Social Media for Teenagers: Parents/Teachers Listen Up!

I remember being a freshman in high school and wanting a sleek, flashy car when I turned 16 — something I can feel proud driving in front of school. My dad told me, being the nice dad he was, “I will match whatever you save.” I had goal, and to achieve it, I was forced to make magic happen.

Yahoo! Pipes for Social Media Marketing: A Must Try!

Doing the digital shuffle, sorting through (web) pages of news trying to find worthy information to share with devoted friends and followers on social networks, is a large part of Social Media Marketing (SMM).

Now, those old CDs (and diskettes) we used to receive in the mail have become collectors items… I kid you not.
