It’s difficult to make a blanket statement regarding businesses are doing enough to keep information secure. I think the answer is some are and some aren’t. In my experience one of two things tend to happen. Either budget delays upgrades in technology that would increase security or a new tech, platform, or system is purchased but the staff is not…[Read more]

I use Uber often when I’m in Chicago or NY. I’ve had very good experiences from the short wait time and pleasant drivers, no waiting for my credit card to process or cash exchange is great too. I do have some coworkers who have experienced some ‘rate jacking’ in NY. Essentially when it’s raining they saw the price for a trip go significantly up…[Read more]

Nice points Kelly. I agree from a financial standpoint Airbnb must hold secure information, people are not going to offer their credit card numbers to individual renters. For the review system I wonder if Airbnb could facilitate something similar to Ebay where there are five categories one can rate between 1-5 stars (fast shipping, communication,…[Read more]

I’m thinking about switching to FitBit too. I have a Nike Fuelband. It’s okay but I’m not convinced their algorithm for measuring fuel points is all that accurate. I can get very different readings doing the same workout.

The majority of Twitter users don’t post much. When I’m speaking at a conference or evening doing a social media seminar there’s almost always one person who says something to the effect of “I have no interest in telling people what I ate for breakfast”. I always try to stress using it as an aggregate for information. Not only can you follow your…[Read more]

The Hootsuite app is fantastic for anyone managing multiple social networks at the same time. You can read content and post from all of your networks, schedule content to any of them, and set up search streams to aggregate content. In my last job it was an absolute savior (managing social media for Herman Miller). With the Enterprise version you…[Read more]
