Myself, I really like the iPad mounted as a frame, with a happy slideshow cycling through.

Jessica Jackley has a gift for making people want to fork over their cash. To total strangers. Far, far away.

'Single' is usually applied to women as though they are a problem to be fixed.

I suspect I am like most people on the Internet in that I sign up for all sorts of sites and frequently use the same passwords.

What bothered me most about chick lit, frankly, was how the term was used to dismiss a huge chunk of the bookstore as silly, girlish prattle.

Reporters do decide what is news, but they don't invent it, even if they sometimes become part of the story by risking their lives in a danger zone, as in the case of ABC's Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt.

I am a pop culture person. And car people have clearly contributed to pop culture, which is how I knew about purple French tail lights and 30-inch fins without exactly knowing what they were.

I've gone out on limbs, flung far, and Forrest-Gumped my way into the center of the action.

To be honest, I've been a passionate advocate for the value of tech to help us connect to people in real and emotional ways - and stick up for myself when people say, 'Sklar! Stop tweeting!'

Law school and summer camp are the two experiences that inform pretty much all I do.

Twitter may have a cute-sounding name, but it exists, it generates a ton of content, it implicates all types of people, and it has nuances that are important to get right. Hopefully, its careless rendering by sloppy journalists won't lead to the dumbification of America.

'Sesame Street' is awesome - not only because they teach, edify and entertain kids but because they savvily make it possible to do so with parental engagement, because the show is loaded with references for Mom and Dad.

Groupon's model: Getting the group discount rate first, finding the group second. The daily deal goes out and, if a minimum number of people sign up, they can all share in the group rate. Vendor gets customers, customers get a discount, Groupon gets a cut.

What does 'work' mean in this 21st, ultra-wired century, with its exploding new industries, low barriers to entry and endless possibilities? Is technology making our lives more flexible - or our days more endless?

I wrote small stories here and there, then bigger ones. Some were even written for money. I signed up for a writing class and snuck my first assignment on a yellow legal pad in a partner's office while he read through my memo.

Flip through the channels, and there is no denying it: The world of cable news - and their network chat-show brethren - is very, very white.

Less than two weeks before my 34th birthday, I bought pots. Most people were amazed that I did not previously own pots, but that was before I explained that I had never used my oven, and used my stovetop for my dishrack.

For single women, admitting that you want kids when you're still unattached can feel like exposing a vulnerability. It did to me.

On the Internet, everybody has an opinion about everything, but if you're smart, you know when to keep your mouth shut.

When I go a stretch without tweeting, I will occasionally get an email from my mom, checking in. I always find this amusing but also gratifying: Thanks to Twitter, I can keep in touch with my parents and let them in on what I'm doing in a way that even the regular phone calls of a doting daughter can't do.

If you care about the news and write what you want to read - not just what you think Google search wants to read - there are people out there who want to read it.

Good Lord - if I couldn't multitask, I don't know what I'd do.

I'm Jewish, but not overly religious, and have certainly never formally observed the Fourth Commandment, other than via the tradition of wearing white on Friday nights at summer camp, which never seemed to dovetail with the fact that Fridays were also the night for grape juice.

If anyone was going to write the definitive account of what the 2008 election meant for women, it would be Rebecca Traister.
