As Ali de Bold, winner with ChickAdvisor, shared with me:
These awards are fantastic for companies looking to get exposure and recognition for their company. Not only did it give us a platform to speak in front of future clients and collaborators, winning our category gave us an extra measure of credibility that continues to open doors.

Facebook Cookbook Review

A good technical book will achieve two goals: inform and inspire. Now, a great technical book, that will motivate. It will force you to act. Not out of obligation, but with verve that’s usually reserved for a kid in a candy shop. And the Facebook Cookbook is motivating as hell.
Happy Groundhog Day, indeed.
So, I got this spam on Twitter the other day. I say it’s spam because I don’t know who this is, and they certainly don’t know me all too well sending me this link. A check on AtomicShroom’s Twitter stream and, hey, he’s sent the same stock message to several dozen people. So, yep, spam.
