If you don't know what Foursquare is you are not alone. There are a little more than 3 million users currently on Foursquare. Now that is quite a jump from the 725,000 users in March , but it is still quite short of the 500 million users on Facebook. What is Foursquare ? Or the Crunked badge - where you check in at 4 stops in one night.

Over the past couple of months I have gotten into blogging quite a bit. During that time I have learned a lot about the blogging world and what I need to do. For example, you want to blog on a regular basis: once a week, twice a week - whatever your schedule, try to keep it consistent. One key tool that can be very useful is the TrackBack. Travis.

Over the past two weeks I have witnessed quite possibly the fastest destruction of one of the best brands in all of history - the fall of the Tiger. As Bill Simmons at ESPN put it: it transformed our collective perception of a famous person and made us re-evaluate every opinion we had about him Your brand is everything.

One of the toughest parts about communication is knowing what you do right and what you do wrong. Working with a speech coach is important and can help you improve - but if you really want to see what you are doing there is a simple step -- use a video camera. Have someone run the video camera instead of having it in a stationary spot.

I have essentially stopped going to facebook on a regular basis. check things when I get a message sent to me. Once I'm done with that message I might spend a minute looking at things, but then I leave. For me, facebook has become an overgrown blob of applications that take up way too much of my time. If I was still in college, maybe. Travis.

Most people do not really think about design and designers, let alone think of themselves as designers. But what, if anything, can regular people — teachers, students, business people of all types — learn from designers and from thinking like a designer? And what of more specialized professions? believe there is. 1) Embrace constraints.

Presenting while people are tweeting is challenging – but also adds a new dimension to the presentation experience for your audience.
