Getting Social In Real Life With The Social Media Club
It’s fascinating how people use social media. Really. It’s definitely a means of communicating with one another and getting people sharing common interests. If enough people are interested, then perhaps an organization forms. This is exactly what will happen this Saturday in the San Francisco Bay Area. Organized through the work of Barbara Drady and […]
Crowdsourcing Your Employee Requirements.
Last week while walking through the streets of San Francisco, I was reading a tweet by Forrester Research analyst Jeremiah Owyang that stated electronics retail giant Best Buy was looking to hire a digital strategist. Immediately I clicked on the link and read something amazing: they were looking for someone who at the very least […]
Why Are You Still Spending Money Offline?
I’ve always been a die-hard promoter of the Internet. I’ve loved working on campaigns and telling people why they need to be marketing in the online space for several years and truly enjoyed its scalability and the advancements that have been made.

#FollowFriday: Movers & Shakers, Pt. 3
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.

Got Whuffie? Then You’ve Got Social Cred
I probably didn’t need to buy this book. I’m serious. I probably didn’t. I’ve heard so many good things about Tara Hunt, the author of The Whuffie Factor, on her speaking and presentations and how awesome they are. So when I finally got a chance to hear her speak, it was about five of the […]
A Talking Dog. A Purple Cow. Something Unique & Creative.
Just last week I was fortunate enough to watch the movie Up! in the theatre and the above scene got me thinking about one of the character’s reaction and how it relates so closely to one of my favorite books, The Purple Cow by Seth Godin. In the above clip, the stars of the movie […]
