Twitter Losing Trust

December 18th, 2009 at 11:39 am » Comments (2)

I was going through my feeds last night and funneling all of my reads as I tend to do in the evenings and sharing some of what I found to be interesting to my community through Twitter.  This is becoming more and more of a habit with me as I tend to pour through a [...]



Facebook Acquires FriendFeed – Twitter Beware – Google Looking Over Shoulder

August 10th, 2009 at 8:32 am » Comments (4)

I just read the news about Facebook acquiring FriendFeed.  Many are already shouting "game changer", but not really.  Facebook already has the huge networking, but it does make some ground on the folks at Twitter as a microblogging or communication tool.  I talked a while back about FriendFeed’s new look and feel making it seem [...]

I was just reading this morning on Techmeme the various sites that are discussing the closing down of the URL shortener service Tr.im.  I then came across a post written by Robert Scoble called, "Twitter’s platform shortcomings."  I have written a number of posts about Twitter here and we are seeing the company mature and [...]



How Is Your Handwriting?

There is something to say about getting a handwritten note in the mail. It may go back to the day when I was a young boy and we actually walked a mile to get the mail and it was so rewarding just to find that you had a letter from someone.  My mother would read [...]



A Test For Monetizing Your Blog With Qumana

April 16th, 2009 at 1:10 pm » Comments (1)

As a social media consultant, I don’t actually rely on ad revenue from my blog, i.e. Google Adsense or the like to pay my bills.  If I did, I would have gone back to working in the law as I was before.  I am helping out the folks at Qumana, the blog editor I am [...]



Social Media and the Child of Television

I have always been a child of television.  I was born at the height of when television broke on to the scene as the next big thing, and I was doused with it’s essence from day one.  To that end I have some things that are a part of my DNA I believe that makes [...]



New Media Marketing? Is it taking a backseat?

April 9th, 2009 at 11:59 am » Comments (1)

Just reading over at Profy and Svetlana Gladkova asking the question, "Twitter is a Popular Marketing Tool?".  The analysis is interesting on Svetlana’s piece and I think you should read it.  The thing that caught my eye was less about the written words and more about the graphic she had in the post.
 
The thing [...]

I will be speaking at Wordcamp Miami as I did in Las Vegas on "Blogging for A Living", [...]



Hosted Blogging Applications; Another Example Why They Are Not For Me

February 6th, 2009 at 10:37 pm » Comments (1)

I am constantly finding reasons why I am not a proponent of hosting blogging plans. I am a Wordpress supporter yet I don’t recommend hosting your blog on Wordpress.com, and in spite of the Google mantra of doing no evil, I tell many to run away from Google’s application Blogger. In a recent article by [...]
