So Yahoo bought Tumblr and apparently there are going to be more ads on Tumblr going forward. But of course!

Here's why we all have to get used to ads on social media...

Ever wonder how I ended up at +The Huffington Post?

It started with a blog. +Guy Kawasaki caught wind of the blog and was a big part of its early growth...

I've finally taken all the old screenshots and pieced them together into a story -- how that personal blog I started in Chicago gained a global following and prompted my move to New York. Check it out! Feel free to ask any questions too and/or share.

More Of Google Plus is Coming To Search

It won't be long now... :) This is for those of you Google Plus people who are tired of ghost town garbage, and can only shake your head at those around you, who can't seem to understand why you ♥ G+ so much... 

Check out this article in the Huffington Post by +Craig Kanalley of how what happens in your google plus account is effecting apps and search...  It's so pretty... 

With glass getting lots of awesome press.. I can't wait to see where Google is taking us next :)

Google just announced this today -- Users' activity within apps while signed into Google+ will now inform Google search of what's hot.

Thoughts?

I'm testing out the HTC First (Facebook Phone) right now, and I'm finding it REALLY interesting how it combines Facebook + Google.

I get Gmail notifications in the center of the home screen, while FB posts from friends fly in the background. I have Google Now for quick answers/help and also Chat Heads, conversations with Facebook friends, that follow you around.

It's really interesting... Wrote about it more here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-kanalley/htc-first-facebook-phone_b_3055444.html  Any questions while I have the device?

People are turning to Google+ to voice their anger about the  #Reader  shutdown and calling for it to be saved.

For the past 48 hours, it has dominated in the social network's trending topics (terms like #savereader   #savegooglereader ), high-level employees have been bombarded with comments, and G+ power users have spoken up.

Just posted about this, as well as Google's response. cc +Linda Lawrey +Mike Elgan who are quoted in the piece

Just because it's popular on Twitter doesn't mean it's popular everywhere. A reminder about the #socialmedia  bubble.

What do you think of +Google+'s move into e-commerce?

IMO it was an inevitable. This is a nice partnership and a great example of the new "Sign in with Google" button, which as you can see Fancy is really promoting -- higher than Facebook and Twitter.

From Apple to Facebook, major companies have suffered from a series of hackings recently.

Add Twitter to the mix. Two high-profile accounts compromised in back to back days.

Do we rely on social media too much? Are we vulnerable to major cybersecurity issues?
