I remain amazed and awed at the quickly growing arsenal of digital tools and applications at our fingertips all for the cost of a machine and knowledge of a Wi-Fi zone. The day has past when marketing and advertising necessarily meant influencing consumers through professionally crafted campaigns and media buys, in addition to word of mouth.

Friday was a day filled with consultations on organizational development, helping an intern write a resume that rocks and a lunch meeting over Thai food that promises to bring a renewed organizational collaboration and enhanced diversity programs to the community. As much as I was occasionally tempted to tune in to Twitter it wasn't a priority and I pushed it to the back of my mind.Here's what I missed so you won't have to!…
