Words To Socialize By
Ever run across a phrase or two that you’ve heard that sums up things really well? Short, simple, clear points that makes what you’re trying to say much easier to understand are always worth repeating. So with that, here are a couple that I try to share with clients as they start exploring social media [...]
Happiness CCCVII
Giddy that my wife has joined my social media group of friends on Twitter.
Afraid of being cataloged online? You’ve just lost.
Sorry, but that’s the truth. If you’re afraid of sharing your opinion and letting the online world catalog and categorize you, then you’ve already lost the edge. The realities of future (read: today) is that you need to be an active part of your industry or genre, or you lose out. Want that corner office? [...]

Bye, Bye Microsoft Outlook
It’s time has come, or passed rather… at least for me. I’m sure I’ll cross paths with my favorite email client and PIM in the future. I’ll either have a change of heart (unlikely) or a future client will insist that I use it for internal email at their location (very likely).
For all those [...]
Why your blog is your social network
There are many good social networks to be a part of, but as I delve deeper into social media and personal branding I’m coming to the conclusion that your blog is becoming more important.
On your blog, you have a direct feed to your readers. Those readers can be friends as much as it can [...]
