We heard about HootSuite a few months ago from a good friend of ours, David Cacioppo, over at emfluence.  HootSuite is a status update aggregator.  What does that mean?  Let’s assume you have an account on LinkedIn, a Facebook Fan Page, and a Twitter account.  Then let’s assume that you would like to be able to […]

Watch the Avatar Movie Trailer in HD at YouTube.com. Everybody is talking about the new James Cameron movie “Avatar”, and I can’t believe that it took me 4 weekends to see when I am normally up to speed on new movies.  I just saw Avatar in the AMC 30 IMAX in 3D this weekend.  I can summarize this […]
