Sure, you'll tackle that important project...just as soon as you check in with Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/YouTube/Friendfeed/Wordpress/[insert your digital distraction HERE].

If this sounds familiar (and since you're here on Facebook, it very well may), you might enjoy the article I've posted below. It discusses digita...l time wasters, and introduces add-ons that can monitor -- and even block -- you if you're spending more time than you'd intended using social media. As the article says, these solutions are the digital equivalent of dieting by locking up the fridge. Enjoy (and then, perhaps, log out!).Read More

The New York Times had a great "pre-Labor Day" article filled with tips for keeping new back-to-school computers free of malware and security threats. Actually, it's a worthwhile read for any PC user. It includes how-tos and links to free tools like Secunia PSI, which monitors all installed software programs to make su...re security patches are up-to-date. It's worth a look if you missed it the first time around!Read More

Kelly Woods Lynch -- Creative Consultant/Freelance Copywriter For small businesses, it's often hard to gauge exactly how much time is "worth" devoting to social media . . . especially since authenticity, not a speedy addition to the bottom line, is the typical reward. Here's a recent article that I think really nails the value of SM for the small business, including successful ways it can benefit a company on the local level. Hope you find it interesting!

For a small business looking to increase referrals, social media can be a powerful tool. Here are five ways small businesses can capitalize on this new form of marketing.

If you're reading this, you're on Facebook...and likely in other social media spaces, too. (Or,maybe your phone plan has length restrictions on text messages.) So, chances are you're trying to "say it all" in 140 characters or less.

With new acronyms continually added to the lexicon, it's prudent to know which ones to ...use ... and when. Here's a helpful little article on text definitions. KUTGW!Read More

As texting has gone mainstream among the over-20 set, the acronyms have only grown longer and more confusing, giving rise to the necessity of online lexicons for parents and CEOs alike.

Here is an article that gives tips and easy actions for monitori...ng and managing online reviews, in a world where "everybody's a critic." Hope you find it helpful!Read More

Kelly Woods Lynch -- Creative Consultant/Freelance Copywriter Over the past week or so, several of my friends and contacts have posted important instructions for checking privacy settings on Facebook, so as to prevent third-party applications from being able to use one's personal photos in ads appearing on the site. Here's a recent posting from the NYTimes tech pages, discussing this issue in greater detail. Hope you all find it helpful.

You can't do anything to stop unscrupulous apps on Facebook, or the ad networks many of them use to make money, other than to avoid using third-party apps.

I've come across a short-and-sweet article on basic etiquette for social media from last December's Entrepreneur. It covered communications tips and "good manners" for effective professional online networking. These old "basics" can be helpful reminders in a world measured by numbers of fans and followers, and in whic...h "conversations" are often served up 140 characters at a time. ;-) Hope you enjoy it.Read More

For the past few days, I've had the luxury of enjoying a bit of R&R - w/ beaches, bicycles, & an open schedule. One thing I *haven't* had is constant access to social media. Once I survived "tech withdrawal," I began weighing the idea of balance for my return to the real world. [Who hasn't dreamed of making "vacation k...arma" last a bit longer?] Here's a recent "time mgt" post that just may help make it possible.Read More
