Welcome to my blog! I am the founder of this blog and I started it back in 2006 after becoming inspired by a number of other bloggers at the time. In the midst of growing this site into something I wasn’t quite clear about, I came up with the idea to launch a site about Facebook (AllFacebook.com). That eventually turned into Social Times Inc., which included conferences, and online school, and SocialTimes.com. In December of 2009 my company was acquired by WebMediaBrands Inc.
This is my personal blog where I write about being a digital entrepreneur. If you want to get in touch, you can shoot me an email via mr.nick.oneill [at] gmail [D0t] com
