Learning To Target Your Audience By Example.

There’s something to be said about trying new things. For me, I’ve been accustomed to working from behind the marketing realmn of it all. I have a marketing degree and am focused on pushing information out. But with me now being a social media strategist at Stage Two Consulting, I’m finding myself thrust into a […]

Twitter Lists Have Finally Arrived For All: Big Ego Boost Or Real Value?

I guess I was one of the lucky ones. It seemed that once Twitter lists rolled out for one of the first small percentage of Twitter users, I got selected as one of them.

How Myspace Is Reinventing Itself With Secret Concerts.

This past Wednesday, I was invited to what appeared to be a “secret concert” organized by the Myspace social network. Held at the Regency Theater in San Francisco, this concert series was perhaps the first time I heard something cool coming out of Myspace.

Keeping An Eye Out For Those Tricky Twitter Spammers.

After reading a post on Los Angeles blog, lalawag, I thought it would be insightful to put something together myself. A while back I wrote a post commenting on how the number of people following you on Twitter were rather irrelevant and I still stand by it – although everyone’s ego is always getting the […]

Last Thursday, at an event called Lunch for Good, I was talking to Susan Tenby who informed me about an interesting debate she was having with someone on Twitter where the core issue being discussed was whether or not social media, in all its glory, actually constituted being considered a “field”.
