I have never been exactly reticent about my deficiencies in math and logic. I mean, I’m really well rounded, but I won’t lie: I often add and subtract on my fingers; ask my phone to calculate percentages in line at the Macy’s One Day Sale; and so help me, please do not ask me what year it was 33 years ago. I will look at you as if I’m resolutely working out the numbers in my head; but if I were a cartoon, my eyes would be crossed and you would see birds circling my head. I don’t know the answer, and 9 times out of 10, I don’t care. (more…)

As we all know, social media is constantly changing. There’s new social networks popping up everyday, entirely new services are being used by your customers that you’ve never even heard of and you’re still discovering new features in Facebook.

The other day, the difference between Twitter and Facebook came up in a meeting – and with good reason. Facebook asking “What’s on your mind?” sounds very similar to Twitter’s “What’s happening?” But Facebook and Twitter are two very different animals, for very different reasons. I explain my perspective on the two after the jump:

Google recently confirmed Internet rumors that they are throwing their hat into the social networking ring by introducing Google Buzz. If you can overlook the awful name, Buzz will basically be incorporated into your Gmail account. According to Mashable’s initial details, there will be a tab labeled “Buzz” right underneath your Inbox. It will provide links to Google-owned Picasa and YouTube along with Flickr and Twitter (Facebook was left out of the initial report; not sure if it’s incorporated or not).
Todd Jackson, product manager for Google Buzz, called it “an entire new world within Gmail.” (more…)

(Author’s note: I’ve loved and have been a member of Facebook since June 2005. Facebook is an excellent way to keep up with friends and network with professionals. It’s also a great tool for businesses to use to communicate with several target audiences at one time. But I haven’t been happy with Facebook’s swift change in stance toward privacy and security, and that is what this letter details. I also explain how you can set your privacy settings after the break.)
Dear Facebook,
Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. What happened to you? What’s happened to us? When I first started seeing you, I was still in college. You promised me exclusivity, and in return I shared important information and intriguing facts about me that hardly anyone knew at the time, including the fact that I truly believe “The Great Gatsby” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic” are two of the greatest books of all time.
After some time of that, you began sneaking around. My friends told me that you were flirting with the idea of letting high school students join us. What?!? These were high school students. I thought you and I were beyond that. But you let high school students on, and I eventually became used to that fact. I still loved you, no matter how you treated me.
Once I got used to that (and almost forgot about it, actually), you threw another curveball my way. I was told that you were going to see anyone over the age of 13. Anyone. What happened to the exclusivity? I felt like you were changing, yet I had stayed the same. I tried to break up with you then, but you lured me back. We had so many mutual friends, and you always managed to come up in conversations. How could I not stay away from you? (more…)

We recently designed, developed and launched a new app to serve as the new landing page for Wild Veggie’s Facebook page. We continued the same look and feel as in the SouperDrink.com, and the online and traditional advertising. This gives us the opportunity to quickly familiarize our visitors with the Wild Veggie brand. (more…)
