Congressman Anthony Weiner’s recent troubles with Twitter got me thinking about how many times I’ve done the same thing. Well, not exactly the same thing; but you know what I mean: sending what was intended to be a private message (a DM in Twitter speak) as a public message (an @ message in Twitter speak). [...]

Several times in the last week I’ve observed signs, napkins and place mats that all say “Follow me[us] on Twitter[Facebook].” While I think this is great, I find it both amusing and alarming that more than half these messages do not contain the handle or URL to follow/connect with.

Most of us share silly and somewhat meaningless status updates in social media from time to time. That’s okay because if you really want to let the whole world know you’re not wearing pants, it’s actually my problem not yours. Please keep sharing those crazy status updates on Twitter and Facebook. They remind me that [...]

In the Fall of 2009 when I began rebuilding the ColorMetrix site, I remember wondering how I could get our site to show up as it now does in the image above. The answer I found [...]

March 11, 2011

Yesterday, Shelby had her say with “My social media strategy: I swear I don’t swear.” Today it’s my turn. If you read this blog regularly none of this information should com as any surprise. I’ve just compiled many of the thoughts I have about social media into an actual strategy. Shelby gets thanks for that. As [...]

Shelby’s social media strategy: I swear I don’t swear

March 10, 2011

Jim and I agree on most things concerning the social media space, but that doesn’t mean we agree on everything. Like most people, I enjoy the occasional off-color joke in a tweet, blog or Facebook status. I completely agree that while social media is a valuable tool in the business world, we don’t always have [...]
