I'm as guilty as anyone for being sucked into the group buying frenzy. Hey, a deal is a deal. Of course I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all those massages and laser hair removals. Lately however I've noticed a growing trend when using one of these deals that actually has me wanting to not purchase or use them anymore. Grouponitude. What is Grouponitude you ask? ...

Pinterest For Dudes
Okay, okay, guilty as charged for jumping on the blogging about Pinterest bandwagon this week, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't chime in right? But at least I'm taking a unique angle by trying to be a little more helpful for the gents out there as it pertains to the most recent social darling, Pinterest. Even on pinterest, dudes can shop very nice stuff like t-shirts etc. I've been kicking the tires a bit on Pinterest the past few weeks, and it's definitely something I'm finding more ...
February Facebook Page Music Package Giveaway

Regardless of the circumstances, algorithms, or opinions, I'm flattered and it's just another feel good moment ...
Social Reach: Size Does Matter
A popular topic amongst social media folks is the ongoing discussion around how many likes/followers a person or organization has and how much that matters.

Escape Routes: The Ultimate Social Reality Adventure
It's not too many times in your life when you actually get asked to audition for a reality show, but that's exactly what happened last week. A casting producer for the upcoming Escape Routes contacted me and while at first I didn't think it was feasible, the more I learned about it, the more I realized it would be a monumental mistake not to.
