The Collective: Happy Birthday Twitter!
http://lholdsworth.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-birthday-twitter.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Not that any of us haven't had our full share of Twitter by now (cough cough), but, hey, it's rude not to say Happy Birthday to an old friend. Five years ago on March 21, Jack Dorsey (@Jack) posted his first tweet: "just setting up my twttr." Five years later, Twitter now has a market value of $8-10 million, has a reported user account of 572,000 on March 12, 2011 and a mobile user presence of 182%. Not too shabby for a 5-year-old huh?

Thursday, February 24, 2011. If you are anything like me, you are overwhelmed with all of the social media sites that everyone seems to have accounts on. Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger, Facebook and now LinkedIn.how do people do it and are they all necessary? These new features, like LinkedIn Events and advertising space, seem to be.well, kind of lame. Now, introducing attendees to an event beforehand, or making the events list available for all those who have RSVP-ed is a smart tool for the LinkedIn team to b...

Monday, March 28, 2011. Guerrilla Marketing From Those Who Know It Best. Here it is. The list, that if you read, process and make your credo, will set you so far ahead of your competition (not to mention impress the heck out of your employers) you'll have to send out listserv email just to keep in touch. Okaythat was a little much, but you get the idea. Or maybe number twenty, Duane B. Thomas from EdYouCation is more for you? Claudia Goffan from Target Latino, ranking at number one, hits home to all PR p...

The Collective: July 2009
http://lholdsworth.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Every weekend I find myself, usually after church, at a bookstore of some kind. This Sunday it was the Barns and Noble by my parents house in Chicago. Taking books off their shelves,. Opening to a random page,. Reading a bit,. Deciding to read on or replace by another random selection,. Is the most perfect way to spend a Sunday. The gem at random this week was:. The New Yorker's compilation of. Various short stories they have featured over the years. Here is one of my favorites:.

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. 8220; What are you doing. 8221; said the tall, bald aggressive gay man. 8220; Um, what are you doing? Still staring, “I have no idea.”. This man smells like Lysol. 8220; Well, is your name on the list? 8220;No.”. 8220; What is your name. 8220;Lauren.”. 8220; How many of there are you? I slowly raise my index finger to indicate to this rather intimidating dinning attendant, that, just like my father says when affirming my individuality, there is only one of me. There were three of...

The Collective: Hyperboles, Talons and The Alot Monster
http://lholdsworth.blogspot.com/2011/04/hyperboles-talons-and-alot-monster.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. Hyperboles, Talons and The Alot Monster. Confession is good for the soul and well, I have spent enough time with all of you to feel that this is not falling on deaf ears. I have a raging obsession with the comic blog "Hyperbole and a Half.". All in one breath within the first 5 seconds of hanging out with someone. It isn't all bad. Hyperbole's author Allie Brosh has taught me a thing or two (read this as: I am trying to justify my addition). Do you care about it "alot"? For the fu...

The Collective: June 2009
http://lholdsworth.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. There is this boy and this girl. That sit on the tin roof. Right across my window. Because she flicks her cigarette ashes the right way. Wears the right shoes with her dress. She thinks he is. And likes the way he. Through smoke and on top of tin. It makes me think of you. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Today is a Sunflower. I am currently in said stage. And I am forever excited that He took me to Paris to. Teach me who I am and to show me who I want to be. Sunday, June 21, 2009. All o...
