I’ve been using the Blackberry Curve 8520 on T-Mobile here in the USA on and off for a few weeks now.  I see how and why so many business people are such huge Blackberry fans.  My family and friends call me a power emailer so [...]

I’ve been reading Ewan MacLeod’s blogs for many years now.  I started back when MIR was SMSTextNews and was inspired by Ewan to write my own blog and endevour into the mobile industry.  I went from an observer to someone involved and participating, from hosting [...]

Warning, I’m about to RANT:
I’m a huge fan of Google Maps.  It’s really a great stand alone app and it keeps getting better but I’m amazed that when they added Latitude they did not include (even just a basic form of) instant messaging with your [...]

I’m a horrible blogger.  I’ve had the FreeTalk Everyman headset for months now and used it countless times, I’ve also had the Yamaha PSG-01s for a month or so now and haven’t blogged about either one.  I could make excuses but I won’t.  I will [...]

Wow, I’m finally fully recovered from my favorite party of the year.  BuzzWorthy was off the hook and you would know if you were there and if you missed it, well YOU MISSED OUT (Will).  We packed the our space, standing room only and had [...]

So who uses Twitter?  Ok, I’m kidding.  Have you used Topify though?  I have been using them for months now.  Topify is a service that intercepts the half baked emails that Twitter sends you and spices them up.  When someone adds me on Twitter I get an email from Topify alerting me to this and [...]

I’ve been using Pikchur on an off for many months until recently when I became a full time user.  As soon as they started supporting Ovi Share I was converted.  Pikchur is like a few other picture dispensing sites except for the fact that they do a really good job in geo-tagging my pics and [...]

It’s no secret what I do.  I’m working online doing brand reputation management for emoze.  I came across a blog post today by Erik Qualman and want to share it with you.  It’s on his blog socialnomics.com.  I want you to see some very interesting statistics from this post.  I just watched the presentation and [...]

I viewed this presentation titled “What the F**k is Social Media: One Year Later” and think it’s brilliant.  I agree with Marta to a T and she presents this so well.  If you haven’t watched it you should and if your company is considering Social Media jump on it ASAP.  Feel free to ping me [...]
