Not a knock against them – I use it, and use it regularly, but anyone who claims Instagram is the worst form of social media, mental health-wise probably doesn’t use its sister company, Facebook enough. Or maybe I just have weird friends. In the past year or so, I have had to unfollow a bunch […]

That Fabulous Life of a Blogger
…NOT!!! I’m no influencer. I’m pretty much just some person from Toronto who runs a blog – just like hundreds of others in the city. I don’t even get invitations to the so-called “coolest” parties.

Marni at H&M: Shopping the Day Before!
I was lucky enough to be chosen to shop the Marni at H&M collection the evening before its launch at one of the Toronto stores. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a DM notification on Twitter from the wonderful people at H&M Canada. I was happy as well, since it meant that I wouldn’t […]

Twitter App Review: HootSuite and SocialScope
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Well, UberSocial is back now, complete with ring tone alerts (an updated app was created this morning due to a glitch in the one released last night).

ÜberSocial Now Working, Glitches Remain
Cynthia Cheng Mintz The Blackberry app formerly known as ÜberTwitter was reactivated Sunday evening under its new name, ÜberSocial. However, one issue still remains. Ringtone alerts don’t appear in Blackberry settings, meaning that users do not know whether they have new mentions or direct messages unless they actually look at their devices. There is no […]
