App For That - Part 1. My Weekend with the iPod touch

I'm a child of the information age. I grew up with chat rooms and AOL Instant Messenger and still remember having a Cartoon Network profile page.  I remember when Myspace was cool and when everyone started switching to Facebook. I have profiles on dozens of video sharing, photo sharing and blogging sites and have over two years experience in Social Media consulting, marketing and management. I've been called a whiz kid and a social media guru ... but I still don't have a smart phone.

I know all about the phones and the apps from reading Mashable and observing my friends, but until recently I hadn't experienced them for myself. Over the weekend I checked out an ipod Touch from the office so I could learn by doing. Over the next few days I'll be blogging about my experiences in this whole new world of apps. Check back in tomorrow as  I discuss my new found addiction "Instagram."

Thanks for Reading,
