You might remember just a few short weeks ago I wrote a post, here on GEB, coining the phrase “Human Aggregators”, entitled “Kiss Your RSS Good-Bye”. It was about how, using an application like Tweetdeck (Though Hootsuite and others would work as well), you could essentially reduce your time commitment on reading, recommending, and even commenting on [...]

As many social media experts, gurus, and ninjas try to “monetize” social media for their clients, others are focusing simply on the connection and interaction with clients.  Dare I say “engaging”?  Engagement used to be for when 2 people decided to get married, but today it has quickly become the reason you use Twitter, Facebook, [...]

Kiss Your “RSS” Goodbye!

Lately I’ve been revisiting my goals from 2009, setting new ones for 2010 and trying to find ways to streamline my workflow to make things more efficient. One web-based trick I’ve been using to do that is Timebridge.

Timebridge gives you the power to set up a meeting without all the typical back-and-forth emails trying to [...]

A couple of months ago I was using Twitter search and discovered Deed Street.  Deed Street is an open micro-blogging platform which offers aggregation of real estate Tweets using the “^” tag on Twitter.  The site, which was launched in September, requires a user to either login using their Twitter account or to simply post [...]

Here is an excerpt from my last post…
Web 3.0 – Discussion #1 – “OMG, I Never Thought of That!” (Nov. 20th 09)
I wrote the 1st post (Nov. 2nd 09) “Web 3.0 – A Post Intended to “Define” & “Design”, here on Geek Estate Blog, because I felt it was the best venue to begin an [...]

If you get a DM that says “hey, FIND Out your IQ! here [link]” or “hi, look at this quiz [link]” — DON’T click the link.
If you’ve experienced this but already clicked the link (doh!), change your password immediately. Additionally, tell the person that the DM came from so they are aware that their Twitter [...]
