While this is the first time social media is the topic, it's not the first time I've written about David Burke's Primehouse restaurant in Chicago.

Time is irrelevent
A while back Shelby Sapusek shared a guest post on this site entitled "What to do when there's too much to do," and something she said in that post about tasks taking as long as they take caught my eye.

Different social media tools have different purposes. More and more folks will begin gravitating to tools where they can control who and how many people see their messages and status updates.
