  3. 44% of Moms surveyed by BabyCenter.com use social media for recommendations on brands and products. http://bit.ly/r8s4L
  4. Google creating an OS tightly coupled to it's Chrome browser. Didn't Microsoft get penalized for doing that?
  5. To avoid being mistaken for follower spam and blocked, please make sure I can figure out who you are from your Twitter profile.

  18. Listening to Marty Collins on Microsoft's community marketing strategy, part of which I've described here: http://bit.ly/1nxlJ #ochealth

  20. Small/Med Business owners are heavy social media users, with half using blogs, wikis, Twitter and other SM channels. http://bit.ly/Z9oNM
