Looking to Stand on the Shoulders of Giants
All things internet and web
For most, the Volkswagen Commercial was the best Superbowl Commercial this year and I cannot argue with them. The best part of the commercial was the kid that played. Well recent footage has been released of a behind the scenes look at this kid in action.
Here is the original commercial:

I have a ton of ideas that involve Foursquare.
I think it could be huge down the road if more people, business, and yes even churches start to use its power.
Competition is a powerful thing. Ask any guy (and even you girls) that play Call of Duty online why they play? I would go as far to say that they play more for the competition of gaining more rank and to get better prestige. Its the power of identity and being able to say you are better then someone else. Foursquare is a tool that almost promotes that in some way or another, at least the competition piece. Check this info-graph below and see the potential and the growth over the last year.
I know its early in the year to already start the “greatest of” type post. But As I was listening to what I deem the greatest album (more on that later) of all time I started to wonder what others would say and if you have even thought about which album you would select.
What is the greatest album of all time?
Last week I sent out a tweet letting everyone know that I was a new member of the Beats by Dre community.
I found a great deal on the internet and wanted to share with you how I got the deal as well as my overall impression of the headphones.
Check out my review below:

Hashtags are a mystery to me.
As twitter defines a hashtag:
The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages
Twitter gives the use for a hashtag as well:
People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search
The reason for the mystery is not the meaning of what a hashtag is or even what it is about, but how people use hashtags. I have decided today to run some sort of thrown together experiment of finding out exactly how powerful, meaningful, and necessary a hashtag really is.
Now I know at conferences a lot of people find them very valuable, I know I do. But outside of a conference how often do you find yourself looking at hashtags? I see a lot of people use a ton of hashtags to try and make a joke, make a point, or just tag their material but I wonder what the return on this tagging does for the tweet.
So it is your turn to let us all know. Answer these questions below to join in on this little experiment/survey:

Yes, today is the day the Civil Wars take over. Their new album “Barton Hollow” is out today and it could be an early favorite for album of the year (yes, already saying this. Mark my words).
So enjoy my previous favorite Civil Wars song and then go and enjoy their first album released today here for free
Today is an exciting day. It is a day that has been in anticipation the first time I listened to this band or duo sing together. Today is the day the Civil Wars release their much anticipated first full length album “Barton Hallow“.
I have talked about this band here and here and probably exhausted this subject and band but you seriously need to check them out today. The best part is todays Music Tuesday is their new album the Civil Wars. So listen here all day for free then go and buy.
