2011 —a year in review, through twitter posts.
ÜberTwitter coordinates as your twitter location is passé friends. Just saying in case you overlooked to change it.
Mombo.com is a new website that recommends movies for you based on your twitter friends’ tweets. Check it out:
“Ağzı olan konuşuyor” is a Turkish proverb, which means “whoever has a mouth, talks.” I always had a hard time making sense to this saying until the arrival of Twitter and Facebook!
It looks like I’m the first one to notice the alleged Russian spy, Anna Chapman’s first tweet since her deportation!
Earlier today, I heard a news segment on NPR about the freshly deported Russian spies, and decided to look up the pretty one, Anna Chapman, on LinkedIn. Here’s my blog post on that.
Once I posted my blog entry, I also noticed her twitter username on her LinkedIn profile.
Yes, she’s on twitter: @ChapmanAnna
And as I followed her link to her twitter profile, there it was, jackpot! She had just tweeted a couple hours ago!
What’s amazing is that I was the first one the see.
Her first tweet since deportation is actually a quote by John Stuart Mill, a 19th century British philosopher and civil servant:
” There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.”
I have to say, it’s pretty deep. We’ll probably learn a little more about her, the circumstances, and “her truths” if she continues to reflect and share through twitter, which is something probably thousands are looking forward to.

Here’s an interview of Anna Chapman from February 2010 at a business conference in New York as appeared on CNN:
By the way, what do you think?
She’s pretty photogenic and pretty comfortable with the camera, isn’t she? We now have a new Mata Hari (of 21st Century)!
Who do you think will play Anna in a movie?
Femme Fatale -(pronounced /ˌfɛm fəˈtæl/ or /ˌfɛm fəˈtɑːl/; French: [fam faˈtal], with all [a]’s) - An alluring and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations.

Here’s the 10 Dos and Don’ts:
1. Don’t Be a Showoff
2. Don’t Use Poor Grammar or Spelling
3. Don’t Get Too Personal
I like this next one a lot as I have zero-tolerance for robots and absentee twitterers. I previously touched upon this in two blog posts: Why Colliding Worlds on Social Media is a “No No” and also in 3 Biggest Problems with Twitter are…
4. Don’t Auto-Tweet
It’s OK to set up tweets to roll out while you’re away from your desk, but think long and hard before you automate an entire feed to stream into your Twitter account. Users can smell a bot from miles away, and the point of Twitter is to be personally engaging more than blatantly promotional. Also, this might go without saying for the tech-savvy marketers among us, but don’t automatically DM new followers; it’s seen as spam. And never DM someone your account doesn’t also follow.
5. Don’t Leave Air in the Conversation
6. Don’t Overtweet
7. Do Shout Out to Users Who Mention You
8. Do Monitor Keywords and Competitors
9. Do Make an Informative Profile
10. Do Fish Where the Fish Are

At age 14, I became the founder and the publisher of a satire-magazine. We only published a single issue but to this day it's highly talked about. :)
I co-founded my first legit company at age 20 with a college-mate. Our first project almost put us out of business. Our second project literally put us out of business.
Fresh out of college, I spent many sleepless nights coding applications in Basic computer language. At that time I thought the telex machine was as cool and exciting of a device as computers. I still kinda think that.
For the next twenty years I worked jobs that helped me develop as a management professional and helped me travel the world.
Today, I'm a Consultant, an Entrepreneur, and a Co-Founder of Office Divvy and Palm Coast Media Online. Still a World Traveler, and the more I travel the more I realize there is to see.
You ask, "so, what are these posts?" They are odds and ends, documenting what otherwise would be just another day.
