I really like this piece titled “Four Reasons to Shut Up on Twitter,” and actually read the entire iMediaConnections piece despite the need to advance pages several times to read it all. Madhuri Shekar (a Sony pictures intern) provides some wisdom (some from a 140 conference) about brand best and worst-practices of Twitter, and some…
I was on Hulu this morning looking for the classic Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken “Need More Cowbell” skit. I felt tricked when I was taken to “Funny or Die,” where I found amateur content. Then I got curious about how an amateur got on Hulu. Sure enough two of my videos snuck onto Hulu…
