There used to be a handy little link on Facebook to "mute notifications" for those times you were one of the first to say congratulations to an engagement/baby/wedding/new job or when someone tagged you and their other 100 closest friends on an update etc. Then it was transitioned out for "stop notifications", which did the same thing as mute - it stopped your phone from vibrating for every other comment that happened after yours, leaving everyone able to comment at will and let others know how happy we are for them. Last week it disappeared. This had happened a few times with random Facebook updates, but ...
Stitch Fix Box Number Six
I opened my six Stitch Fix box and was SO excited! The first item I pulled out was so perfect for me. If you follow my 'style' board on Pinterest you know that I've been obsessed with interesting sweaters and have been loving side zippered items. So here is what I got: Sweet Rain Alan Cowl Neck Asymmetrical Jacket Under Skies Geena Chevron Print Belted Tunic Under Skies Manteca Colorblock Short-Sleeve Blouse RD Style Talent Colorblock Stripe Hi-Lo Sweater 41 Hawthorn Sedona Dot Print Shirtdress (more…)
Most Popular Superbowl Ads 2014 – By Hashtag Mentioned on Twitter #sb48
During the Superbowl this year I had trouble deciding which hashtag to use: #Superbowl of #SB48 and when talking about the commercials do I use #brandbowl or #adbowl and if I use those, do I still add #Superbowl? So many decisions! Luckily the brands that paid for commercials made it easy for me since 40% didn't even include a hashtag with their ads! Although, looking at how many people used the hashtags from the ads that INCLUDED them during the Superbowl, I can see why these companies wouldn't bother to include hashtags. To find out how many people used the hashtags, I used Topsy and analyzed ...
Superbowl Hashtags – What to use for #SB48
Last year I really enjoyed watching all of the Superbowl commercials and how they interacted with social media, specifically Twitter and their use of hashtags. If the Broncos weren't in the Superbowl, I'd be looking forward to just watching the commercials again, but this time I'll also be cheering on the home team! With the game fast approaching, the big question becomes, not who you are rooting for, but what hashtag will you be using? So far I've seen the following in use when people have been tweeting about game: #Superbowl #SB48 #SuperbowlSunday #Broncos #Seahawks #sbxivii #Superbowlxivii (more…)
Oreos and How They Lost the Grammy’s
Despite my hatred of The Grammy's, I still set aside time to watch it once a year. While I knew that Twitter was going to ruin the winners for me, I was still actively tweeting and watching what others were saying. This tweet stood out to me: I suppose I likely got my hopes up thinking that Oreo would have another Superbowl hit, but you never know! Unfortunately I had an hour to wait (this tweet was referring to the Grammy's on the East Coast, and we all know that the Grammy's are tape delayed for the rest of us). (more…)

Stitch Fix Box Number Three
I’ve been asked a few times if I am still getting my Stitch Fix boxes, and the answer is yes! Below are the items from my third box that arrived in October (oops, a little late on the blogging), but looks like with every box I receive, the items are getting better. Not only do they seem a bit more tailored to my style, but the fit is getting better as well. Stitch Fix takes my feedback seriously!
So here is what I got:
Collective Concepts Whistler Pleat and Lace Panel Tank
Daniel Rainn Ashlee Floral Print Swiss Dot Blouse
41Hawthorn Brentwood Jersey Stripe Tiered Top
41Hawthorn Moni Stud Detailed 34 Sleeve Blouse
Pink Martini Felix Zig Zag Drape Front-Tie Waist Cardigan
How to Create a Pinterest Map Board
Pinterest just released a cool new feature and collaboration with Foursquare: Mapped Boards. They are pitching it as a great way to plan or pin pictures from a trip you took, but I immediately thought of music. The first board I created? Concert venues in Colorado. Here's how you go about creating a mapped board: When I logged in last night I was prompted to create one with this banner: (more…)
How to Hide Spam Using Tweetdeck
For an event such as #DF13, I expect you will have to periodically add more and more phrases throughout the day, but trust me, this helps keep your stream a bit cleaner so you can follow along just like if you were there at Moscone!
How to Use Twitter’s New Custom Timeline Feature
Earlier today Twitter released a new feature for their Tweetdeck users: Custom Timelines. What exactly is it? It can be whatever you want! Instead of creating a list of people to follow, you can curate a list of tweets on a given subject and instead of favoriting tweets after following a conference hashtag, you can add them a list to come back to later, or embed on your site. You can also curate a list of tweeted testimonials for use on an ecommerce site instead of embedding each tweet separately. I also like the idea of using it as a favorites list, but now you can separate ...
