Why bother with Facebook Pages?
Call me crazy (you won’t be the first), but I think Facebook nailed it with their updated news feeds and new functionality of their Facebook Pages.

Blogworld, emails, hotlist and more…
I’ve been enjoying the ease of posting over on the 4realz Hotlist, so if things have been light here, it’s only because it’s so fast and fun over there. Definitely check it out and consider signing up to write your own microposts. Also, the first day of BlogWorld (the REBlogWorld portion) has been a blast […]
