So, last night, after a month sitting on my shelf, I started reading The Cluetrain Manifesto (ironically, I’m 10 years late getting on the Clue train), and I’m barely into the introduction and have been inspired already.
In case you haven’t read it, you should. It beautifully demonstrates the power of the Internet, how regular “consumers” [...]
Today was spent… (largely) on Twitter. Blogs were read / commented on, the site map was sent to Google, and I had a great excuse to see a friend from McGill who I haven’t seen since the summer. Not bad. But Twitter was my main priority.
I downloaded TweetDeck a couple of weeks ago, but was [...]

My preliminary research is helping me understand exactly how I should approach monitoring, I get to decide [...]
