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 […]
Is It Better To Be Retweeted or Have Comments?
I’ve written over 400 blog posts since I’ve started this project and I’ve noticed a couple of things: Depending on the topic and headline, my blog posts are sometimes retweeted on Twitter. I have received a decent amount of comments on this blog – not to the standards of Mashable or TechCrunch, but a few. […]
It’s A New Adventure With A New Twitter Handle
Nearly three years ago, I started using the microblogging service known as Twitter and back then I was stuck on the fact that anonymity online played a big role in how “cool” you were. So compromising my need to have my “coolness” plus some recognition of who I was, I came up with the Twitter […]
#FollowFriday – Brands That Say It All
This is a weekly series that I’m hoping to help add some more relevance to the #FollowFriday (what’s this?) Twitter activity that originally started through Lijit’s own Micah Baldwin to help connect Twitterers with one another.

How To Use FriendFeed To Disrupt Twitter’s Noise
During a discussion that I had with Brian Solis and Shashi Bellamkonda earlier this month, an interesting topic came up that led to me to write this post.

Everyone is online using sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr or […]
‘Tis the end of Twitter’s relevance. Start racking up your numbers.

In case you didn’t know, actor Ashton Kutcher is waging a battle with television titan Ted Turner and CNN over who can reach 1 million followers first. Consequently, other celebrities that were on Twitter decided […]
Dear Google: Don’t Buy Twitter.
I ran into a good friend at this year’s Web 2.0 conference & expo here in San Francisco and while talking to her & a couple of her friends, I was asked about my thoughts on whether it’s a good thing for Google to be acquiring Twitter. My response? It should not happen. Just why […]
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 […]
