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.

Social Media Professionals Teach You Their Secrets In 100 Interviews

#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 […]

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 […]
Does Social Media Influence Travel Decisions?
A recent tweet by Nathan Kam, a PR executive on behalf of a tourism organization, asked whether social media played any part in the decision making process of determining where people stay, visit or what they do on their next vacation. My response? Yes, social media absolutely plays a big role in how people make […]
Why The San Francisco MUNI System Needs To Be Online
I’ve lived here in San Francisco for nearly a year now and everywhere I’ve gone in the city I’ve ridden the public transit system known as MUNI. It’s an alright mode of transit when you want to get from point A to point B, but the one thing that I’ve noticed is that it’s hard just […]

Often times I find myself thinking about topics to write about and then soon enough, a new event happens whether it be a marketing campaign, news, technology development, etc that just reinforces my topic. This post is no exception to that rule. It’s all about […]
