INFOGRAPHIC: The Revised Map of America According to Twitter Geo-Tags
"Hi Yoni. The whole geo-location thing has always bothered me - for security reasons so obvious only someone with their head buried in the "cloud" doesn't understand. i.e. Yes, Mr. Crook, I'm eating donuts at Dinky's -please steal me blind while I'm out! Duncan "Are Beards BAD for Business? The Survey Says...(YouTube)
"I'd like to add that the laziness argument is idiotic considering the amount of time & meticulous care it takes to trim a beard, and of course, you have to shave Around it at least once a day.

(I worked w/a young gal who did this almost every time she answered - I could practically see the wheels spinning in her head.) 3rd - You'll end up being seen as disingenuous once it's known.

"Hi Susan. I thought #10 was odd - situations I've been in had many people constantly gossiping, not 1 person gossiping with everyone else mute. Quite the contrary - everyone enjoyed & added to the gossip, and there's no way anyone is going to pass an edict that stops it - period. Duncan"Subscribe
