“It's time to stop hiding behind brands, corporate policies or the way things used to be. Evolve. Get better. Let's learn from each other. It's called the Collaboration Revolution. Welcome to the Relationship Age.” - Tyler Hurst

Celebs & Twitter A-Listers don’t give a shit about you

Read that headline again. Once more. Guy Kawasaki doesn't care about you, Diddy doesn't care about you and Britney Spears sure as hell doesn't care about you. Please STOP talking about them. We know social media is filled with people looking to gain followers. We know there are tons of real-life celebs ...

Past, present and future of journalism

Name one industry that lasted for 350 years. Nothing? Newspapers. And now they're dying and we're supposed to care that they didn't change with the time. We're supposed to treat the lack of a printed paper as a bad thing, rather than an opportunity to reinvent the way people get their news. Bill Simmons ...

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, this is wrong

This is not an abortion debate. This is about the right way to do something. If you have a problem with a company like Planned Parenthood, protest them. Ask them to change, but don't get shady. Lila is shady. If you're going to protest Planned Parenthood, DON'T do it like this. Don't ...

Are you on Twitter?

Had a fantastic exchange with an elderly couple while riding my bike home from Boxer's Men's Salon this morning. They were standing next to the ticket machine, reading a sign about the Metro cards and looked somewhat curious, so I stop and asked them if they needed help. They were good, ...

Video done right!

If you're going to post a video blog, this is way to do it. Nice work, Teel! Great breakdown, too. Makes me want to buy his stuff, if only because he knows what he's doing. Arkayne = window.Arkayne || {}; Arkayne.baseurl = 'http://www.arkayne.com'; Arkayne.go = function(e, a, view, cid, gid) { ...

Video blogging can be great, unless…

Every time I see something like this, my faith in the marketing industry dies a little bit. I can't tell if the Bad Pitch Blog posted this ironically, but damn. Yes, I understand he might not have necessarily been talking about video blogging, but wow. If you're going to shoot video of ...

Now THAT’S a bromance

Matthew Berry, wow, just wow. I'm not sure if you're a fan of A-Roid or against him. Are you puffing out your cheeks or kissing yourself? Arkayne = window.Arkayne || {}; Arkayne.baseurl = 'http://www.arkayne.com'; Arkayne.go = function(e, a, view, cid, gid) { var id = a.getAttribute('id'); var orig ...

I’m just a sensitive man…

I'm not going to bother explaining this, nothing can really justify this image. I hope that men don't end up thinking this is okay. This would be the BAD qualities of feminism, people. Special thanks to @thedirtyblonde and @zenzino, this was completely their fault. Oh, and Laurel. Arkayne = window.Arkayne || {}; Arkayne.baseurl ...

Too many feminists are cultists

Sure, I know ALL feminists aren't cruel, hatred-filled people who do nothing but attack their detractors, but that's the impression far too many of us get. Feministing seems like a site filled with angry people looking to start fights and insult others. Marc, one of the bloggers on the site, has ...

Don’t become irrelevant

People say newspapers are dying. The news tells us that the US auto industry needs money. Banks are on their way out, too. Is it the economy? Is it advancing technology? Is it the lack of demand? No, no and no. These business leaders were STUPID. They lacked the foresight to adapt ...

100 people and art

Art is a gift. It changes the giver AND the recipient. But art, like a a true straight line, doesn't actually EXIST. All we can see is the physical representation of the artist's true vision of the world. And for this, we should all be grateful. I've purchased ONE piece of art ...

What revolution?

So you say you want a revolution...yet you have no idea what the word means. According to Scott Dadich, the creative director of Wired, "there's a revolution in the way ppl consume journalism." WHAT? Are readers demanding that journalism change? Do you remember asking? The way we consume media is EVOLVING and ...

Make me proud

My dad is a 61-year-old safety trainer and salesman. He's owned his own business, helped raise three kids and has been in the same house since 1981. He's the hardest-working person I know, is never late and hasn't ever given up in the 30 years I've been alive. This past August, ...

Going bare

We wear expensive shoes because we're told they protect our feet. We wear certain styles of clothing because we're told we'll be accepted if we do. We act a certain way in order to fit in. All of these act as barriers to what's really there. Similar to force-feedback on any ...

Context

This is the first picture I'd ever seen of Sunny Thaper. I assumed he tweeted from there and, having never been to Gangplank at the time, had no one to ask. Since this was the only image I had associated with him, I thought of it every time I saw a ...
