LinkedIn: a case study for quality over quantity
When it comes to Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, I’m not too choosy with accepting followers. They serve different purposes- and to be honest, I’ve followed Instagram accounts for reasons as thin as them being positive. But when it comes to LinkedIn, there’s a case for exclusivity. Like making a recommendation for someone (the old schooled […]
Mindy loves her McDonalds
There’s a multi faceted brilliance to McDonald’s new ad featuring Mindy Kaling – for one it took me a minute to realize it wasn’t an ad for Coke or for Google. If you examine the details, her bright yellow dress against the red background is revealing. And for another, it’s an organic fit- it fits […]

The tagline in Spanish says “Let’s change the game” – the message is certainly universal!

Fortunately, Netflix’s gift from the TV-gods this thanksgiving gave us the […]

Presumably, you’ll stock up on coffee, junk food, and sweats for a marathon viewing session post-Thanksgiving. Earlier this year, Netflix came out with Fuller House, Abc […]
West of Tree Hill
In 2003, the world looked very different – for starters, no one had heard of Facebook, President George Bush was in power, and popular enough that he went on to win a second term, and Justin Timberlake was in his infancy as a solo artist. There was also some damn good new television if you were in […]
