Do I No Longer Need Comments?

July 6, 2011

I might be done with comments. I know what you’re thinking…mostly that I must be crazy. How can a blogger be done with comments? Probably because they’re just not enough anymore. Let me walk you through my logic: Back when I got started blogging, I was desperate for comments. I wanted to know that more […]

LinkedIn Report: Men More Savvy Online Professional Networkers than Women

June 22, 2011

The battle of the sexes. Got to love the idea that we’re still in an “us vs. them” world sometimes. Even if we do try to make it more about uniting instead of separating, you have to acknowledge there are differences between men and women. Well, when it comes to online professional networking, it looks […]

The Passion of Gary Vaynerchuk

April 29, 2011

This post is available at Forbes blogs: I have not had the opportunity to ever to be a guest on one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” episodes…but I now feel like I understand the insanity that ensues.

March 30, 2011

This post is available over at Forbes blogs: Social media has brought a sense of “realness” to the fakeness of online identities. People used to hide behind anonymity, and then we declared (with Mark Zuckerberg leading the way) that you couldn’t be taken seriously if you were hiding behind avatars and names like TechKitty5837. We embraced […]

Mark: Why Ruin it for the Rest of Us?

September 27, 2010

The Social Network is opening soon. I’m going to see this movie, but it kind of makes me mad that I’ll be going to see it. Facebook and all it’s drama seems to represent the end of the Gen Y spectrum that makes me shudder. Mark, you drive me crazy. There are a lot of […]

Geeking Out for a Second

September 20, 2010

Several fun things happened this week, even though I think I was even more busy than I have been since arriving at Tech. I wanted to share some of these because we always need a reminder of the little things in life that make us happy. I hope you take a moment to think back […]

When Social Media Isn’t Like Breathing

September 14, 2010

In the past few months, life has changed. I moved from Minneapolis to St. Louis, then to Blacksburg. I left my job and started an MBA program. I have a completely new kind of schedule. All of that brings me to this conclusion: I find that I’m just not online as often anymore. Contributing to […]

Being the Constant New Girl

August 5, 2010

I would like to think I’m a pro at being the New Girl. I’m getting ready for move number thirteen, attended six different schools before high school and regularly walk into a room ready to make friends. Once you leave the academic comfort zone, however, you find all kinds of situations that force you to […]
