Ten Things you Must Know before Using Twitter
As I thought about the next topic for a blog post, I could not help but get drawn back to Twitter. It is what interests most of my readers, and the truth be told, it is what interests me.

Techonomy 2009: Great Startups & Amazing Event
I was fortunate enough to attend the Techonomy event this week in Tel Aviv, and I have to say, it was one of the best tech and networking events I have ever attended.

Top 5 Reasons to Tweet
Being a heavy Twitter user has presented a very serious challenge for me. I am asked multiple times every day, “What is Twitter?” I always try to answer that question in the most relevant way taking my audience into consideration.
