We have spotted the home page bug

August 27, 2009/14.33

Dear readers, we realize that the home page is not displaying properly. Please know we are working on this. The error seems to lie with Google’s Feedburner service, which is displaying the actual code, rather than the text and images that the code represents. A complaint has been filed with Google, which has recently moved […]

Twitter ratios of the rich, famous or arrogant

May 2, 2009/1.28

[Cross-posted] If a Twitter presence is de rigueur in 2009, then who is using it as a tool for generating dialogue and connecting with stakeholders?    A few weeks back, I posted my top 10 reasons for following someone on Twitter.

Changes coming to the Lucire forum

November 10, 2008/9.34

Meghan McCain humanizes her Dad’s campaign

October 23, 2008/6.06
