I kinda like the new photostrip across the top on the new Facebook profile. But, it’s bizarre that they let me “control” which photos show up (by crossing out the ones I don’t want to show up), since a different set of photos show up depending on the visitor of your page. My set looks [...]

Soooo. I’ve been trying to work on my “writing career” slowly but surely. The latest chapter in this walk is my interview with the totally awesome Tristan Walker of FourSquare: “Square Biz: The Silicon Valley Hustle of Tristan Walker, VP of Biz Dev at FourSquare” I pitched this interview to The Atlanta Post months ago, [...]

Part of the reason has to do with the fact that I’ve BEEN HAD this hypothesis for at least 3 years now, via John Battelle’s (5 year old!) book, The Search. Does anybody read these days? I guess not.

Although it wasn’t quietly kept on my Twitter stream, yesterday was my birthday. I just wanted to take the time to thank all my followers on Twitter that sent me Happy Birthday tweets.

It’s been pretty quiet over here at LizBdotscom. I wish I could say I’ve been doing big things, but no, not really. Just trying to survive these next few weeks. Still recovering from surgery. Some days are better than others, but don’t cry for me Argentina. I bought myself a Nikon D40 with an extra [...]
My WIRED SCIENCE Facebook app has been reviewed online, and the review was stellar! You can read it here: Wired Science app gets it right — big time Not only did we get a glowing 4.5 stars out of 5, but I think the reviewer totally understood what I was going for with the application’s [...]
