We’re using a new meeting solution to lead classes at the Free Agent Academy called MeetingBurner (affiliate link). They have a great (and free) platform for up to 15 people, which is where I would start. This video walks you through how to use MeetingBurner as a participant.

A few weeks ago I wrote about changing my twitter ID. Since I started on twitter in 2008 I’ve been using @pastdue, the brand of my first radio show.

Since I don’t host that show any longer, it was starting to make less sense to use it, and it doesn’t have as much meaning the years go on.

So I asked you, my faithful friend, to help me think of a new name. Above are those results.

Each morning I scour through many blog posts in my RSS reader and share out the most interesting and helpful ones on twitter. To avoid overwhelming my followers, I’ve begun using bufferapp to spread my tweets over a predetermined schedule throughout the day.

Yesterday I shared a tutorial on how to share photos on twitter without tasteless advertising, while keeping visitors on a website you control. Oh yeah, it was all completely free.

Let’s extend the conversation to Facebook today. Without any extra work, I’ll show you how to share the same pictures on Facebook automatically. If you completed yesterday’s tutorial, there’s no extra work involved except to link it up behind the scenes.

Over the past few months I’ve enjoyed sharing personal photos on the go, right through my iPhone. Since many people ask how I do so much in so little time, allow me to share some behind-the-scenes with you.

When I started sharing photos earlier this year, I realized there many free websites I could send photos to. I was also overwhelmed by how many of them offered tasteless advertising that distracted from the photos I wanted to share. Case in point with this recent photo that someone shared with me through twitter.

At least it wasn’t an advertisement for women’s underwear.

What I’m about to share with you is completely free, though I choose to pay $10 per year and I’ll explain why.
