Since in my Being There presentation I blabbed about being “open” and looking at new tools from the “inside” I am trying my best to hold those attitudes while looking at what is becoming the juggernaut of Facebook. I’m feeling a bit slow to warm to it and looking for some heat. Facebook just seems […]
This story is old news if you followed my trail last month through Australia.
