of data was released that shows women dominating social
media. Apparently, women outnumber men on Facebook,
Twitter, FriendFeed, Flickr, Classmates, MySpace, Hi5 and
del.icio.us. Women tie men on LinkedIn, YouTube and
Bebo. The boys,… Read More »

I created this social network online in hope to make some changes in the United States. Things here may seem like they are getting better, but yet there is no help available to homeless families. If there is help it is truly hard to find. People like to gossip and say things that… Read More »

These days, everyone is talking about blogs, online communities, social networks, and social applications. You can use them to make friends online. You can promote your business. You can use them to find a date, even.
But have you ever come away from an online conversation with that feeling of "ICK"? Or worse, have you found that people tend to ignore you, and you just can't figure out why? Maybe you're making some of these social media blunders - check and find out if you are a misfit or if you are IT. Do you...

How do I draw firm boundaries without risking a good business relationship?
UPDATE: Parted ways with the client. Huge sigh of relief.
