How To Market With Google’s Social Search
The past couple days the techiverse has been entertained and/or irritated at Google Buzz, Google’s stab at social networking. This isn’t another post about Google Buzz, but rather the hidden gem of Social Circle and Social Search.

BatchBook Experts
It must be true love…..or the mistletoe. BatchBook and I have been in love for three years now. It started slow and easy, I met BatchBook after Chris Brogan wrote about it. Diving into the program and it’s easy user interface made me all glowy with excitement. I melted at the to do list and SuperTags. It still warms my heart every time I check the social media SuperTag and fill out all of the details. It’s time. It’s time to admit that we’ve recently gotten a little more attached to each other.
