Blog post ideas
Have you ever had a bloggers block? I have. I'm currently having one. To get over with it I went to search for inspiration. Here's a wrap up of what I found.

Things blogging has taught me
Blogging as well as tweeting can be used for many things. Spreading the word of something, branding, ego tripping, being a jerk towards others and so forth. At the same time it's of course also a learning experience for the blogger (or tweeter) herself. And it can be pretty interesting. So I started to think what blogging has taught me. There are several things, and the following represents just a few of them. However these right now feel like the most important lessons blogging and tweeting has given me. Nevermind the spills Typos and little mistakes happen. As long as it's not hurtin...
Pin it!
Everyone talks about Pinterest. So much it took me a while to decide if I'd like to write about it myself. And I know there are people who are so incredibly annoyed by all the fuzz. Pinterest is kind of an online scrapbook. User can create boards and "pin" images found all over the web on them. Users can also follow each other, or follow certain boards by another pinner. By following you'll be informed about new pins by these users and can repin (pin them again on your own boards) or like them. Pins, boards and pinners can also be searched in different ways. There are bunch of board cate...
Hey Twitter, where do my @replies go?
During the past couple of months I've now and then noticed some of the @replies and @mentions I've received don't show up on my Twitter account. I know they exist, cause I've seen them on the "sender's" feed. I just don't know about them until I go and check the feed. For instance yesterday I had received this reply. Didn't know about it until I went to see their feed. It's not listed amongst my @ interactions. I do get spam replies though. By the way, if you do get spam on Twitter (like everyone else does), remember to always report and block the spammer. If you don't know how, just ask...
Social Media Tip 13: Set goals, create tasks
In time to time it's easy to sink into thinking what the heck is the point of all this. Why am I sharing where I am or what I'm doing, and why am I writing these blog posts. Does anyone even care about my tweets or what I liked? It's frustrating. The frustration may lead to long and unnecessary hiatuses or even quitting. Setting goals and creating simple tasks is one way out of this situation. Think about what you want to accomplish. A new job, perhaps. Getting noticed. Making sure everyone else will learn about this-and-that-very-important-issue. Selling something, gaining more customer...
Social Media Tip 12: Refresh
When was the last time you blogged? Or when did you tweet something you were really proud about? How's your Facebook page doing? What's going on with your any other social media accounts? At some point you may hit the wall at one or all parts of your online life. If you start to feel bored of your own content do what I'm currently doing: Freshen it up. Do a complete or a partial makeover for your social media identity. Rebranding is quite okay. It is most likely lots of work and maybe even a bit dangerous. However if the your brand is not doing extremely great and if it feels dull to yours...
Ave Maria
On the radio a man was telling about his Christmas Eve plans. Beer and Facebook. And on sunday he’ll clean off the silly drunk messages. Then the song he wished for was put on. Ave Maria. When Facebook finally got the Timeline out and about, Finns started to report how their private messages were leaking to public. They weren’t, but that’s what they thought. Back in time wall was being used for conversations, more or less personal. Perhaps some of us didn't know they were visible to all their friends. Seeing these conversations on their Timelines made some of the users sure Facebook was...
