Putting it all into Contxts
A couple of weeks ago I heard via Twitter of this new mobile feature at Contxts.com. Basically the purpose is to allow you to send your business card information via SMS messaging instantly and easily without needing to exchange tangible objects. What an ingenious idea! The concept behind using Contxts is one where you can […]
Don’t Strain Your Brain. It’s Not That Hard To Put The “Public” Back In Public Relations.
During South by Southwest, I had heard that Brian Solis would be having a book signing for his latest collaborative work of art (this time with Deirdre Breakenridge) “Putting the Public Back in Public Relations“. So I went out and bought it at the bookstore (and immediately got it signed). After reading his last book […]
Aggregating on the go with Zannel.com
A couple of years ago I discovered a means for posting pictures to Twitter so that I could add more of a multimedia component to my daily musings. That application? Twitpic.

Is GoHawaii.com’s “Thousand Smiles” campaign giving more of a toothache?
It just happened last week that I had the great chance to meet Nathan Kam, Vice President of Travel & Tourism at McNeil Wilson Communications, here in San Francisco during his recent trip to help promote the Hawaii Visitors & Conventions Bureau’s campaign entitled “A Thousand Reasons to Smile“. It’s a pretty good campaign that’s […]
Skittles: Great attempt, but you fall short of appeal.
One of the big topics of discussion today is the new Skittles website. What’s so fascinating about it? Well, thanks to the work of an outstanding agency, the Skittles site is loosely integrated with social media applications like Twitter, YouTube and Flickr. Yeah, you heard me right…I said loosely. Why? Well that’s because when you […]
A litmus test for social media experts
So I was thinking ealier today about writing something on how to gauge the true strength and qualifications of a social media expert. However, my inspiration for this post stemmed from reading Geoff Livingston’s blog posts on social media carpetbagging and tell-tale signs that you have a strong social media consultant and after further reading […]
SEO and Twitter just don’t mix.
Earlier today I received a tweet in my timeline from Adrian Chan who posed an interesting thought. If Twitter went the way of Google and decided to find a way to optimize tweets so that they could be found easier, how would we SEO them? Well I think that’s a wrong way for Twitter to […]
