Michael Flaherty Now Engages on Twitter
Though blogging and social media are quite old now, many people still doubt it’s power. Well, what if I told you that a blog post here may have encouraged a Boston City Councillor and Mayoral Candidate to not only re-vamp their strategy, but to do so in just one day? Would you then begin to […]
Michael Flaherty, It’s Not About You, It’s About Me
Here’s the problem with comparing yourself to an iPhone, if you don’t back it up by actually utilizing new technologies well, you come off as insincere and gimmicky. That’s the spot Michael Flaherty, one of the candidates for Mayor of the City of Boston, has placed himself in, at least in this blogger’s eyes. This […]

UnGoals for PodCamp Boston 4
In an article for Directory of Boston about PodCamp Boston 4, I talked a bit about some of the big names leading big talks at #pcb4. Though I’m sure the “A-team” will deliver great presentations and lead engaging discussions, they’re not what I’m most excited about PodCamp 4.

Seven Great Bloggers who Google Friend Connect

Hulu Multi-tasking
Just read an article in The Boston Globe about Hulu, internet TV and our “multitasking culture”.

Amongst his complaints are that you can’t watch internet TV from the comfort of your couch […]
