[Infographic] Social Media Explained (With Coffee)

This is from Marketplace Maven and it’s dated 2012, but since I never saw it before I will assume some of you haven’t either. Even if this is old news to you, it might be very useful to others – possibly even clients… especially if they are just dipping their toes into the social pond, or […]

QR Codes Make Primetime TV: The Good, The BAD, And The OMG!

Politics and the gargantuan ego of Donald Trump aside, I do like watching The Apprentice.

Going Guerrilla Against Google's #Paperless2013 Campaign
