My Heart Belongs To ‘Twitterville’ — Now In Book Form
I was privileged to attend Shel Israel’s recent book launch party in honor of his upcoming book, Twitterville. After reading his first book, Naked Conversations, which he co-authored with technology evangelist Robert Scoble, I was looking forward to what was coming up next. Since I’ve been living in San Francisco, I’ve had a chance to […]
Separating The Difference Between Influencers & Evangelists.
This question was first posed today on Twitter by Joann Peach during the Future of Influence Summit in San Francisco. Several people responded to her inquiry and here’s my take on it: no. I don’t think that influencers are the same as people you would consider to be champions or enthusiasts. Rather, let’s think of […]

Often I find myself with my camera snapping photos and posting them onto Flickr under Creative Commons, specifically non-commercial, non-derivative and atrribution licensing. To see where these photographs appear, I enlist […]

Building The Circle of Trust With Customers and “Trust Agents”.
A couple of years ago, I was given this piece of paper with an excerpt for a book that I would soon purchase called Purple Cow written by an author that I’ve come to value and respect his opinions – that being Seth Godin. Ever since, I’ve tried to use that as a mantra for […]

Once just a glimmer in its parents’ eyes, Lil’ Grams has emerged to become the next great social network for families.

Tweet Your Way to a Hawaiian Vacation.
My first job outside of college was working in one of Hawaii’s largest and most experienced interactive agencies – StarrTech Interactive. Since that time several years ago, I have seen the company produce such outstanding work and they always seem to surprise me with their creative, technical and marketing prowess. This recent example is nothing […]
