How Do You Rank and Do You Care?
I recently learned of a tool called Qwitter which will let you know when people on Twitter unfollow you and after which tweet it was that they did so. I am not sure I have decided whether this is a worthwhile tool to learn when you are beoming non-relevant or whether it is really just [...]

I Read So You Do Not Have To
One of the smart people I follow on Twitter sent a link to this report by Rubicon Consulting entitled “Online Communities and Their Impact on Business: Ignore at Your Peril” and I recently sat down and read through it making some notes for myself.

To The Social Media Professionals – How Do You Do It?
I am not a social media professional. Let me make that clear. I am able to run this blog in relative distance from my day to day job and I would not think that any of the opinions I express here would be attributed to anyone other than me. I recently got a chance to [...]

“Why You Should Comment Even Though I Don’t”
I could have titled this post many different things, “Are Comments Indicitive of Substance?”, “Should I Care About Comments”…I actually almost titled it “How Do You Encourage Comments?” and then realized my actual title was more truthful and what is a blog if not truthful.
So this post is a combination of all the titles but [...]

Yammer Is Perfect – For Lawyers
Most people who read this will not have had the experience of working within a large corporate law office, so I will tell you as someone with that experience it is much the same as any large corporation though I think there is obviously less emphasis on anything other than traditional marketing and now blogging [...]

Followers Are Not The Same As Having “Reach”
As more and more people enter the Twittesvere (I love making up words) we will see increasing numbers of “followers” on everyone’s list. I have a hundred and twenty something followers today but really what does that mean. I ask the question because I don’t really consider myself to have good “reach” with Twitter yet. [...]

When Did We Start Trusting Strangers?
I stumbled across this report “When Did We Start Trusting Strangers?” (it’s a large download) by Universal McCann and thought it was a real gem in terms of giving you some good insights into the way that social media, distance virtual (digital) friendships and online influence are working together. The report offers some really nice [...]

The Social Press Release – From Zero To Hero
If you work in marketing or public relations and are not already using social press releases – either instead of a wire press release or in conjunction with – then this is indeed your wakeup call. From what I can tell the social press release came about pretty much by happenstance. I mean no major [...]
