    Is it what you say…or where you say it?

    I’m sure you all know by now the controversy surrounding the recent emotional outbursts of  Kanye West and Serena Williams.  Not to mention South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson, and the ever lovely fits of rage from no-named reality-tv stars.  I guess that’s why VH1 and MTV aren’t so much about music videos anymore as they […]

    Facebook Makes You Smarter, So Twitter Makes You Dumber?!

    Scoops Here. I guess parsing out my time in favor of Facebook will do me well according to psychologist Dr Tracy Alloway from the University of Stirling in Scotland. Apparently using Facebook makes you smaaaat (that was connoting the Boston accent if you did not pick up on that), and using Twitter destoys a few […]

    Can’t Touch This!! Hammer and Social Media

    If the Hammer – or MC Hammer, Stanley, whatever you call him these days – can teach us one thing: it’s not a how-to on personal finance… it’s not fashion… it’s persistence.  Persistence in marketing his brand and staying relevant.    You may be saying, “What? That 1 or 2 hit wonder (don’t forget about […]

    Scoops Giving More Props to Facebook…

    Scoops Here. I am dedicating another post to Facebook. First being excited that they decided to fix up their events functionality, now they have finally made their well deserved mark on the Top 50 U.S. Web Properties list. For the first time, Facebook is in the Top 5 of comScore’s newly released Media Metrix rankings […]

    Finally Updates to Facebook Events!

      Scoops Here. This is a very exciting update for Facebook and I thought I would share it with all my favorite socialmedialites out there. I am probably one of so many people who create events on Facebook and wonder–why doesn’t Facebook just let you take a list of invitees and transfer it over to […]

    Don’t Be Such A Wallflower!

    Turns out, I’m a Twitter Wallflower. Seeing that, as stated before, I don’t invest nearly as much time into my twitter as Facebook, this is no surprise. According to Mojo, their proven “scientific method” shows that, though I don’t tweet much, I do show the potential to be the life of the party! See this […]

    Facebook’s Search Toolbar Gets More Muscle

    As Facebook balloons to over 250 million users, many voice their appreciation for Facebook’s small social network feel.  Unlike its so-last-year counterpart, MySpace, Facebook has successfully maintained a very personal feel, finding hundreds of ways to link the most relevant people, in the most relevant ways. Even so, because Facebook has so many interesting people, useful […]

    Facebook – Short & Sweet

    So Facebook has ‘accidentally’ disclosed that it has plans for a new site, dubbed Facebook lite. Unlike the current Facebook site, Facebook lite offers users a simplified, no-frills Facebook experience – eerily similar to Twitter, Facebooks biggest competitor. But Facebook claims that its new chip-off-the-old-block is merely the manifestation of a solution to many worldwide […]

    Teens Don’t Tweet

    This is a topic that has been in rotation for quite a while now. And you know what, I think it’s kinda true. I’ll be honest, I’m 19, an avid Facebook user, college student, middle-class background, and yet, Twitter doesn’t enthrall me – or even marginally retain my attention. And the thing is, I’m not […]

    SOCIAL MEDIA CHANGE!

    To all of the information highway skepticals, many have discussed the groundbreaking election of president Obama and its significants in modern American history, but think about this – what other campaign, in any context, is bigger than a presidential campaign? Not many. Obama’s campaign staff realized one centrally important concept. Next big campaign, next big […]
