Perhaps, but only because I think it benefits me both personally and business-wise. I’m not a huge “needless chatterer” on social media, but I’m willing to bet a majority of you can

Managing multiple chat clients separately is a nightmare. Colleagues and some key clients use a variety of tools, including AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and Google Talk. While I do have accounts on all of these, handling multiple chats and logs, for me, is a snap.
HP to Buy Palm: Here’s My Plea
Apr 28th
Probably the most exciting tech announcement of 04/28/2010 was HP’s plan to buy Palm for just over $1 billion. Palm has the experience, HP has the global market. Hopefully, HP will take note of what works for Palm. Call this my “HP Plea…” even though I’m just a user…

Is Social Media Missing the Blind Picture?
Apr 21st
I watched the f8 live keynote, whereas Facebook powers-that-be introduced new tools that will give us all a much more open Web. Sounds great to me… but will this make surfing and socializing on the Internet better for some 2% of the population, of which many already feel crippled?
I Turn 40… Today…
Apr 20th
Okay, so the secret is out, thanks to Facebook (and, in turn, Twitter), so I really cannot escape it all. I’m turning 40 today – but not until after 4 pm, my mother says. Still, I can’t help but wonder what it all really means. I don’t feel any different. Then again…
