Is social media over-hyped?
No. Social media is already pervasive throughout government, industry, and society. That's not going away.
However, just because social media as a broad tent category is here to stay doesn't mean there won't continue ...
A group for bloggers, vloggers, podcasters and users of other new media.

When I was about to graduate from college, I was sitting in my dorm room feeling totally clueless about what comes next when I saw my Aerobie propped against the wall. So I looked them up and emailed them begging for a job... and there I was for my first year out of college!
You an Aerobie fan?

Yu Xian He said… - Hi Gabe,
Unfortunately, I'm no pro at GUI (just a novice programmer) and the CG imaging I've done aren't professional. Thanks for the invite though, I will keep it in mind :)

Damian Davila Rojas said… - Hey Gabe and Truman,
Sorry to jump into the conversation but I couldn't help notice that you guys were talking about a Spanish website! lomastv.com looks really cool and it is a great way to practice your Spanish AND create awareness about the different accents that we have (I am a native Spanish speaker).
Thank you for the great find!
Cheers,
Damian

- Hey Gabe, I just watched the demo video on lomastv.com. That girl IS spunky! I can see why people like her a lot and ask to see more videos by her. I like her, too.
I'm thinking to cancel the Jelly this week due to a lack of interest. Let me know if you want to meet up for lunch instead.

- Hey Gabe, check out this website to learn Chinese by video. They don't have the running captions on the bottom or glossary as Yabla has. But interesting resource!
