Making it work when college grads move back home is easily said then done. CBS 2 News did a special on the Early Saturday Show with Dr. Janet Taylor, a psychiatrist who gave tips on how to make it work with college graduates.

Dr. Taylor’s tips appeared to be very helpful and even achievable for both the parent and the college kid. For me moving back home after graduating from undergrad was a bit challenging and at times unbearable. I eventually learned that I would either have to move or I would drive myself crazy, because my mom was being too much of a parent.

I moved out on my own for two years but came back home after I realized I needed to save money and the real world proved to be tougher than I expected.  However I was pleasantly surprise to see that some of the tips and advice Dr. Taylor shared on CBS, I was already following.

Co-hosting the Chef Cliff Rome Show “Food and Entertainment” on WVON has afforded me many opportunities and I have learned to capitalize on the opportunities when they present themselves.

This past Thursday, Dr. Ian Smith medical expert from VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club did a phone interview on our show.

Meeting Dr. Ian Smith was a pleasure and was great exposure for myself because I want to be a health reporter and not to mention I knew our listeners could benefit from his expertise.

Listen as he gives Chicago listeners great advice about health, eating right and living a happy life.

Twitter was the first know to that Dr. Smith would be on the show and I was hoping that users would call in as I tweeted throughout the interview.

I learned that Dr. Ian Smith lives in Chicago and worked closely with State Farm Insurance to launch the 50 Million Pound Challenge. Dr. Smith shared achievable tips, strategies for dieting and insisted that loosing weight should not be a short term goal. Loosing weight should not be attempted to do so in a week or month but gradually done.

This past April Dr. Ian Smith released his seventh book entitled “Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life” which is on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Apple iPad was released on April 3, 2010 in the United States. The revolutionary tablet computer soon migrated to Japan, France, United Kingdom and Australia amongst several other countries, including of course the Twitterverse.

The iPad fever hit Twitterverse with a bang, however the search for a perfect Twitter application on iPad continues.

From TweetDeck to Twitterrific, which Twitter app best meets an iPadTwitaholic’s social media needs?

According to the Social Media Influence, Twitter is reported to have a 15 million population; including active and inactive accounts. Here’s the iPad showdown via your very own Twitterverse population.

Twitter might seem like a frivolous and annoying website.  Who really cares what you are having for dinner?  But, it turns out that Twitter is used for much more than just personal life updates.  It means business.

Going green is a huge trend right now as people try to reduce their environmental footprint.  There are plenty of books and websites out there offering advice on how to green up your life. But how to weed through all the tips?  Try Twitter.

It can be a little overwhelming at first, trying to sort through the many Twitter feeds to find a feed just about green tips. But with a few tricks you can easily find suggestions for greening just about every aspect of your life. The tweets will help you connect with reliable websites and the most popular tips on the web.

Before writing for Twitter Journalism, I had a perceived notion that Twitter was just a fad used by self-absorbed social-media addicts interested only in news that affected them personally.

Everyone in the United States is gearing up tonight to watch the final episode of Lost. What are fans on Twitter worried about though?

Twitter users are concerned about the SPOILERS found on Twitter all too often.

People especially across the United Kingdom are fearing the spoiler alert. The final episode of Lost airs tonight in the United States and runs for 4 1/2 hours, answering many of the questions viewers have been looking for since first watching the show.

Some people in Europe and specifically in the United Kingdom that are worried about seeing spoilers online are going so far as to say that they plan to stay off the Internet for the next few days until they have a chance to watch the final episode.

Twitter users concerns about spoilers on social media networks and specifically Twitter, are felt by many:

If you are a sports writer, nothing beats the feel of a live event. The energy in the arena or gymnasium can fuel your creativity. But so can Twitter.

Steve Buttry of Gazette Communications is collecting tips on how journalists can use Twitter and real-world examples of how journalists have used Twitter in the past, both good and bad experiences.

Twitter began rolling out its latest feature – “lists” – to select users this week, with plans to opening it up to everyone soon.

Earlier this month, journalism professor and mindcast-extraordinaire Jay Rosen had his followers scratching their heads when he made this prediction:
