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.  I mostly apply for media passes or pay to attend as an attendee (I’d say it’s about 50-50 right now.  […]

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).  During the Great Uber Outtage of 2011 this past weekend, I tried two alternatives Twitter alternatives on my Blackberry, HootSuite and SocialScope.  Both apps, unlike UberSocial or […]

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 […]
