Email is social networking glue.

It is difficult to sync your contacts. Email, social networking, mobile devices. Each has its own set of contacts. One may or may not be able to sync with the other. I drew this drawing to keep track of where my data is, where I want it to be, and how to connect it all together.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

In 2009, my social networking fun was interrupted by Big Stuff: my wife and I decided to amicably divorce.

First, to remind my readers (and myself)… [click here to read more]

My #FollowAugust experiment explained.

When my son turned 13, he got a Twitter account. When he asked me who I follow, I said, "Everybody who follows me and then some." But when I looked more closely at my Twitter profile, I realized that my follower list was not appropriate for a 13-year-old's eyes. By virtue of following back those who followed me, I… [click here to read more]

Thoughts on Yaz by guest blogger Jim Houhoulis.

Editor's note: I often wore a #8 Yaz jersey while coaching Babe Ruth baseball in Acton, MA, this spring. Yaz was my favorite player when I was a kid. Jim, whose son was on my team, shared these memories with me by email and graciously let me republish them here. - @ErikJHeels

The only constant is change.

There is no right to the status quo. You do not have the right, your children do not, your neighbors do not. Time marches on. Things change. To deny change is to deny time, to deny reality.

I have been writing this article in my head for years. The notion that… [click here to read more]

All web pages are shareable items. All titles are Twitter tweets. Get used to it.

The Internet is changing. Your writing habits need to change as well.

Articles Are Born As Web Pages, But Then They Grow Up And Move Out
