This is a tight holiday season for many of us, but we can turn the tide and bring joy to each other. Here’s the idea: list an item you’d like, but can’t afford. If someone has it in their attic or basement and would like to donate it to you, you pay only to have [...]

Hire 2.0 is a new term being bandied about since it was first introduced by Aaron Strout (formerly of Mzinga, now with Powered). I am not sure how fond I am of the term Hire 2.0. I think the concept of a social resume is much more apt, but the premise behind his experiment in [...]

Over on Tech.Blorge today, I report on the American Natural History Museum and it’s new multi faceted social media campaign to get the word out about climate change in general, and their new blog specifically.

There are inherent legal and security concerns with Government 2.0 implementation and use, as well as issues with how to fit technology, social media and transparency into [...]

I did a presentation today at Jeff Pulver’s Social Media Jungle in which I referenced how much I prefer working with Generation Y (Millenials, Digital Natives). Talk about a crowd response! In the spirit of practicing what I preach, let me share my philosophy behind it. As the Baby Boomers begin exiting the work force, [...]

Obama was elected as our next President by one of the largest margins in recent election history, ushering in a new administration under what I think can safely be called a mandate.
