A Tip From HARO’s Playbook: Community Organizers In Need
This is a cross-blog post from Network Solution’s Solutions Are Power website that I guest wrote. Originally posted on SolutionsArePower.com on July 16, 2009. A while ago, an amazing “movement” was stated by Peter Shankman called Help A Reporter Out. The group’s goal was set to accomplish one mission: to connect reporters with sources. Thanks […]
What Happens When You Think Your Customers Will Kowtow To You?
It’s often a good thing I’m using Twitter because otherwise I wouldn’t have come across this great new video that explains a lot and demonstrates the power of a community. As you may know, currently President Obama is trying to get his health care reform bill passed in the United States Congress and everyone is […]
The Rules of Stealing Have Changed. Creative Commons is in Effect.
A few days ago I’ve had the good fortune to attend one of the best technology and social media conferences on the West Coast – Twiistup. As is typical of my attendance, I brought along my camera to snap a “few” photos (you can see them here). I uploaded select photos onto Flickr and included […]
Understanding the Name of the Game: Retweeting
I happen to be online quite a bit these days. Often I’m checking out what is going on with Twitter and if there’s something interesting, then I’ll be more than glad to retweet that information. However, it should be noted that people don’t seem to understand the basic premise behind what the meaning is about […]
Twitter Me This: A New Twitter Homepage Is Unveiled.
Surprise! Surprise! The fine folks at Twitter have just released a new design for their homepage and it seems to be all the buzz on the Internet world. I must say that at first it looks a lot different than the original design and after taking a closer look, I’m pretty impressed about it. One […]
Today’s Business Brought To You By Twitter.
I’m going to be honest – I got the idea for this blog post from a tweet that I saw from Christopher Peri, creator of the Twitter application TwittFilter. It was a simple tweet: “Twitter is the new business card” and that struck a chord with me immediately. Having gone to numerous events and conferences […]

With the new report & an online tool called ENGAGEMENTdb, Li provides us with some interesting insights on how some prestigious (and […]
Dear President Obama: When Will You Start Talking “To” Us, Not “At” Us?
For the past several years, I’ve put up with politicians getting used to technology and then finding themselves being “successful” in their political campaigns because they’ve “discovered” social media. I find it especially troubling when the only time people communicate with the public is when they actually need them (e.g. votes on election day or […]
Monitoring Content Can’t Be This Easy. LazyFeed Says It Can.
At last Friday’s TechCrunch event, several startups were featured with some even launching or releasing new products that very day. LazyFeed just happened to be one of them, but with an interesting twist. Don’t let the name fool you. LazyFeed isn’t some “crazy web application that outsources the services to India where they’ll report back […]
Exploring It All With The Conversation Prism
Back in August 2008, the author of the book Putting Public Back In Public Relations and creator of the term “PR 2.0”, Brian Solis released the Conversation Prism infographic. But what exactly is this Conversation Prism? According to Solis, it’s to help “provide a visual representation of the true expansiveness of the Social Web and […]
