Apathetic about Social Media
by
Much like Tom, I’m feeling pretty apathetic about social media lately. Social media drives little traffic to my site. While people I have met on social media have contributed to my career (working an entire year for someone I met via Twitter) I’m still not sure I want to invest time there. What if I…
Every Twitter Thread should be a Blog Post
by
The title says it all. If you’re thinking of writing a Twitter thread, stop and write a blog post. Yes it takes a bit more work, but instead of giving your content to Twitter for free, keep it for yourself. Then write a single tweet summary and link to what you wrote. Will you get…

What about Lefties Lenovo?
by
Okay this laptop does look neat and I love to see innovation but what about left handed people? It’s setup so you can use the stylus on the right side, but that doesn’t work for me and for many others. I don’t see the option listed, but I hope you can order it with the…
