2011 Is Not About Social Media. Prepare For The Next Wave Of Disruption.

By Tac Anderson ⋅ December 31, 2010 ⋅ View Comments

Every year I (like most people) look ahead and ask myself, “What do I want to be when I grow up?” (Okay, actually I ask myself that every few months.) This year I feel that it’s time for me (to begin) to pivot again slightly. @jhouston89 & @melissawz keep telling me I have to keep [...]

I should preface this by stating that I am not a political pundit. I am not a Republican or Democrat. I am the person at the polls who wishes I could vote for NOTA. This is probably the first time I have ever posted about politics. But that being said, I’d like to make a [...]
