I'm guilty of crimes against the social media community!

On April 29, 2009 By

I just had an epiphany.  I was checking my @ replies on Twitter and saw that Michael Reynolds who owns an awesome Indianapolis web company called Spinweb had retweeted one of my recent posts.

I thought to myself, “Man, he helps me promote my posts all the time!  Why haven’t I been [...]

By far the best social network ever…

On April 28, 2009 By

…is the one that works for you.

I’m a bit of a minimalist.  If I spread myself too thin everything just starts to get crazy.  I use Facebook for personal contacts, LinkedIn for business contacts, my blog to get my ideas out there and Twitter for information gathering, promotion, and relationship building.

I’d love to [...]

5 Ways you CAN ignore the internet.

On April 27, 2009 By

It seems like every marketing professional I know of is saying, “You can’t ignore the internet, any more.”  I think it’s obvious that I believe online tools hold endless potential for marketing, but I’m willing to concede that it’s not the only way to get your message out.  The problem with offline marketing is [...]

These are a few of my favorite things.

On April 23, 2009 By

I was just having a conversation with the extraordinary graphic designer, Austin Wechter, about how sometimes all I feel like doing in my blog posts is RANTING!  That’s where my head was at this morning, but I decided that it might be unproductive.  Instead, I’ve chosen to turn things around and share some of my [...]

Chris Baggot of Compendium Blogware wrote a post at Imedia Connection last month discussing some predictions for the next 12 months of corporate blogging.  One of his arguments was that you should only focus on search as a traffic source to your corporate blog.

On April 21, 2009 By

Seth Godin made an interesting prediction in his blog post yesterday.

Prediction: 90% of your sales will come from word of mouth or digital promotion by 2011. How do you change what you’re doing today to be ready for that?

If I had my druthers, Internet Explorer 6 would disappear!

On April 16, 2009 By

Warning:  This post is a rant!

I’ve written posts in the past about which web browsers I like and why.  Most people who know me know that I’m a bit of a ‘browser whore’.  I use multiple browsers on a daily basis, but I rarely use Internet Exporer unless I’m checking a web [...]

5 ways Twitter could monetize.

On April 16, 2009 By

I’ve been intentionally staying out of the Twitter monetization discussion, because I don’t want to jinx anything.  I like that everything is free.  However, Twitter is probably WORTH more than any other social network and will need to monetize to sustain its existence.

Put search on all twitter pages, then copy the Google [...]

On April 15, 2009 By

Whenever I ask other social media experts for advice about social media best practices, they always recommend automation.  How much content can you push out to the social web automatically so that it doesn’t run your life?  There are lots of tools that are useful, but one basic necessity of all of them is [...]

I just moments ago finished reading the book ‘Time Quake’ written by the Indianapolis-born author Kurt Vonnegut.  I’ve loved each and every one of his books that I have read, but ‘Time Quake’ is by far his best, probably because he [...]
