Latinos in Social Media Launch New Website

It’s been quite an exciting 2011 so far, for Latinos engaged in social media. Earlier this month Fox News Latino aired a segment on the incredible popularity and utilization of social media by Latinos in the U.S. The television segment was followed by a awesome article online about how Latinos will use social media to change the world. This positive coverage has the Latino blogosphere abuzz with activity.

Now Latinos in Social Media, the largest organization of Hispanic professionals engaged in social media, has launched its new website. The website will function as the heart of the LATISM mission: equipping Latinos with the tools they need to transform their communities by enabling members to make choices, take part in actions and decisions that affect their lives, and become agents for change.

The new year is shaping up to be a great one for national recognition of the strong and active participation of Latinos in all forms of social media.

AT&T vs. Verizon iPhone

Finally. Another national player gets into the iPhone game. I love the iPhone but like most who do, I hate my AT&T plan. I’m struck with it until September 2011, but I will be watching how Verizon handles the iPhone roll out and its pricing plan. Like most smartphone billing plans, the range generally begins at $100-150 a month. My AT&T bill is getting out of hand, though I now use my iPhone to connect to my laptop at home through something called tethering. Great technology, and it helps me get rid of my Internet provider. The new Verizon iPhone may have a hotspot feature which would allow you connect the iPhone up to five other Internet devices. That would be awesome. I’ll definitely will be watching how Verizon unfolds the iPhone and how it takes care of its customer demand and service. I’ll let you know when my contract is up with AT&T. I can’t wait, but with those ridiculous termination fees, I’ll just have to.

Mashable has a great comparison chart of the iPhone: AT&T vs. Verizon. Are you looking forward the Verizon iPhone? Feel free to comment below.
