Customer care bullying no more

The Internet has truly become a great customer advocate over the years and while businesses are trying to take advantage of it to control their message and sometimes provide damage control. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell that to upper management and the folks at customer care. With companies trying to cut down on costs, chances […]

A good sign your life is too addicted to social networking

Video from Podcamp DC: New media and the new journalism

Perhaps one of the most popular sessions that I saw at yesterday’s Podcamp DC, I felt that this session was quite entertaining and it seemed to me that everytime Jim Long speaks, there’s always a huge crowd following him (similiar to Twitter). For me, this was the first time that I actually got to see […]

Podcamp DC: Integrating Social Media With Small Business (VIDEO)

One of the great sessions that I attended at yesterday’s Podcamp DC event was when social media guru, Shashi Bellamkonda from Network Solutions gave his talk on how small businesses can utilize social media to their advantage. From purchasing your domain, googling your name, and creating a Facebook fan page to much more, this 30-minute […]

Podcamp DC: Good But Not Great

For the first time in my life, I just attended Podcamp DC in Rosslyn, Virginia. Before this, I had attended Widget DevCamp and that didn’t seem like anything appealing to me and had an essence of being more for developers. However, today’s meetup, to me, was something more for developers, designers, marketers, journalists, etc. and had […]

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 […]

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. […]

Seesmic your videos on your website

Did you know that Seesmic had jumped on the widget bandwagon? I found out through Loic’s YouTube video and of course I’d love to post more videos on Seesmic (it’s a more viral network than YouTube!), but while Seesmic is still a “private” network, let your videos propogate throughout the world by having people view […]

Designing on the fly

I must say that I enjoy hearing about the latest alpha and beta invites that come through Mashable. That’s how I came across this latest find: Aviary. In case you didn’t know, Aviary is a web-based application set that is specifically targeted to those “who love to create”. When I’ve explored their website, I found […]

Sprouting content throughout the web

Creating a widget has never been easier. Just today, Jeremiah Owyang listed on Twitter some great articles on Business Week that talks about the future of marketing being widgets. And why not…widgets are the new buzzword of the year. Everyone basically has a website now and is rapidly poaching on the social network as I […]
