Business dashboards are all the rage in companies around the world. Some companies use them solely to help senior management with decision making while others use them company wide. Many businesses still use manual dashboards created using spreadsheet programs but the trend now is to automate the process. Some business leaders like Andrew Defrancesco see dashboards as simply charts while others see them as key decision making tools. There is no denying that many businesses now use dashboards in ...

5 Must Have Social Media & Productivity Chrome Extensions
Over the past year I’ve really worked at giving a variety of web browsers a fair shake at becoming my go to browser for every day use. I’ve used the major players such as IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and even gave RockMelt a spin (see here for my review of that platform). While I have found myself predominately using Chrome for a variety of reasons such as speed, performance, UI and quite frankly I love the extension platform. I’m not alone as usage of Chrome has climbed past 20% market ...
Hootsuite vs Tweetdeck: I’m Going Owl The Way
For quite some time Tweetdeck was my preferred choice when it came to social media management software. I’ve typically chosen software based solutions over web based ones for speed and performance when it comes to high touch computing.

If you have an old laptop you can use cloudready install and update your laptop. Many old schoolers ...

As a thank you to those that visit and contribute to my blog, I’ve wanted to do some sort of giveaway for awhile, but wanted it to be somewhat relevant to what I do and write about.

To one lucky reader I will be giving away the following social media book package: Socialnomics by Erik ...
Dropbox It Like It’s Hot
I love it when a company does one thing, and does it extremely well. Cloud storage is definitely a growing technology, but for the most part, too complicated for the masses to adopt. Most people outside of tech still don’t get it, and probably won’t for some time. It’s a shame too, because storage in the cloud is so stinking convenient. Not having to worry about carrying a portable hard drive, thumb drive, or the right device is extremely liberating. And no one does ...
