Things I’ve learned while using HootSuite and Twitter

I enjoy monitoring and working on our clients’ social media accounts but it’s a lot of fun to work on building our own social presence.

10 Rules for dealing with bad comments on your blog or Facebook page

A Timeline of Memories—The Facebook Revolution

Facebook Timeline

I remember the day I signed up for “The Facebook” (the domain was still www.thefacebook.com back then). It was November of 2004, my freshman year of college. I was young, naïve, and was told by a girlfriend that I needed to sign up because everyone was on it. So I jumped on the bandwagon and joined the website, created a profile, and uploaded a photo. Ever since that day, I don’t think I have gone more than a week without signing onto my Facebook account.
