Social Media and Brand Reputation…

Lianne — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 10:09:51 +0000

The last article I wrote here incited several “death threats” because I called Lil’ Wayne a punk for wanting “protection” while he did his prison bid. I still stand behind what I said wholeheartedly, but I had to take a break nonetheless. I am a social media consultant, that is what I do….but I am [...]

Lianne — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:42:26 +0000

I watched the Grammys last night and as much as I loved the show, when did they start being performance based and not awards based?

iWhat?? That’s Right, iPad People….

Lianne — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:37:56 +0000

Although I think the same is unbelievably silly [Mashable: Mad TV 2006] I cannot deny that this thing makes great sense for me. When I travel I use my 13″ MacBook and I have always jumped on hotspots. Well I was considering getting an AirCard until I saw the price ($69/month…ouch). Today when the iPad [...]
