May 12, 2010 Some People Are Just Not That Into You…But Others Are
I was going through my Google Reader today and I came across a post telling Justin Bieber to watch out because Greyson97 might just be the next Bieber. Have a listen: I will admit that this boy is really good but if you watch the video again, there’s one girl in the middle (with her [...]

October 20, 2009 The Fabricated You: The Inherent Problem With Personal Branding

April 8, 2009 Twitter as a Promotional Tool
I opened TweetDeck today to find a nice surprise from the UH Athletics Department. For the longest time they’ve been using Twitter like an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, pulling information off their website and placing it on Twitter.

February 26, 2009 Great Example of Using Social Media

February 25, 2009 NCAA IS Limiting The Use Of Social Media For College Athletics

February 23, 2009 It’s As Simple As Buying A Ticket…Not!
Ferd Lewis from the Honolulu Advertiser did a great job reporting on the University of Hawaii Athletic Department’s current financial situation, which isn’t good at all. Not only have they accumulated a net deficit of $5.4 million over a five-year period (the Herman Frazier Administration), Lewis reported that “UH athletic director Jim Donovan has said [...]
