Being Social Beyond Social Media

by Leave a Comment

While driving to meet a friend for coffee to discuss some upcoming business plans I was reminded how important social interaction is to me professionally and personally. I personally find what I refer to as analog networking and social interaction to be very rewarding. I have really come a long way in this regard from the IT guy who was content to sit behind his keyboard and interact mostly through IRC, Email and IM. Now I just couldn’t see living any other way, the connections I make with people inspire me to give that much more, to work that much harder and remind me of the important things in my life. Here is the Podcast I recorded while driving to my coffee appointment.

by 1 Comment

This morning I woke up and while scanning Twitter for news I noticed @Mashable has an article about a Facebook re-tweet feature. This is kind of a big deal for Facebook users but many Facebook users aren’t also Twitter users so I knew it would be useful to do a screencast to demonstrate the feature and talk about the benefits. The two reasons you should use it:

  1. To provide the person who original shared the content credit for their efforts.
  2. To encourage your friends to become fans of similar content that interests you.

Here is a screen cast demonstration of how to use the feature:

A Free iPhone or Droid App Idea

Well I had an idea and it turns out someone already created the application I was interested in. Now I just need to wait for it to be available for my Droid phone. I want to thank tyzmini on Youtube for the heads up. He found my video and let me know that the product already existed.
