Setting The Stage For A Comeback With Stage Two Consulting.

I’ve been fortunate enough thus far to have networked with a lot of people. Whether that’s through attending numerous conferences, events, meetups, tweetups or through social media, I’ve amassed a pretty good network of friends and acquaintances.

How Myspace Is Reinventing Itself With Secret Concerts.

This past Wednesday, I was invited to what appeared to be a “secret concert” organized by the Myspace social network. Held at the Regency Theater in San Francisco, this concert series was perhaps the first time I heard something cool coming out of Myspace.

Is this analogy true or false? Blogs are to bloggers as Twitter is to bloggers. I would say no – this is false. This isn’t true. If you’re a Twitter user, this does not automatically make you a blogger. I have been guilty of making it seem like it is, but that’s probably because I’ve […]

Putting The Cards On The Table With The FTC Full Disclosure.

I would be remiss if I didn’t cover the latest guidelines released by the Federal Trade Commission as it relates to the liability and responsibilities of the blogging community so let’s take a look at the repercussions of this new policy, okay? In January 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decided to nudge their way […]

Taking Crowdsourcing to a Grandeur Level. It’s City Sourced.

This is a cross-blog post from Network Solution’s Solutions Are Power website that I guest wrote. Originally posted on SolutionsArePower.com on October 1, 2009. Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, got excited about this company – and business & technology reporter Sarah Lacy even said that it was on the road to being something that […]

What’s The Value of Twitter Domains vs Web Domains?

I had an interesting talk with my friend Drew Olanoff last Tuesday and he told me about his new idea for raising money to help fight cancer. In case you don’t know Drew, he’s the mastermind behind the ever-popular and perhaps one of the most charitable events in the tech industry and it’s all going […]
