Now here’s something I never thought of. (Isn’t that always with the way with something new?)
The lovely Amanda has a new client, 211(me), and kindly asked if I’d check them out . (She put a great pitch together, by the way, by appealing to both Nathan and myself on a personal level and connecting her [...]

This morning I installed the Zemanta plugin, which suggests photos, links, articles and tags while you’re composing a blog post. After you write 300 characters, the Zemanta plugin gives contextual suggestions from Flickr, and article suggestions from 300 media sources and the blogs of Zemanta users.

Okay, so I’m curious. Where do you find the stuff that you love? More importantly, I’d like to know where you go to find the stuff you’re going to love?

There’s a great conversation going on over at my employer’s new publication, Media Bullseye. Chip Griffin has written a post questioning some of the widely-accepted “rules” of social media.

For those of you who haven’t noticed my nearly constant refrains on Twitter for most of today (and, prepare yourselves, most of the rest of the week), CustomScoop (my employer) has launched a new multi-media magazine, Media Bullseye.
Media Bullseye seeks “to provide media, public relations, and marketing professionals with news and commentary about the [...]

With a hat tip to Julia Roy for pointing this out to me, here’s a fun little time-waster for you all. Not that any of you should ever be wasting time, because that would be bad. Ahem.
