Soundtrack of Your Life

Since I am all about reuse, I bring to you content originally seen in a Facebook note…
Pick the “top twenty” songs for the “soundtrack of your life”!
You can write in NA for anything not applicable (e.g. #2 if you’re an only child or #10 if you’re single) or come up with an alternate category for [...]

Social Networking at Work – Parameters

In a previous post, I talked about how I feel about social networking at work – that it’s a great opportunity for employees to be able to interact and converse with our customers and others in the industry.

Scrabulous Not So Fabulous

The news was all over Twitterthis morning…it seems that Mattel/Hasbro has issued a take down order on the popular Facebook application Scrabulous due to what they call a trademark infringement. 
I must confess, I don’t play this game, but I know many (Emilie, Dani, etc) who are totally addicted to it.  Someone on Twitter pointed me to [...]
