Everybody agrees that brands have to be more friendly and possibly human on Social Media. This means tearing down the high walls that large corporates love to build and open them selves up for lots of criticism. It goes without saying that this is probably the hardest thing to do.

The following is my attempt at explaining Twitter under 140 chars : Twitter, is a text based social network. Users can broadcast their status or have 1 on 1 conversations. Messages are ...
iOS6 the latest Mobile OS from Apple Inc., has received positive and negative feedback for many of its features. However there have been a few hidden gems in iOS6 that have been over-looked. Thought I'd do justice to them, since they make a world of difference to me.

It is sad that each ...

Social Media isn't a complicated Science, despite the extremely complicated metrics out there to measure the success of it. I'm against people writing rule books, defining 'this is Social Media' and 'not that' and generally over complicating it. That being said, if there ever was one rule I'd want all those engaging in Social Media to follow, it would be..
