Tounge Wagging at Izeafest

Spreading the love
I wouldn’t be where I am in life if it wasn’t for friends. Friends have pushed me through high school, prodded me during college, and inspired me during my career after.

The Deuce: ESPN’s Memo and my Reaction
I wanted to reserve my right to an opinion until the memo came out and the guidelines were recently posted on an NBCSports.com blog (which I found via Mashable, of course). I read them a few times and they seem very similar to many corporations Social Media guidelines. What a lot of people aren’t realizing [...]
ESPN is doing it wrong…Maybe
Based on a recent tweet by ESPN anchor Ric Bucher, the interwebs exploded with cries that “ESPN is doing it wrong” when it comes to their approach with Twitter. (BTW – thanks Chris for the positive shout out!) I had the same initial reaction to the news, and started to read all the various responses [...]
Id and Ego: My Posterous Blog and No Sense of Time
I have recently decided that my Posterous blog – georgegsmithjr.posterous.com – and this blog are my Id and my Ego, respectively.
