Twitter has been great this week! I woke up (kinda late) this morning, grouchy and pissed off. Logged onto Twitter and what did I see? ?uestlove of The Roots shouted out my other blog, VerySmartBrothas.com, on Twitter (he has over 1.3M followers)! And yesterday? I got a DM (private direct message) from Jaleel White. Yes, [...]

I guess the haters got a big dose of Haterade this week because Heather was invited to go to the White House for the Workplace Flexibility forum. Me?

Last Monday I had the honor of sitting on a panel for the Introduction to Online Communities class for the Online Communities program at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
