We text (and shop and go on Facebook) during classes and when we’re on dates. My students tell me about an important new skill: it involves maintaining eye contact with someone while you text someone else; it’s hard, but it can be done.

3 Steps to an Effective Social Media Strategy
Do you have a social media strategy for your business yet? If you don’t, you could be missing out on game-changing results. According to the 2011 Social Media Marketing Industry Report , 78% of marketers saw increased traffic with just six hours a week invested in social media. The businesses that do social media marketing well will see even bigger wins in 2012, as the gap between who “gets it” and who doesn’t grows wider by the minute. The good news? You don’t need to be everything to everyone anymore.

Ordering Pizza Online Finally Simplified
Back in the day when the web was born, the first thing everyone thought it would be good for, aside from porn, was ordering pizza. Today, porn still rules the internet and you can still order a pizza online. But things have gotten more sophisticated. And simpler.
French startup Jolicloud has tried on various suits as a cloud-desktop -OS -cum- netbook which aimed to let you access all of your social networks and media storage services (like Flickr) through one slick interface. Facebook and Twitter became icons inside Joli OS — which evokes the look of Chrome OS on a Google Chromebook. Joli OS has a dedicated community of users, but the company recently decided to shift its efforts towards producing a new kind of platform. "Jolicloud Me" launches in beta today and is essentially a repository of all the articles you've shared, photos you've uploaded, songs you've posted, and documents you've shared across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, and more to come.
