Racing to be first might not always be the best

I happened to read an earlier post on MSNBC featuring Mashable.com editor Adam Ostrow talking about how people can become overloaded by all the different web 2.0 startup applications emerging practically every day. Perhaps what I enjoyed best about this article was this quote that relates to all marketers out there that feel that they […]

Live from DC…it’s the Twin Tech party.

So last night was perhaps one of the greatest tech mashups of the year. Organized by iStrategyLabs CEO, Peter Corbett and sponsored by perhaps some of the DC Metropolitan area’s best technology partners like ClearSpring, SocialTimes.com, JobMatchbox.com, Tech Cocktail, AwayFind, Livingston Communications, the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), and many others, the local tech community […]

Twitter takes Summize: But why are we celebrating?

Breaking News! Twitter acquires Summize and adds it to its growing tools of Twitter applications. Wait, why is this so great?

Can politics and social media survive together? Robert Scoble seems to think so.

Are you down with the “Groundswell”?

Another great book has been written. “Groundswell”, written by Forrester Research social and technology gurus Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff is a phenomenol book that will help guide any company’s social media campaign and strategy. What’s great about this book is that they’ve incorporated the POST method into it. I first heard about this method […]

The evolution of marketing stems from the brand

I had a great lunch with Ernie Mosteller, creative genius of Blattner Brunner, yesterday and everytime I talk to him, I’m motivated and inspired to talk about what’s going on with the world of technology, the Internet and marketing. In any event, the conversation we were having began with a simple question and gradually evolved […]

The mighty Twitter has fallen. Who shall rise to take its place?

Over the past several weeks, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of  people have become quite irritated over the service (or lack thereof) by their technology dealer: Twitter. Like a powerful drug, Twitter has made the masses go cold turkey almost immediately for the slow and reduced service that we were all once accustomed to. […]

You THINK you know, but do you really know social media?

Thanks to @vanina on Twitter, I’ve found this great video that hopefully explains social media to folks in plain english using ice cream as a tasty and interesting analogy. I’d like to hear what you think about this video, produced by Lee LeFever of CommonCraft.com.

Once you’re lucky, twice you’re good…but Sarah Lacy’s GREAT!

I must admit that the interview that Sarah Lacy did with Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, at this past year’s South by Southwest made me first hear about who Sarah was. I’ll admit that her name was not immediately recognizable to me and when I heard about her latest book “Once You’re Lucky, Twice […]
