In the Belly of the Fail Whale: How Twitter Changed My Life in One Year
New City Entertainment is proud to represent this very informative and hilarious book by Rob Gokee.  If you are new to Twitter and want to understand how it can affect your life personally and professionally, check out Rob’s book for all the tips and insight you need, that and the ups and downs of a year in his life.

“The book is about the last 12 months of my life, and how Twitter played a role in one of the biggest changes I’ve ever experienced. Don’t worry, it’s not all about being serious. I am known for bringing on the funny, and I make fun of people I’ve met on Twitter. Once they sign waivers. You know who you are.”  ~Rob Gokee, Author

Facebook on PlayStation 3 is now Live
You may not realize it but game consoles such as PS3, XBox and Wii all have internet access and most games have online social capabilities.  Through these games, you and your children can chat, video chat and browse the internet right through the game itself – even though it’s not connected to your computer.  Most phones also have this ability.

NCP Tip: Parents, it’s important to know what your children have access to via their game consoles and devices.  You have the right to monitor your children’s access to such things and you should.
