What better way to wrap up the month of October and start your Halloween weekend than to meet up with your local social media peeps? How about [...]
Take my post ideas. Please!

How Do Companies Find Their Community Managers?
It’s a new field where there are no experts; no real training for classification or certification, and it’s difficult for folks participating in it to explain how it works.
