I’ve been sitting on the sidelines of social media for a while now. You haven’t seen me post a very damning blog post in a while. You haven’t seen me tweet as aggressively as I once did. Nor have you seen me blog about all the wonderful stuff that companies want to provide me because
Social media is dangerous for companies like Rogers who have failed to provide good customer service for years.
A change to my blog is coming… and it’s going to be drastic! Are you ready for it?!

The Social Media Influencer is a new concept that has only recently become a term to describe a group of people that marketers and/or public relations people can attempt to exploit to their perceived advantage. The problem with this, and what marketing and public relations firms will realize very quickly is that – Social media influencers
I didn’t really comment on this when it first happened. Mostly because I just *heard* about it, and hadn’t actually seen it. But the long and the short of it… Lauren O’Neil, better known as @laurenonizzle on Twitter hanging out with Casie Stewart (@casiestewart) came upon a power wheelchair and decided that it would be
