Facebook ’s chat feature launched today. In my opinion, we all have PLENTY of chat and conversation options separate from Facebook and this new feature is just redundant. I already have AIM / iChat , GChat / GTalk , ooVoo , Skype , Twitter and SMS that enable me to have real-time conversations with my friends . Facebook was never about that for me. It’s a place to store and share information–including the contact information I choose to display for the conversation-enablers mentioned above. I won’t say that I’ll never use this new Facebook chat feature, but I maintain that it’s ridiculous and unnecessary.
Below is my reaction. What’s yours?

I’ve noticed now that I’m in the working world, I don’t spend a lot of time during my days thinking about the greater significance of my work and the various tasks I do. I realized this today and I wondered how many people out there consciously keep their job’s significance top of mind during the daily grind. I’ve been finding lately that I get sucked into the “doing” and I don’t step back enough and think about the “why.”
I guess I ...

As you may have seen on Twitter or heard on Utterz , I got a tattoo today. Behold:
Since people had been wrinkling noses at and asking questions about my tat before I got it, I wanted to take this opportunity to explain what it means to me. My first one (the letter A on my left foot) never required a lengthy explanation, but this one seems to baffle people. And honestly, I don’t want to have to explain the meaning of my tattoo a billion times, so if you ask me about it in...

A little creativity presented in the right way really rocks my socks. While so many of us are trying to figure out how to leverage Twitter as a business tool or how to add measurable value to the tweetversation, Dave Delaney and Tim Coyne are taking it in a different direction.
