You can thank the forefathers like Myspace and Email that brought a certain informality to communication (not toe mention mobile fever). All languages change over time and having grown-up with the technology that made way for radiant little phrases like GTFO and LMAO, I can't help but take an interest. Everything is prac ...

When it comes to your social media efforts, you might benefit from taking a look at what you did last year and try to gau ...

  On Thursday December 1st we interviewed the co-founder of a new site called ProSkore. Proskore is a Klout type site that gives you a score based on your social prescence.
