Allow me to preface this post with the note that I despise people who make rules about things that are supposed to be fun. I always grind my teeth when I see a posts with the title, “The Dos and Don’ts of Twitter” or “3 Ways You’re Chewing Your Bubble Gum the Wrong Way.” I [...]
It is a brave new world, my friends. When I was growing up, if someone had a bad rep it meant that there were some rumors floating around about them and while, sure, their reputation might affect their social status at school, eventually it would fade away. Now, you don’t just have to worry about [...]
Like everyone else, I’m addicted to Facebook. I update my status with carefully-crafted, pithy bon mots, links to my writing, or baby photos when I’m at a loss for words and just want to bait my friends into boosting my ego (every time I log on to Mark Zuckerberg’s Digital Crack Den, I feel like [...]
My friend and personal trainer is one of those people that plays Scrabble on her phone all of the time. Yesterday, I finally made the mistake. I asked her who she plays against. Whoever she knows that has the Scrabble app. What? I have the Scrabble app. I’ve been playing against the computer. I didn’t [...]
As I stripped off my clothes to step into the shower, I thought about Scarlet Johansson’s nude photos. Sure, it was wrong she was hacked, but the fact is those pictures were hot. She managed to look stunning, real, and innocent all at once. Those were the kind of pictures you wish you could recreate [...]
There have been a lot of “lists” on Twitter. They inevitably turn into popularity contests and who’s the prom queen and king. It seemed it was time for Aiming Low to throw it’s trucker cap into the ring and come up with a list of our own. *this list was very scientifically formulated and the [...]
Of all the ways that social media can make you feel crappy and rotten about yourself, Klout has reached new lows. Klout claims to measure your ability to drive traffic on the web by ranking you against your friends so you can relive all that painful, cliquey high school angst when you determine that everyone you love [...]
When I was a younger we didn’t have the influx of media and social media constantly like you have. No texting nonstop to or from people we wanted and didn’t want in our lives. We had breaks between all the hype. We had time to catch our breath; regroup. Time to remember who we were. [...]
Let me start by saying I generally shy away from didactic lists of what to do and not to do online. I hate reading “helpful,” condescending missives about Twitter etiquette (“Don’t complain! I will unfollow you faster that you can type #firstworldproblems!”) and how to get more blog traffic (“Just write every single day, come [...]
There’s a lot of social media slang out there for us to weed through. If you’re like me, you like to use some slang you come across in the social media world but sometimes you feel a little out of place using certain terms. If you’re like me you also don’t care if you’re using [...]
Google+ has arrived. It’s the latest in a long line of fun social sharing web apps, it’s in beta, and it’s blowing up your RSS feeds. Well, mine at least. Maybe everyone on Twitter or Facebook is chatting about it, and you’re looking around like “What? Who? When did Google start with the social media?”
