  • The Only Thing That's Dead Is Your Crappy "Everything Is Dead" Meme
    Many blogs and news stories talk about the death of this and the end of that. But is it really the end, or just a crappy meme - and if so, is it time to end these instead?

Caring Across Continents – The Next Phase of #12for12k

“As I see it, there are two great forces of human nature: self-interest, and caring for others.” Bill Gates. Say what you will about Bill Gates, the man has a great point.

Using Facebook Like to Market Your Business

According to new figures released by a joint survey between Exact Target and CoTweet, Facebook users use the Like option for a brand for one overpowering reason – discounts and special offers. Surveying 1,550 U.S. respondents aged 15 and older from March 2009 to April 2010, the results found that a whopping 40% of consumers like a brand or company on Facebook to “receive discounts and promotions.” When it comes to getting freebies, 36% would like a brand who offered…read more
