APPLE TRIES TO KILL STEVE JOBS STORY IN SUNDAY TIMES

“Apple hates personality stuff and press intrusion. ‘We want to discourage profiles’. Strong words from an Apple PR. Apparently Apple didn’t want the Sunday Times to publish the 4000 word plus profile for the fact that it may reveal more about jobs past, present, and future than the company is willing to disclose.

OMG- SO I FOUND THIS AWSOME SLIDESHARE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA!

This is a 2009 must have! Ok I realize that maybe, just maybe, I’m a little over excited about 1 simple Slideshare presentation yet again covering the topic of social media.

Facebook – Short & Sweet

Teens Don’t Tweet

This is a topic that has been in rotation for quite a while now. And you know what, I think it’s kinda true.

And the thing is, I’m not [...]
