Spotified and Painless
I’ve been spoiled for a little while and have had a Spotify account for the past year. I didn’t realize how great it was until about 6 months ago and started using it pretty regularly. Mostly I lean on it for music that I want to listen to but don’t really want to buy. For [...]
All media will be social, the term ‘Social Media’ will be irrelevant …
