Color Status
I found this in my Facebook inbox yesterday morning from a local friend: Something fun is going on….write the color of your bra in your status. Only the color nothing else. And send this to ONLY gals no men. It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of Cancer Awareness. It [...]

101 Lists
I just noticed that I’m on 101 Twitter lists. Lists are a new feature that let you group people you follow any way you like, publicly or privately. I have a few lists myself: Jersey people, funny people, creative people- and a couple private ones that include the folks I like to follow a little [...]

Facebook: My Real Name Update
I get a lot of hits via search engines to this post, from (I assume) women wondering whether and how to add their maiden name to their Facebook profile. So I thought I’d add an update to let you know that Facebook has a new(ish) field in your account settings that lets you add an [...]

We the Tweeple
People don’t get Twitter. No, I know you do, I’m talking about those other people. The ones who look at me like this O_o (see what I did there?) when I say I’ve been using Twitter regularly for over two years. The ones who say “Who cares what I’m doing and why should I care [...]

Mostly web geek stuff
Unbelievable how busy I am all of a sudden. Remember last summer when I was worried because I had no active clients for almost 2 months? Ha, those were the days… I expected today to be a fun one down in Philly, we had luxury box tickets for the Mets v Phillies game, but alas, [...]

Making Facebook (Time) Suck Less
With so many family members and old friends signing up for Facebook I thought it might be time for a post on how to use Facebook without losing hours of your life that you’d rather be doing something else with (like using Twitter…?) Plan to spend an hour or so for the initial setup. If [...]

The story behind my new cards
A funny thing about this online world I travel in is that when you meet in person an exchange of business cards is almost mandatory. Even though we have all kinds of electronic doohickeys into which we can input contact info for everyone we meet, we trade cards like, well, trading cards. So over the [...]

Twitter Won’t Make You Rich…
Yesterday I met a bunch of local people who use Twitter. I already know a bunch of local people who use Twitter, but these were (mostly) new to me. Was fun meeting them all! The first thing that struck me was that there was an agenda! And a scheduled speaker! Usually we just pull out [...]

Facebook Connects the Dots
Suddenly my life is flashing in front of me, and it’s all on Facebook. It started slowly. I joined Facebook and mostly added people I knew from Twitter, because, well, that’s who was there! Aside from my kids & their friends, it was mostly the early adopter crowd (and my kids ignored my invites.) As [...]

A Lesson Learned Via Server Logs & Twitter
Last night I was going through my server logs for Pixel Currents, curious to see who was visiting the site and how they found it. I noticed a few people had clicked through from a couple twitter accounts belonging to people I don’t know, so of course I headed over to Twitter to see what [...]

Tweeting Obama’s Speech
As we celebrated the Inauguration of President Obama (love typing that…) yesterday I, of course, was hanging out on Twitter. During his speech I was moved a couple times to grab a quote and post it. “restore science to it’s rightful place” WOOO! and “our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.” I quickly [...]

Human Touch
I’m not sure what the final numbers are, but a whole mess of people got together this weekend just to hang out in a basement in Milwaukee. They came from California, Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and even England. They flew to one of the coldest places in the USA just to hang out. [...]

Facebook: My Real Name
Note: I’ve added an update showing the new tool Facebook has added to address this! A few weeks back I wondered whether to add my maiden name to Facebook. I decided go ahead and do it, and since then I found a few other friends from my childhood, and I didn’t have to explain who [...]

Central NJ Tweetup
Had a great time last night, as much fun as one can have in a Panera Bread I suspect, at the Central NJ Tweetup organized by Sean. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you have a chance to meet online friends in real life, do it! Tomorrow I head into Brooklyn [...]

Find me on Facebook- if you know my name
I’ve been reconnecting with HS friends on Facebook. Debating whether I should put my maiden name in there or not. I did add it into the “former name” box so supposedly it comes up in a search (wait, let me test that- yep, works) but who exactly is going to search for me? Mostly we [...]

Not at a conference this weekend…
This weekend a number of my social media compatriots are in Las Vegas at Blog World Expo, the largest US based social media/blogging convention there is. Others have headed to Québec to participate in PodCamp Montréal, a much smaller but still important “unconference.” Me? I’m at home cleaning out my son’s bedroom. I never really [...]

We all come home- to Twitter
We early adopters are an interesting bunch. We travel en masse from micro-blogging site to micro-blogging site. We grab our usernames. We test the features. We hope that maybe This Will Be The One. Sometimes we fill them with our content broadcast with Ping.fm, which lets you send one message to over twenty social networks, [...]
