Find Your Online Home at Zooity

I recently received an email about a new service that’s just been launched. Still in beta, Zooity offers users a one-place stop to share all your online ID’s and networks.

Discussing Social Media with… Sonny Gill

A little while back, I sent out a request via Twitter asking if anyone would be interested in being interviewed for a discussion on social media.

Picture Perfect (Or The Power Of The Avatar)

There’s a saying that a picture paints a thousand words – but can it also create a thousand questions?
