Technology Tuesday - 36 New Social Media Resources You May Have Missed



We can now officially wish you a merry Christmas. It’s probably been a busy week with all your holiday-related obligations, or maybe you’ve been busy digging yourself out of a snow drift. Either way, we understand if a few of our in-depth stories slipped past you.

But now, as your work week draws to a close and you’re looking for a way to spend those last few hours in the office, or you’re already home and need to take a break from wrapping presents and baking cookies, pull up a seat and see what we’ve been busy with at Mashable this week.

With the holidays nearing and the end of the year not far behind, you can be sure we’ve been creating megalists of resources from the past year, as well as providing quick start guides for some of the gifts you may be receiving and predictions for what we think will make the news in 2011.

If you’re in it for the money, you may want to rethink. Still, most people don’t know what the “new” music industry looks like. Whoever figures it out first could reap huge dividends. Nonetheless, we'd like to inform you on how to start a digital label.

Money Monday - Strippers: 5 Things Men Should Know



5- They Make More Money Than You Think

It is often stated that women turn to stripping because they are attracted to the kind of money they can earn.

Strippers also spend far fewer hours on the job than many people with mainstream careers.
