Social Icons: You and the Internet Are Using Them Wrong.

  • 30 Jul, 2013

Take a moment and check the social icons on your website. Do they match the ones below? Exactly? Probably not.

Most are pretty cool too, but they are violating the brand guidelines outlined by the individual social network. […]

Are hashtags on Facebook actually useful? Will they catch on?

  • 18 Jul, 2013

Now that Facebook hashtags, everyone is on board with using hashtags to let users organize content. But is it actually useful? Or is it a spammers paradise?

Turning Twitter.com into a nice standalone app with inline images.

archiving tweets

How many times have you shared something on Twitter and then tried to find that tweet again a week or two later? But you couldn’t. Happens to me all the time.
