Internet Socialization
My friend @teewilts inspired me to tweet this just now:
She mentioned that she had an interview for an administrative position with a certain global brand and was drilled: “HOW MANY TWITTER FOLLOWERS DO YOU HAVE???!?!?!” I totally LOLcanoed at that one. What are you (brand) actually going to do with her followers? They don’t love you. They love her.

1. What is Google+ in one sentence?
Facebook in the style of the Googleverse.
2. What makes it...

Complete List of April Fool's Day Internet Gags →
Thankfully, TechCrunch took the work out of compiling the list myself. I was entirely too busy laughing and forwarding to pin these down by the end of the day. April Fool’s Day is the internet equivalent of Super Bowl Sunday in regard to the quality of comical commercial interruption.

Startup Watch: Ohours!
Remember back in college when you had to chase down your professor, advisor, counselor, registrar, etc, for office hours to get the time of day in to work through issues with your program? (I KNOW I DID/DO/WILL AGAIN SOON IN THE FUTURE!)
