Lately, I've been intrigued by Twitter.com. I'm so interested in the power of this web site/social networking tool that I keep it on all day long. Today, Peter Shankman in Help A Reporter Out (HARO) mentioned a list of people to follow in twitter. The people ranged from reporters and...
Where Do You Think?
The other day, Peter Shankman of HARO sent out a query from a reporter at a woman's magazine asking for places one goes to think to be creative. Since we are a creative group, I decided to survey a few of the HJMT folks: "I take a long, hot shower,"...
