I’ve been on Twitter since shortly after its inception, but only since signing up for Tweetdeck have I come to realize the full potential of the service.

I actually really enjoyed this viral marketing video constructed for Marshall’s the Cube, an in-store boutique housed within the racks of surprisingly good fashion finds.

Image via Wikipedia Target drives me crazy. About four years ago, this store was starting to grow its plus section. It was cool. It was even a little ahead of its time. They were increasing the sizes they offered. And then they hired Isaac Mizrahi and the first thing to shrink almost but not quite to... »
I admit it, it’s a personal fantasy of mine to have a pair of really good walking shoes that support my feet while looking fabulous on a dance floor and walking all over downtown Minneapolis to try out multiple dance floors. Thus far I’ve found shoes that almost make it, but all fall just... »
I’m just sort of horrified yet fascinated by this advert. I’d like to hear your thoughts. Share on Facebook »
