Excuses, Excuses
There have been big things afoot, so I apologize for my absence.
Soon, I hope… very soon.
Making Sense Of It All
Originally posted on SocialGeist.net.
I’m posting this here because the events that transpired over the past two days have involved a company that does business in the social media arena. I will not be pointing this article back to any previous posts, but it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out who/what I’m talking about.
It all started with a little post. I was disappointed. I only noted that I was not the only person deleting the application.

Michael Jackson’s Funeral: Will Twitter Finally Go Mainstream?
Originally posted on SocialGeist.net
On Tuesday, July 7th, 2009, at about 10 am Pacific Daylight Time, social media will have yet another first: Michael Jackson’s funeral. I would expect CNN, NBC, CBS, and all the other major networks to be broadcasting from Los Angeles, CA, and one would think that nearly every newspaper will have a spread about the events at The Staples Center the following morning. For this event, however, Twitter,FriendFeed, and Hulu will be there alongside the conventional media.

Comments (2) For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you know that every now and then I will add the hashtag #BestCoverOfAllTimeForRightNow to a song. It originally started as a joke when I claimed that a song was the best cover song of al time, and was told, “Well, maybe not of all time.”
So it became the best cover of all time, but just for right now, until another one comes along.
Without further ado, I present to you some of the #BestCoversOfAllTimeForRightNow:
Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower
Written by Bob Dylan, made famous by Jimi
Children of Bodom – Rebel Yell
Alexi and the gang take on this Billy Idol classic
Black Label Society – No More Tears
Zakk helped the “Old Man” write this song, and a few years later, he had his own take on it
Megadeth – Paranoid
Another guitar hero takes on an Ozzy song
Tell me what your favorite covers are.
