Social Media Fatigue
I love using social media and I really love helping clients use it for their business, but sometimes I find myself on the verge of burnout or social media fatigue. There are so many things to keep on top of, from the latest Facebook changes, to the newest location based service or the newest tool. [...]
Changes on the Horizon
It always drives me a little bit crazy with curiosity when people hint at things going on, but don’t give details. Well, today I am going to be one of THOSE people. For over a year, I have been thinking about, planning and working on a project that will bring a little more focus to [...]
Does Your Marketing Rely On Storytelling or Special Effects?
It may be because it is time for the onslaught of Summer Blockbuster movies or maybe because I’m working on my own marketing plan for the second half of 2010, but I have been thinking a lot lately about the power of storytelling over special effects. To look at it another way, I am talking [...]
My First Two Weeks With The iPad (or Yet Another iPad Review)

My Opportunity to be One of Santa’s Elves
I’m not writing this post to bring attention to what I did, but rather to prove to companies and especially non-profits that social media is an effective means to marketing and communications. Every year I struggle with what to send clients to thank them and wish them Happy Holidays. Because I struggle, it often means [...]
Some Changes Around Here
Thanks again to those that answered my call for help either in the comments, on Twitter, or in person. While I will keep doing the kind of posts I have always done, I will be trying to update the blog more frequently with different types of information including interviews with companies using social media as [...]
I Need Your Help
My blog will be 1 year old in October and I’m trying to think of ways to improve it. My intentions have always been for this blog to be a gathering place like a true roadhouse, where we can share ideas and opinions with each other to grow. I sometimes feel like I am standing [...]
