The biggest threat that faces NBC every other year during the Olympics is: Spoilers. And with social media abuzz at every medal and record breaking attempt, it makes it hard for NBC to get people in front of their TVs for their primetime coverage. But PyeongChang 2018 is going to even the playing field for …
Following the Rolling Stone article from a few months ago (which I discussed here), it’s important to look at other things that are affected by our need for everything NOW. Everyone likes to get their information spoon fed to them as fast as possible, and if a news site doesn’t get up the story fast, …
Time for Twitter to remove the eggs. What’s that? You don’t know what a Twitter egg is? Well, it’s the users that don’t have verification or a picture and stand behind these anonymous accounts with nothing but an egg as their profile. The problem is that these are the very people that bully others on social …

Some people use apps or websites that keep track of who “Follows and Unfollows” them on Twitter or Facebook. Now I’m not gonna lie, I’ve signed up for these in the past, and quickly unsubscribed after realizing how dumb it is. Do we really care who follows us and who doesn’t (on a minor level)? …
I have a question that maybe some of my lawyer friends could answer. While watching the NHL Playoffs the other day, they ran an ad asking you to send it your videos to them of you and your friends/family celebrating the games and they might use them on-air. Among the disclaimers on the bottom of …
May 5, 2014. 11 months ago. The day I quit Facebook, for what would turn out to be a 110 day vacation from it. During that time period I started up this blog, for a way to continue to voice my thoughts. Posting daily since then has been a fun task and has now reached …
