I have had a LOT of feedback about my article about why I deleted by pinboards because of Pinterest’s Terms of Use. Everything from fear to curiosity to anger. In case you haven’t read my earlier articles, I’m actually very impressed with Pinterest and their approach to social sharing. I even took a stance that Pinterest may be the next raging social network and edge Google+ further to the back-burner.

If you are a blogger or content creator, you REALLY should read the Pinterest terms of use I know I’m going to be in the minority, here, but I’m not thrilled about Pinterest right now. If you have been living under a rock and don’t know what Pinterest is, check out my article on why Pinterest might be able to beat Google+ as the next “big” social network.

With the rollout of the new Facebook timeline to most users, there has been a lot of confusion about how you used to do things in Facebook and how you do them now. For me, one of the most confusing has been the organization of photos. Because I upload a lot of photos to Facebook from my phone, every photo lands in my “Mobile Uploads” folder (also known as an album) by default.

I am a sucker for a challenge…almost to a fault. I just can’t walk away from a good opportunity to wrap my brain around a problem. Just ask anyone who knows me, the easiest way to get me to solve a problem is to say something like “you can’t do that” or “everyone else has tried and no one has figured it out” To me, that’s like throwing down the gauntlet and daring me to find a solution.

"Spring" via promanex on Flickr under creative commons license. Ahhhh Spring! The flowers are blooming, the trees are budding, and there’s a sense of renewal in the air. But with Spring also brings with it the need to do Spring cleaning. For our cars, we wash off the grime and road salt that has built up over the last few months. For our houses, we clean the windows, air out the house, get the old leaves out of the flower beds, and get the yard prepped for growth.

I know it’s not directly related to social media, but I’m amazed by the number of people out there that complain about the slow speed of their computers who have never defragmented their hard drive. As the resident tech guy with my family and friends, they often ask me why their computers run slow and when I ask them the last time they defragmented, the response is generally “What?
