MTV Jobs
The job scene is changing rapidly in front of our eyes and MTV gives us a shining example of the changing landscape. I was watching MTV and Sway did a segment on hiring a social media manager. If you are looking for a job inspired by this millennium, explore MTV Networks Job Twitter feed or […]

Mac users are looking for a creative ingredient to spark your writing? If so, then you need to discover the program called Scrivener.

Blippy Makes Credit Social
How far can social networking go, how about into your wallet? Blippy makes credit card transactions social. I was reading a recent article about Blippy and I was floored by this next level of social networking. The website asks, “What are your friends buying?” Register for an account, enter your credit card info (which is […]

The website insinuates that youth can no longer post everything happening in their lives on Facebook because now […]
