How to Write a Rockstar Twitter Bio. What does your Twitter bio say about you? Don't think in terms of cold, hard facts — what does it really reveal about you to others?

As we've recently discussed on Mashable, your bio is one of the major factors that people take into consideration when deciding whether or not to follow you on Twitter, but it's even more important than that. Your bio is searchable within the Twittersphere, meaning you need to think carefully about keywords. It will show up in search engine results for your name, so it has to represent the true you. It's also how you choose to present yourself to Twitter's 230 million users, so it's worth giving it some serious thought. The Bio as an Art Form Whether or not you agree with the The New York Times' rather grandiose statement that the Twitter bio is a postmodern art form, it's certainly a skill to distill the essence of your complex, multifaceted personality (or so we'd all like to think) into 160 characters.

Recycling is a buzzword and everyone from individuals to government agree that we need to do more of it. Then why is it that I always have problems finding a recycling station? Every week I reduce my waste by more than 50% by separating recyclable material from organic and non-recyclable material. It amounts to a lot of tins, bottles, paper, plastic and boxes standing in bags on my stoep, but I don’t mind as I feel it’s a non-negotiable part of living in a sustainable society. Consider this snippet taken from www.think2wice.co.za “In Cape Town we are running out of landfill (dumping) space at an alarming rate. We currently dump approximately 6 000 tons of waste every day. Examples of what can be recycled. So why is the city not making it easier for us to get rid of our recycling?

Luckily for Woodstockers there is an effective recycling depo in our neighbourhood. It's not sexy but it's efficient. Also of interest: There is ‘junk’ on sale, taken from the rubbish that people throw away. 1. Advice by locals in Cape Town | #capeAdvice. “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on.

Great #CapeAdvice in Twitter. Great #CapeAdvice in Twitter. Collection days. A Logo and Slogan for #CapeAdvice « iAmnotMany. It has become necessary to develop a logo for the popular #CapeAdvice service. True to the crowd-sourced style of building our Twitter community, I decided to farm out the opportunity to graphic designers in return for some tweet exposure.

Of course, the first preference would be to pay one professional for her/his talent, but I figured, in this way more than one could get marketing exposure to a wider clientele. Bartering of sorts. I request followers to spread the news and share the process to achieve some reciprocity. Thanks in advance. If interested: Indicate your intention to help out with a logo with a quick tweet to @iAmnotMany and tag it #logoforcapeadvice. Then, by latest deadline Monday 9 April at noon, please submit your design via email to tweet@atcapetown.co.za in simple JPEG format, after which the @CapeTown followers will be asked to vote regularly for a design via TWTpoll for one week.

Compare airline tickets online in South Africa.

BlackBerry, the enterprise phone, is often dismissed as the “other” brand within social media communities. But worldwide, BlackBerrys still outnumber iPhones, and RIM has made major strides in recent years to become more social-friendly. I use my BlackBerry not only for business, but for most of my social media. But which apps should you use? There are many social media-related apps available for BlackBerry, and it can be tough to pick only the good ones.

To cut through the others, here are my top 5 social apps for BlackBerry. 1. My clear number one choice for this list is BlackBerry Messenger, which I use almost exclusively when I travel out of the US.

You’ve heard it a lot. The key to your social dominance lies in your ability to connect with your brand influencers and get them to pass on your content and their networks just how great you are. It’s well-intentioned advice but it means nothing if you don’t know who these influencers are and how to go about identifying them. That’s the tricky part. So how do you do it? Who are these magical influencers that you should be reaching out to? Where do you look? That’s what I want to go into a bit today. But before I do, let’s back up. As a brand, why should you even care?

It betters customer service: We live in a world where all customers are not created equal. So how do you go about identifying these people so that you can reach out to them?

History[edit] Newly arrived German Texan sausage-makers, finding resistance to the sausages they used to make, have been credited with introducing the corn dog to the United States, though the serving stick came later.[1] A US patent filed in 1927, granted in 1929, for a Combined Dipping, Cooking, and Article Holding Apparatus, describes corn dogs, among other fried food impaled on a stick; it reads in part:[2][3] I have discovered that articles of food such, for instance, as wieners, boiled ham, hard boiled eggs, cheese, sliced peaches, pineapples, bananas and like fruit, and cherries, dates, figs, strawberries, etc., when impaled on sticks and dipped in batter, which includes in its ingredients a self rising flour, and then deep fried in a vegetable oil at a temperature of about 390°F., the resultant food product on a stick for a handle is a clean, wholesome and tasty refreshment.
