How do you protect your personal data?

If you're like me, you probably have a ton of content stored in various digital places. I've had my external hard drive for a while and it has been a lifesaver when I need to keep my data with me. My hard drive and I were doing so well with my travel and work... until one day, it just went kaput! I didn't know what to think of it. Of course, the first thing I did was panic because all of my photos, content and everything else that's important to me was on that external hard drive. How could this happen? My thinking was that if my laptop went down then I'd still have my files with me on the ext[...]

The Secret Sauce to Successful Crowdsourcing Campaigns

Repost from HuffingtonPost Tech  Lately, I've had more people asking me what the secret sauce of a successful crowdsourcing campaign is. It's quite simple, but it's more than just getting consumers to vote, like, or jump on the bandwagon and buy the products you are creating. It's about actually creating an entire brand experience for followers. You need to be willing to dig into detailed planning that integrates streamlined action items into that plan. Strategic thinking is invaluable in crowdsourcing activities. We live in an age of entrepreneurial overload, after all -- how are you going[...]
