to be opportunistic and assumed that because we were friends she could [...]

Steam and Authenticity by Jim Tigwell(Guest Post)

This helps your audience engage with a person rather than an organization or [...]

Personal experiences with Steam

My first experience with Steam was when a friend bought me Borderlands. There was a deal for a 4 pack, and he wanted to include me.

Politics and Social Media Clash: Sam Brownback vs Emma Sullivan
