One of my readers once wrote, “I’m starting to think you find these amazing images and then write your posts around them—they’re so perfect!” Nope, that’s not how I do it, but the images are really something.

genevangelist 6 Comments

Some people swear by Twitter; that it is the only place for them when using social media to interact with others. Still others will only use Facebook or LinkedIn for interacting and connecting. And quite a few more folks are proponents of their blogs, RSS feeds, Flickr, social bookmarks and many other social networking sites. But how about using a service that aggregates all of these in real-time in one easy-to-use stream that provides a more comprehensive interaction with your followers and community?
