The first stop on the Salty Waffle tour of the ‘other networks’, as were calling them is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the fourth largest social network in the United States after Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Compared to most social networks, LinkedIn has a very business oriented feel and the profiles are simplistic and styled more like…

As you may know if you have seen my Facebook page lately, I am off with a few friends on a long-anticipated journey we vowed to make this summer. Technically I am not working this week, but this is one of those jobs where it doesn’t really feel like work and the inspiration to write…

Salvador Dali was a master of Activating Emotion. His work might make you sick to your stomach, feel lonely, or cry. When I was in Barcelona last fall I took a day trip to visit Dali’s home in the Catalan resort of Cadaqués after visiting his museum in Figueres. In the taxi ride back I couldn’t…
Last week the largest gathering of Bloggers in the world happened in NYC. 99% of attendees are women!
