Will Twitter Aid in the Demise of Facebook?

by Eric Greenspan on May 14, 2010

RANT: Social media/marketing or is it just Sales 101-the online version?

November 5, 2009

I’ve been learning a ton about social media lately, but I have to say, I never feel like I’m actually getting anywhere with it all. I have nothing to sell really, just “call Make It Work when you need onsite computer repairs or help with your gadgets.” But I’m not really selling a product or [...]
