  • For our third tapchat, I would like to make all of you the stars. If you are already active on Tapiture, make sure you tweet me your favorite Taps. They can be your favorite in Architecture, Entertainment, Pets, Fashion, Cars, or Art. Basically keep it clean and we will share them with the rest of the community on twitter. If you are new to the community, be sure to create a collection or two. This will be a great way to get to know each other as well as get a feel for what the Tapiture Community has to offer. Just be sure to tweet them to @teeco71 during our half hour time slot on Wednesday at 6PM PST (9PM EST) and use the hashtag #tapchat. 0May 20, 2013

  • Back in January I wrote about how LinkedIn was the patron saint of the also-ran social network with slower growth and fewer users, but hopefully a greater value proposition for each of them. I mentioned Path, Nextdoor, and Foursquare as examples, but I missed a big one: Klout.0May 8, 2013

  • New Year's Eve always brings about reflection and review of the past year as well as hope for the coming year. To be perfectly honest, at the beginning of 2012 I was lost... lost, lost, lost. I didn't really show it but I was off track for a bit (a story for another time). Let's just say while going over my year, I realized I had learned quite a bit about myself and a few others. Thank goodness for good friends who come to visit even from far away to snap you out of your own mess when you need it most and for good Sushi & Wine :)

  • I can't believe the NOH8 Campaign has been around for four years already and yet, I sometimes can't remember what it was like before it existed. I have been involved almost since the very beginning. For me, it was always about the sense of community, taking a stand for others, as well as myself. It has been a bit empowering to realize that my voice matters and the conversations I have been able to be a part of just by my involvement is priceless. Before that time, I thought I didn't matter much and I even thought I needed to deal with certain issues on my own.

  • What can one say about Alyssa Milano? Actually, there is so much to say that there aren't enough words! Personally, I have learned so much about Twitter and the world around us from her. Alyssa is sweet, kind, knowledgeable, talented, and now a new mom! She is part of a very rare breed of young actors who has stayed off the path that many take. Instead of running around partying and building her ego, Alyssa has immersed herself in causes and jumped right in to help others.

    Happy Birthday Alyssa Milano! 2012

  • I have pretty much had an appointment to see Holly Marie Combs since I was a teenager. Picket Fences, Charmed, TV movies, Pretty Little Liars. All great TV. I can honestly say that I saw every episode of Charmed on the original air-date, even if I had to have people to my house for dinner just so I could control the TV. Being able to communicate with her on Twitter was an honor and a treat for me and then getting to meet her in person has just been something I sometimes can't believe.
