When the big ex and I broke up in 2009, I was just starting to transition from account executive to community manager; so while social media was relatively new to my professional life I was already deeply involved in the space on a personal level.

When NOT to Tweet…
This morning I woke up, hit snooze, wandered to the shower 10 minutes later than I needed to and eventually made it out the door; a completely mundane morning that I was able to enjoy because many years ago men and women put on uniforms and fought for what they believed in. As a social media strategist/community manager/citizen of the…

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry
Is it just me or do we all apologize too damn much?

I’m one of…
