Asking Twitter vs Googling for it

September 3, 2010 By Jim Raffel 6 Comments

Use as Many Channels as You Can

August 18, 2010 By Jim Raffel 5 Comments

I recently learned that all four of my siblings and my mother read this blog on a regular basis. This is especially strange to me not only because I am the youngest of the bunch but because of how they each find their way here. Small Sample....but. I was a little surprised that Mom and … [Read more...]

Inner Circle of Friends

August 2, 2010 By Jim Raffel 9 Comments

I've got this friend named Twitter, she's pretty much awesome. Even awesome friends push you away sometimes. It's OK, she's in my inner circle of friends and in no time we'll be best buds, hanging out together again. While Twitter and I "take a break" I've got this other friend LinkedIn.
