How many social networking profiles do you have? I have five … I think …. but maybe more. The two I use the most are FaceBook (personal) and Twitter (professional). I also have profiles on MySpace, BrightFuse, LinkedIn, Yammer … so that’s six … but I don’t visit them every day and can’t tell you the last time I’ve reviewed [...]

The plights and sometimes pleasure of e-mail »

Today I’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with my work e-mail. Specifically organizing it. And more honestly, the relationship had much more hate than love in it.

The Web at work »

Internet access and the workplace continues to be a hot debate topic. As more workers are connected to the Internet and to several platforms (like Twitter and Facebook), technology is becoming a priority in the workplace.
A few recent news items about using the Internet at work piqued my interest.
