Twoogle?

April 2nd, 2009 at 11:01 pm » Comments (3)

I am trying to wrap my had around the idea that Google may possibly be the next owner of our beloved golden child in the world of social media, Twitter.  Are we ready yet to turn the keys to the Twitter kingdom over to the folks at Google?  I have been a serious watchdog lately [...]

I have recently launched Social Mediasphere TV and added it to my list of blogs including this one and including Bloggers For Hire in the long list of blogs I contribute to and provide.  Social Mediasphere TV is an extension of the radio I was doing on Blog Talk Radio.  You can still go over [...]



Classmates Versus Facebook: The Social Network Dichotomy

January 21st, 2009 at 12:26 pm » Comments (0)

The bane of my existence currently is my ever increasing inbox of emails I need to respond to, and I am apparently only worsening the problem as I sign up for more and more social networks.  There is the wild game recipe club, the used furniture network, the parenting pull your hair out network, [...]



Budgeting Social Media Management

December 4th, 2008 at 11:25 pm » Comments (1)

Reading Marketing Profs Paul Dunay’s post regarding the company budget for social media I found it interesting specifically about the idea behind content creation. Paul states:

Ok but the real cost (again unlike the traditional media stuff) is in Content Creation to fill up those social media / new media channels – here is where the [...]

November 20th, 2008 at 10:17 am » Comments (3)

The other night I had a special and impromptu radio show talking about social media and what has become known as the  the Motrin video debacle.
During the discussion and roundtable of experts,  we talked about the idea that Johnson & Johnson, the parent company of Motrin, and more specifically, McNeil Consumer Healthcare the [...]



Winning The Web Traffic Lottery

November 19th, 2008 at 4:47 pm » Comments (2)

I continue to explain to people that this social media thing is not the quick fix, not the get rich quick and not the answered prayer or the be all and end all of business revival medicines.  Every time a story hits the Internet that gets a viral following, or a YouTube Video goes [...]



Technorati Changing The Way It Does Business

February 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm » Comments (4)

Technorati has been an icon of the blogosphere since Dave Sifry began the company to track blogs and provide bloggers with statistics and search.  It was the first thing people downloaded to their blogs, and the first part of setting up a blog.  They seem to have lost that celebrity status.  There are so [...]

I have been preaching to people as long as I remember that “We live in a Google World.  I happened upon a post today by Owen Thomas (no I’m not a Valleywag reader, I thank Techmeme) about Google and its global market share.  He refers to a chart done by Efficient Frontier Insights showing the [...]

Buried under the weight of my inbox and trying to filter the spam from the real stuff I needed to get to today, I ran across a comment on Bloggers For Hire:

Searching For A Local Business: Old vs. New

September 10th, 2007 at 12:51 pm » Comments (4)

I can remember the first time I had my name appear in the phone book after I purchased my first home.  Like Steve Martin in the movie “The Jerk”, I danced around and shouted, “I’m somebody now”.  Back then of course, I think computers were something in sci-fi movies, and the Internet had not [...]
