This is a two-part horror story, really …
Part I:
Some faulty circumstances left three friends and I without tickets for Coldplay’s visit to Indianapolis a few weeks ago. We’d relied on a friend who claimed to have tickets, she didn’t and we ended up concert day screwed. (Yea, overlook the gullible aspect here for me…) […]

In my last blog post, part one of three of how I’m keeping in contact with my friends this summer, I discussed my usage of the chat aggregator Digsby. In this second installment, I’m going to teach you all about another gift from the internet gods: Alert Thingy.
If you’re anything like me, you likely aren’t […]

A few things worth noting, some newer than others due to my hiatus. I encourage your comments below!
Fox’s GLEE left me intrigued. In fact, a larger number of my friends who saw the pilot say they were impressed. I’m eager to watch in the Fall. To be fair, I started to watch the OC back […]

I was hiding.
In an effort to complete my master’s thesis, I took a sabbatical from most of the outside world during most of the last semester. Sure, I caught the important news events from CNN.com or NYTimes.com. I also used The Daily Show and Colbert Report as entertainment during my dinner hours. Beyond that, I’ve […]

I’m not the type to be up on the latest technologies or absolute newest trends in the media world, so it took me a while before I even heard of the most recent media “fashion”: Twitter. My first question when I heard about Twitter was: “What is it?” From my research I discovered […]

A couple weeks ago, Microsoft’s new search, Bing, went live, replacing Live Search. Now, I’m an ardent Googler (who isn’t in this day and age?). I especially love my Gmail, Google Trends, and of course Search. But I’m always down to try out someone’s attempt at a semantic search, so I’ve been […]

For the second summer in a row, I’m spending the summer in Washington DC. Unlike last summer however, I don’t have classes and homework so I have a bunch of free time. As a result, I announced plans at the end of the spring semester to keep in close touch with my college friends […]

Well, summer’s finally here. You know what that means: beautiful sunny days; crippling allergies, and decreased media usage. Throughout the school year (or at least for this most recent semester), I was probably on my computer for 10 hours out of the day (keep in mind that I was doing a research immersion […]

So – I purchased my first Facebook ad last week. Well, my organization bought it, but you know what I mean. The process is so straight forward, it’s scary. Yet, at the same time it is overwhelming.
Like Twitter, there is a character limitation on the title and body of the ad. […]

How is Facebook able to keep up with itself? As more and more news stories come out about Facebook’s user statistics, this is a question that is really beginning to perplex me.
In February, Facebook released their numbers saying they had 175 million users. Not too shabby, I thought. Read the […]
