Twitter PostsThe global mobile economy is something that completely threw me for a loop this past weekend. I was at a three day seminar in Amherst, and in the 5,000+ audience, nearly everyone had a cellphone and was texting or calling or on the web. Thankfully they were not using them during the sessions, but still, that is […]

It’s ironic in a way to be using SS to write about it. However, it kind of serves as a practical application of SS’s uses.
