Let’s start the year with a quick report on a survey released over the holidays wich you might have missed (the study, not the holidays – hope you had great ones!). It comes from InSites Consulting via eMarketer and the report begins with the understatement of the year (which at this point is pretty easy to be). The topic is social media, something that as we enter 2012 is not a “what” but a “how” issue for most businesses. But let’s start at the beginning. Continue reading

I logged in this morning and while I’ll admit I’m not the brightest guy in the world, I was thoroughly confused.

For those of you struggling to make sense of the new layout, Gizmodo did a nice job color-coding everything in a cheat sheet.
