Social Media And The New Agent.

Social Media And The New Agent.

Social media blah blah blah. “Hi, my name is Matt, and I’m a Social Media guru.” I’m going to start using that in conversation. Everyday. With strangers. I might as well, everyone else seems to be doing it these days. You’re sick of it, you say? Why would that be? Perhaps because the people peddling their wares are about as ...

Flickr + Twitter = SnapTweet.com

Flickr + Twitter = SnapTweet.com

My Old Complaint A major complaint I’ve had about Twitter is that although you can have your blog automatically load to your Twitter stream automatically, Flickr has been a different story. I’m no photog like Teresa, but I have begun taking tons of pics at social outings and love putting them on Twitter. There’s finally an answer and it’s called ...
