How to Avoid Weiner Tweets

June 8, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

Congressman Anthony Weiner's recent troubles with Twitter got me thinking about how many times I've done the same thing.

March 21, 2011 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

Have you noticed that some Google search results include a listing of sitelinks immediately following the main search result.

Shelby's social media strategy: I swear I don't swear

March 10, 2011 By Shelby Sapusek 3 Comments

Jim and I agree on most things concerning the social media space, but that doesn't mean we agree on everything.
