There are thousands of blogs and sources to learn about social media, but among this clutter, where are the best resources to learn and keep up about social media? I will start with Mashable, DaniWeb (of course), and eMarketer. Where else would you say?

I just read on a blog that 18% of online visitors use social media to search for information. I actually think it is higher. I personally have used Yelp, Facebook, and Twitter to search for restaurant recommendations and events. What about you? What do you think?

I saw a report that Hollywood Studios (both movies and TV) and the agencies that manage celebrities are trying to crack down on celebrities tweeting for fear of news getting out that the studios might want to use for publicity at a better time. Personally, I think that as industry …

We all have received multiple emails from Nigeria requesting us for funds. Also, if you saw District 9, "The Nigerians" also played a bully role on the site. Thus, I thought this was sort of funny but I am glad the Nigerias are finally taking a stand.
