“So How Did You Get So Many Followers On Twitter?”

January 5th, 2009 at 11:57 pm » Comments (2)

I have been asked that a number of times and I have a specifically crafted response, “I follow everyone that includes social media expert in their bio.” The response has a certain tongue in cheek quality to it but it has more truth than anything else. Yes it is true, like falling out of boat [...]

December 8th, 2008 at 11:38 am » Comments (1)

One the best referrals I get from Google is my post on Google as a Lead Generator. I get many leads as a result of people simply searching on Google for the services I offer. I recently found others that are using online tools as a lead generator as well. Twitter.

Social Media Tools Like Twitter Can Be Tough To Implement

December 4th, 2008 at 10:30 am » Comments (1)

I struggle to help some companies not in the cool kids group get the traction they deserve and help with with the use of tools just like Twitter, which brings us full circle to my point (we had to get there sooner or later). … I get many people that follow me on Twitter and when I go to their twitter page they have perhaps 10 updates in the last 6 months or even not at all and they have 3000 people they are following and have about 100

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 [...]



Can You Be Found? Social Media Helps You Get Noticed

November 12th, 2008 at 9:37 am » Comments (0)

I was just reading a recent research article on the idea that nearly 80% of adults have purchased something online [pdf of report] in the last 6 months.  I at first questioned the idea that I was in the group of people they refer to, no not because I am not adult, although that [...]

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 [...]



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 [...]



Scoble is King Leonidas on the Attack of SEO

August 28th, 2007 at 2:07 pm » Comments (2)

As I finished up the three part video series that Robert Scoble produced, I had to chuckle somewhat at what appeared to be the beginning of a battle not too unlike the recent movie 300 regarding the Xerxes battle with King Leonidas. I have been reading the responses throughout the blogosphere and I have a [...]



Social Networks: Has Big Brother Arrived?

August 8th, 2007 at 1:49 pm » Comments (1)

For some time, I have been wondering about all of the data that is exchanged on the Internet between individuals and companies and what is being done with that data, and where it is being stored and what it is being used for and who has access to it.  At the risk of sounding [...]
