    Seriously, though: did you ever think of Popping Balloons or Puncturing Gasbags?
  • StevenHodson · 3 months ago
    I thought at one time about something to do with balloons but the reasoning behind going with 'bubbles' was because we constantly talk about living in a bubble or being full of hot air so after talking with Chris Brogan and Alexander van Elsas they helped center around the idea of shooting holes in those hot air filled balloons - hence Shooting at Bubbles.

    Thanks for including TND in this really cool list. As in blogs I would recommend there are too many, but one I've fallen in love with is Snarkmarket http://snarkmarket.com/blog/ and I recommend it because is not as well known as it should.

    Cool, I must check that out.

    i've said it before, and I'll say it again - Chris Brogan is Chewbacca. Whenever I listen to Media Hacks, and he speaks, all I can hear is "YURB!" and a lot of associated noise, without much new content.

    However! I read a lot of LifeHacker and TreeHugger - both of which are mostly snippits and how-tos. For example, LifeHacker regularly features workspaces that are truly impressive - cable management for the anal, if you will, and inspiring layouts. They also had a post a while ago about better ways to fit canalphones (in-ear earphones) into your ears without all that jamming. It's a neat site.

    I still find new stuff on Chris's blog. As for Chewbecca... shorter, far less hair, and no bandolier for sure. Heh, couldn't resist.

    LOL... thanks for the recommendation, Mark. (And I love @SuzeMuse, so it's an honor to have us in the same paragraph.)

    I also love that you've basically declared Chris Brogan the Nickelback of Social Media...
  • Mark Dykeman · 3 months ago
    Nickelback? Hm, wasn't the intent but, hey, whatever works...
