it’s a fleeting milestone but for a geek like me it makes me smile =) we just reached our 30,000th Twitter follower and it’s kind of fitting that their bio pic is a winged lady since that was how i started, and continue to be, as an avatar i think this honour might even come [...]

About 1/3 of people claim to be “overwhelmed” by social media. Here are some thoughts on taking control.

okies, i’m waiting for the pomp and circumstance to commence any minute =) *runs to window and looks down the street* who says being OCD is wrong? =D seems like the 25k milestone should mean something (am i a cult?) some different twitter tools below to waste time maximize twitter, each image should link to [...]

i am not a big technology nut. i know some people think me as such and i am deeply flattered but it just ain’t so. i admire people that can troubleshoot and do advanced coding however, i get impatient and frustrated easily. now what i do love is the creativity that computers allow. i love doing flash [...]

i always knew i’d be number one some day. hard work, determination, persistence, and gratitude, . . . i’d like to thank all the little people, but i can’t – my nose is held up too high and i am looking to the stars! *sigh, it’s hard to be the best* what a load eh? well, [...]

second life and opensim worlds are social networks. you can form groups, have friends in a list, IM, chat, talk, share stuff and so on. they are very social networks, almost hyper social. most networks, like facebook, share specific media – photos, videos, wall posts, farmville invites, and offer instant messaging. but do avatars need [...]

Any web-based business, including Second [...]

We wrote about getting the word out with social media a few days back and, as you know, Ener is our spokesperson and estate manager extraordinaire. Although Ener would insist that estate janitor is a better title! =D There’s always little stuff to mess with (and that takes up a ton of time). From Facebook [...]

A media darling, Twitter, seems to be in everything these days.  From the newspapers to many TV shows. But it’s not new, not by internet standards. Twitter was created in 2006. Wow, three years old and just coming into the spotlight! So why does iliveisl tweet? It started out as another channel to get the [...]
