Do you have Klout? I do – I have 56 points (give or take depending on the day) of Klout. I know many who have jumped on the Klout bandwagon while others are as reluctant to acknowledge the site as they were upon the birth of Twitter.

Food trucks have long been embracing the power of social media. In a way, social media is the fuel that keeps the food trucks going. Very practically, our four-wheeled friends tweet their whereabouts for the day.

We're all familiar with this everyday situation: you're at your local Sonic *cough*Binghamton*cough* and you hear an eerie moaning and rattling of chains at the other end of the parking lot. Is there a g-g-g-ghost out there? Oh boy. You put down your Coney and reach for your phone. But with the Ghostbusters tied up in contract disputes and Mystery Incorporated busy investigating that haunted amusement park, you do the next best thing and call the cops. Hilarity Ensues.
