Gmail’s Best April Fools Joke Yet

You know I’ve reallllllly got to be busy to have forgotten that today is April Fools Day. It is my favorite holiday. I used to do all kinds of things to my friends and family back in the day. Now, I couldn’t even remember that the best holiday of all is today.
Well, thanks Gmail for reminding me. I saw something about Gmail Motion and thought, “What..the hell?” I immediately realized this had to be a joke…right? It would be ridiculous if this were true. So, I clicked the video tutorial. It made me smile a little. This is their best April Fools yet. Good job, Gmail.

Broadcastr: Listen Closely, Every Place Has a Story

I know I said I would post when I have time. I do not have time right now, but I wanted to post this before I forgot. Check out this article from TechCrunch on Broadcastr, a very cool tool that I think could be useful to journalists in our storytelling.

I know, I know…it’s been a while.

I decided I’m going to continue using this (when I have time) to post all the cool social media and hyperlocal tools and information that I find because I come across some pretty incredible stuff. Plus, I like knowing about the hottest, newest things and then sharing these things.

So here’s one. It’s called NowMov. I’m in love with it. I learned about it when social media god, Ashton Kutcher, tweeted a video from it. Please check it out just to have this awesomeness in your life. Here you go:
