That blog guy was 38 and (from tone) seems considerably older.Nikole GippsTue, 27 Feb 2007 03:54:19 -0000http://cfavreau.disqus.com/fearing_the_ampquotmommy_stigmaampquot/#comment-2015523I think this is why I choose the clients that I do ... my client base is largely female, and entrepreneurs/small businesses ... so they are a lot more understanding of a sick baby than if I had corporate clients.<br><br>Still, I have to know who is OK with the baby babbling in the background and who is not.Nikole GippsTue, 26 Jun 2007 02:33:44 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/want_to_deactivate_your_facebook_account_be_prepared_for_a_guilt_trip/#comment-13119995I actually find that hilarious. Deactivating seems weird anyway ... if I want to not use it, I just don't use it. It's not like having a unused credit card laying around.Nikole GippsWed, 22 Jul 2009 13:46:33 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/heath_ledger_directed_music_video_appears_on_myspace/#comment-13946379I think you should recheck where you are getting your images ... that flickr account is a little creepy.Nikole GippsTue, 04 Aug 2009 18:00:25 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/lunchtime_poll_what_web_services_are_worth_paying_for/#comment-16072564Campaign Monitor for newsletter service, Netflix for that instant queue (a lifesaver with kids!!), Flickr Premium (I have 2 accounts even, one personal and one business!). That's about what I pay for. Facebook isn't worth the money, they are full of bugs and zero support for problems; Twitter is popular for the FAIL WHALE ('nuff said); LinkedIn really hasn't done much of anything for me. And yes, Comcast charges an arm and a leg for all of this in the first place. Oh, and of couse I pay for hosting (thank you for your excellent service, HostGator) and for dev subscriptions to premium WP themes (those free ones are just not worth my time).Nikole GippsSun, 06 Sep 2009 16:06:34 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/lunchtime_poll_what_web_services_are_worth_paying_for/#comment-16072670Oh, and 37 signals has some great services that are worth the money ... Highrise, Backpack, Basecamp, etc .. once you go beyond their free levels.Nikole GippsSun, 06 Sep 2009 16:08:32 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/how_to_do_good_on_linkedin/#comment-16208081I don't even understand the reasoning behind such a policy, nor do I understand your company's ability to limit your ability to make a personal recommendation. Depending on how marketable you are, I might have gone to battle with the company over such a policy ... they really don't have the right to tell you what to do in your free time.Nikole GippsTue, 08 Sep 2009 15:23:35 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/posterous_finally_gets_custom_themes/#comment-16830962Oh, great, yet another service I won't use.Nikole GippsThu, 17 Sep 2009 16:19:45 -0000http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/facebook_please_at_least_pretend_to_care/#comment-17275869I completely agree.Nikole GippsThu, 24 Sep 2009 00:12:30 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/the_problem_with_facebook_for_public_conversations/#comment-14643210The problem with this is the assumption that I want my conversations public and all over Google! I actually like that they are not. If they were, Facebook would stop having use for me. The real problem that you can't have a conversation as a brand, only as an individual, is the the issue with major companies and Facebook. It makes Facebook into a broadcast medium and not as a social media conversation for them. I agree with the person above who said "Facebook is for family... twitter and friendfeed is for friends." ... but I would take it one step further in say that Facebook can't expand its offerings until it comes up with a way to keep personal and business lives separate, especially for small business owners who do business under their own name. I want to keep all of my professional contacts connected to my Twitter, FriendFeed or Facebook Corporate/Page; I want all my personal contacts to be on my Facebook personal account. Facebook has not done a good job separating that off at this point, and in that they will fail to bring in the big accounts for true social media connections.Nikole GippsTue, 11 Aug 2009 13:13:21 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/stats_average_twitter_user_is_a_teenage_girl/#comment-16276162"phrase mentions that included age"??? What kind of variable is that? I actually have never once mentioned my age on Twitter, nor have I ever seen anyone else mention it out of the people I follow. All I think they just told you is that teen girls are more likely to mention their age than all other users.Nikole GippsWed, 09 Sep 2009 18:25:03 -0000
