Write rhymes.

Classic Web 2.0 tool. Type out a few lines. Get stuck for a rhyme? Option click on the word and it will list a slew of rhymes for it, sorted by number of syllables. Now I can finally find words that rhyme with Orange!

That old dog I’m referring to is social media.

 

Sure, you’re already blogging, and on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook, and more. Great.

 

But I’m telling you — there’s more to social media than meets the eye. The final chapter on social media hasn’t been written.

 

When I kicked off my writing business in April, I decided to use social media my way.
