Run a blog? You’re a Community Manager too!
So you’ve got a blog, or maybe a Facebook page, or another profile on a social network or new media site somewhere out there. Do you regularly post or update it? If so, it’s likely you have a community around it, whether or not you realize it.

Being among friends, meeting for breakfast, talking about changing the world.
Finding A Path
I’ll warn you up font – this post is pretty much a rant about the blogosphere as it is today. Read on if you want.
I think I have it – the reason I’ve been blogging less these last several months.
It’s the stress. The stress of debate, of the times, of confrontation. That’s what I [...]
Take my post ideas. Please!
Sometimes I spend time just generating ideas for blog posts, and they make it into this list or that notebook (though you couldn’t tell by my current lack of posts ;). While I can’t claim this idea is original, I do indeed want to share this list – I’ll probably not use them in the [...]

Goodbye Facebook
Ok, I’ve meant to do this for awhile, but I can’t see any reason to wait any longer.
I’m abandoning Facebook.
Try as I might, there is just nothing of value in Facebook for me. The groups are the only redeeming item on the system, but you have to put up with tons of senseless [...]
