Technorati Changing The Way It Does Business

February 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm » Comments (0)

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 […]



We Live In A Google World

February 7th, 2008 at 10:28 am » Comments (1)

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:
I was reading around some of the posts here and I found interesting things that you guys talk about, I just made a blog […]



Searching For A Local Business: Old vs. New

September 10th, 2007 at 12:51 pm » Comments (1)

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 […]



The New Era of Social Media: The Growth Stage and Education

September 2nd, 2007 at 12:02 pm » Comments (1)

On the same vein as my lost post regarding a blogging hiccup or what I see as a new era of business blogging, we are now at a crossroad of corporate advertising, marketing and PR online.  There are many forward thinking companies that are early adopters, and especially in the technical world where technology is […]



Reinventing the Social Media Wheel

August 5th, 2007 at 8:41 am » Comments (5)

Some of the A-List has been talking about social media overload, and I for one have to join in the same complaint.  As part of what we offer as social media consultants, we provide information about the latest and greatest technology available for a company to use in their marketing, advertising and PR campaigns.  I […]

At least in our company, we get most of our client’s through Google searches done by companies looking for a blogging consultant or looking to hire a blogger for their company.  I ran through our client list to see the number of companies that have contacted us to provide a professional blogger or to […]



The Death and Perhaps Destruction of a Social Network: A Sad But True Story

July 20th, 2007 at 3:49 pm » Comments (2)

In the early part of 2005, I became a member of a social network called Soflow.  This social network was an early vision of its founders.  They could see the future and power of growing one’s profile and gathering contacts for business, and other benefits.  I thought that it was such a good idea, […]



A Product Problem is Great Blog Fodder

July 18th, 2007 at 8:48 am » Comments (0)

One of our clients have a great communication tool in their hands with a contact page on their blog.  Many people that have purchased their product can come and get information about the products they sell and the industry news and information about the company.  In this particular case, a consumer had a problem […]



Truth Can Lead To Involuntary Transparency

July 12th, 2007 at 6:10 pm » Comments (1)

Transparency always comes at a price.  Normally the price is honesty and integrity, but sometimes it can come in the form of justice and wrath.  While following along with Twitter today, Anil Dash of Six Apart provided a link to a post by Adam Kuban at the Serious Eats blog that comments on an article […]
