Cause It’s 1, 2, 3, Checks You're Into the Ol’...
By Tyler Becker
It was this past spring where I started to really dive into the world of mobile check-ins. From train stations to restaurants, a check-in has become pretty routine for me. When I attended a Yankees game last month, I was a bit disappointed to receive a couple of measly points on Foursquare for checking in. Yes, the place was swarming (literally), but I wanted more! Now, I set upon...

Netflix has the chance to become a new social forum for film and television. If I want...
The Importance of Hashtags
By: Shari Donk
When I first joined twitter, I used it just as I used my Facebook status updates. I put no effort into them and tweeted maybe once a week. Whenever I signed in, I would see people ending their tweets with the “pound” (#) sign followed by a random word or phrase and I didn’t really understand it. What was the point?
