Hey! remember that one time that the awesome Social Crush came to Columbia? I’ve got my wrap-up here. Check it out.

With everyone talking about electric cars, I decided it would be a good idea to map out all Electric Charging Stations in South Carolina.

There’s another interesting, somewhat overlooked feature of the Google+ platform that could ultimately benefit both Google and advertisers: Check-ins. As more users push towards using mobile first, this is quickly becoming a burgeoning area for opportunity among small business owners.

Amidst all the talk of recent hacks, I decided that it would be time to use Google’s new two-step verification process for my account.

Using Google’s new two-step process will make it harder to access your account if someone guesses or tries to steal your password. This extra layer of security prevents someone from completely hijacking your account.

Following on the heels of yesterday’s post, I thought it would be interesting to see how Facebook pages handles custom status updates and sharing links.

Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could share a link or status update with only a certain group of people or friends without sharing it with everyone? Now with facebook’s custom privacy options, you can.

In my presentation last night to Social Media Columbia, I discussed how bloggers can legally choose images for their sites. We also discussed the best options for hosting content, ie: self hosting, using a Content Delivery Network, Amazon’s S3 buckets or a third party service such as flickr.
