The FBI Wants to Watch You on Facebook (Just Like Facebook Does) January 27th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
	It seems the FBI wants a "social media application" that would allow the agency to gather intelligence from publicly shared information on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, as well as news media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. Reactions are mixed.

Redefining the eBook January 27th, 2012 by Andy Weiss
	Though I write for this blog, I'm not a writer in the traditional sense. I have several book ideas and, yet, have never put pen to paper. For me, the barrier hasn't been as much the time or the discipline needed to write as much as it has been the odds of anything I wrote ever being published that has stood in the way. Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing started to open that process up.

More Than Birds: 4 Android Apps Worth Purchasing January 26th, 2012 by Melody Weister
	At the beginning of my experience as an Android user, I would frequently insist, “There’s no way I’m paying for an app.” However, as time went by and I began to explore the operating system more, becoming increasingly comfortable with its many functions and the apps available in the marketplace, even I could not resist the pull of certain apps, most of which cost me $0.99 or less. These apps have now become part of my Android experience, and the paid versions offer features that I find to be worth the investment.

What Can Be Done When Facebook Place Recommendations Go Rogue? January 26th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
	I'd like to share a "duh" moment with you. I was recently asked about what could be done to erase an inappropriate recommendation showing up on a Facebook page. Even though the rogue recommendation was deleted from the page, and it had been reported, it still showed up for other people.

Are Brand Pages on Their Way to Extinction? January 25th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
	Like many people I know, I hate automated phone systems. This goes double for the one my bank uses. Very often, my questions are too complex to be answered by a series of pre-programmed messages. So I've figured out how to quickly get through the annoying series of directions and go right to the answer I want.

If You Like It, Put A Pin On It January 24th, 2012 by Jake Watt
	I know what your wedding day will look like. Your next trip to Europe, you know, when you'll visit the Casa Malaparte? That dream home tucked away deep in Cascadia, designed to mirror the shapes and materials of your favorite skyline? I don't really know your reveries specifically, and neither does the startup I'm penning this post about. But those around you do. Those pins you share are visions on display, offered up to those who care enough to stop by your digital pinboard. Pinterest is truly an amazing shift; we are beginning to tap into a much richer digital experience and connectivity socially. Pinterest as a platform creates a community of architects, literal and nonliteral, pop culture and counter culture, kitchen and piercings...

What is the Zero Moment of Truth? January 24th, 2012 by Tristan Pelligrino
	I sent out a tweet (embedded below) last Friday about Jim Lecinski's (Google’s Managing Director of U.S. Sales & Service) new eBook, “Winning the Zero Moment of Truth.” I finally had a chance to check out the videos and the eBook over the weekend. Do you know what a ZMOT is?

4 Juicy Rumors — and 1 Nerdy Wish List — for the Apple TV January 24th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
	2012 is supposed to be the year that Apple reveals the "code" that co-founder Steve Jobs "finally cracked" about TVs. Apple is a tight-lipped, iron-clad company, so it's not saying much. But the devotees (and shareholders, no doubt) obsessed with its mystique are keeping the rumor mill churning with rumors about a full-fledged Apple TV device being built and brought to market by the end of this year, or the beginning of 2013. Based on the rumors, this thing is going to make The Jetsons look like The Flintsones.

5 Apps to Help You Survive the Winter January 23rd, 2012 by Judi Cutrone
	The freezing temperatures, the fading sunlight, the mountains of snow and ice and frustration; winter can overwhelm in January, once the holidays end and spring still feels so far away. Luckily, there's relief to be found right on your mobile device or tablet. Here are five apps designed to help you survive the winter with your sanity intact. 1. Suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder? There's an App for That. Seasonal Affective Disorder, which for many has its onset in the fall and continues throughout winter, can have real physical affects on your body and your mood.

6 Things American Football Teaches You About Social Networking January 23rd, 2012 by Christine Geraci
	Ever try to get work done in your own home during the playoffs? If you've got a spouse who thinks your television doubles as an earpiece to his favorite team, then...well, you know it's a challenge. Especially if there's yelling AND unprovoked assaults on furniture (nothing was broken, thank goodness).
