What “American Idol” Can Teach Us About Crowdsourcing
This is a cross-blog post from Network Solution’s Solutions Are Power website that I guest wrote. Originally posted on SolutionsArePower.com on May 27, 2009. If you’ve been living under a rock over the past few days, you may not have known that a new American Idol was crowned. But we’re not here to debate whether […]
#FollowFriday: Authors Who Rock
This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers. This week will focus on the authors who have written some of the best books that I’ve read recently and are on Twitter. I’ve been fortunate […]
Changing the Paradigm of the Status Update
A while ago, I saw an interesting idea by Brian Solis on Twitter which I didn’t manage to mark as a “favorite” unfortunately, but the principle was rehashed during a panel discussion at TWTRCON in San Francisco last month. That idea was the evolution of the “status update” or more importantly how should Twitter’s trademark […]
The Power Behind A Sale Is With The Relationship In Real Life?
As shocking as this turns out, it appears that a recent eMarketer.com report has the role of the influencer not in the hands of the bloggers or the marketers, but rather the friends you associate with…in real life. Yes, that’s right. The study pretty much states what us online marketers have been saying the complete […]
Does YouTube Deserve To Be Playing In Hulu’s Court?
When I think about user-generated video content, the first place that I go to is YouTube. Where do you go? Isn’t that what the core competency of YouTube is to be? A holding place for video enthusiasists to publish their home videos, event coverage, and other stupid stuff they’ve filmed with their friends to post […]
#FollowFriday: People Who Inspire Me
This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers. I was recently asked who taught me my leadership skills and that started my thinking about who I follow that inspires me in some way, shape […]
Should Agency’s Be Responsible for User-Generated Content?
In a recent conversation that I had with two different friends from two very different agencies, a topic about how they are responsible for being the “face” of their client on social networking sites and applications. I can see from a company size standpoint how agencies find the need for them to maintain the online […]
Social Media Professionals Teach You Their Secrets In 100 Interviews
In an earlier post that I wrote on Network Solutions entitled “Learning all you can through 100 interviews“, I called attention to the awesome job that three friends were doing with their own “startup project“. Basically the goal for them was to meet and talk with 100 people during the recent South by Southwest interactive […]
#CNNFail: Why Traditional Media Is Failing to Understand The Web
While I think this may apply to all the major networks and forms of traditional media, I think the brunt of this is probably directed towards CNN, since apparently on Twitter, it’s created a whole new trend called #CNNFail. When someone typically says “Fail” these days, it usually means that a specific product, brand, service […]
#FollowFriday: The Capital Innovators
This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers. For this week’s selection, we’re jumping to the right coast of the United States to check out the awesome folks in the DC Metro/Mid-Atlantic region and why […]
