The power is not in the pen, but in the keyboard
So I always enjoy hearing about people exploiting social media and making it what it could be. Blogging guru Dave Winer recently published a rather scathing article on the very poor service by Comcast and how they are not “social media-friendly”. It used to be that only companies feared the power of printed pieces that […]
Podcamp DC, Here I Come!
So after being told that some of the people that I know are going to Podcamp DC this Saturday, I decided to see if I could register. At one point, I noticed that registration was now closed and you’d have to be bumped to the waitlist. Well, forget that! Then just yesterday I tried to […]
Social media makes linking awfully tough
In a majority of my posts, I link to a lot of folks, but there are times when I wonder what’s the right place to link to. I’d like to be consistent in my linking and perhaps the obvious choice is the person’s website and that’ll probably solve all my problems right there. But what […]
What You Need to Know About Doing Email Marketing
I just came back from a pretty interesting conference for work relating to our CRM system and there was this presentation on how it integrates with an email marketing application. I find it awesome, and we’re taking advantage of it, but what slightly concerns me is how people expect to put together email marketing. It’s […]
Have I told you that I admire Seth Godin?
In an earlier post, I had talked about “dropping names” and I’ve been astonished by the folks that I’ve encountered online – people like Robert Scoble, Geoff Livingston, Shel Israel, Jim Long, Loic Le Meur, and even Dave Winer. Not to go on a tangent or anything, but I happened to come across Robert Scoble […]
The two sides of social media…or is it?
I think I may have fallen off of the proverbial deep-end. It seems that the more that is going on these days with the Internet stems from social media. You have new startups emerging each day and to me they seem to be all centered around user-generated content or probably more associated with social media. […]
A success story: Introducing the NEW washington.org!
So as I may have alluded to in random postings or on Twitter, I’ve been going through the past 7-8 months racking my brain about how to launch a new site. The company I work for has undergone a complete revamp of things and we’ve rebranded, changed our entire organization name, and even our website. […]
Twitter, Facebook, or Blogging: Which is a better extension of your brand?
Now before you say anything, I’m sure that all three of the above mentioned applications are probably best used in collaboration with each other to help accentuate your brand online. BUT, what I’m asking is which of the three: Twitter, Facebook, or setting up your own blog, would help create more “buzz” for your brand? […]
Get your tech foot in the door with Job Matchbox
So I was quite fortunate enough to hang out with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Neel of Job Matchbox tonight and we shot the breeze about what was going on with their site since they recently redesigned their site and a bunch of other things. As it turns out, it’s probably been a couple of months […]
Redesign? Are you sure you want to do that?
It’s funny how things happen that only reinforce my decision about what to write about. We’re undergoing a redesign of our website and the new one will be awesome and have all the basic glamorous features that most new websites have – updated navigation, better organization, and throw in a back-end application – basically it’s […]
