Loves vs. Hates with Amplicate

July 22, 2010

I ran across a fun website called Amplicate the other day. Amplicate tracks the opinions you express on Twitter. Today they are reporting those as Loves or Hates. A few days ago when I found the site they used the words Rocks and Sucks. It’s an interesting way to get a feel for the overall [...]

The Twitter Vacation

June 11, 2010

It’s the opposite of what you think, we are going to tweet….a lot. Tight budgets, saving money, kids in college, etc. have combined to create our Twitter vacation.

A Twitter Tale of Two Scotts

May 14, 2010

Yesterday Scott Stratten made a comment during his #unGeeked presentation, he got on Twitter to meet other awesome business people.

Late last night I worked out details that will allow me to attend the #unGeekedElite conference in Milwaukee next week. I’m focusing this post on the local luminaries who have provided significant support to me over the last six months.
