Use as Many Channels as You Can

August 18, 2010

I recently learned that all four of my siblings and my mother read this blog on a regular basis. This is especially strange to me not only because I am the youngest of the bunch but because of how they each find their way here. Small Sample….but. I was a little surprised that Mom and [...]

Blog Comments or Sharing via Twitter and Facebook?

August 9, 2010

Blog comments aren’t dead any more than newspapers are dead. Until Twitter and Facebook became so big, blog comments were the only way to express your pleasure with a post. Now, sharing the post via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or other social media channels is a snap. Justin Levy weighs in. I recently read Justin’s post, [...]

Inner Circle of Friends

August 2, 2010

I’ve got this friend named Twitter, she’s pretty much awesome. Even awesome friends push you away sometimes. It’s OK, she’s in my inner circle of friends and in no time we’ll be best buds, hanging out together again. While Twitter and I “take a break” I’ve got this other friend LinkedIn. Oh my gosh he [...]

Human Networking 2.0

May 26, 2010

In the social media community we talk about having an audience of one. I see Human Networking 2.0 as having an audience of “one at a time.” Twitter is just talking and Scott Stratten reminded us of that recently, at the #unGeeked conference.

Planning the Social Media Way

May 22, 2010

Planning sales “events” with social media while similar to the traditional sales model is not the same. During the #unGeeked conference last week I got a glimpse of the HubSpot social media sales funnel. Sales will always be about the funnel. What changes is how the funnel gets filled and in my case how the [...]

A Twitter Tale of Two Scotts

May 14, 2010

Yesterday Scott Stratten made a comment during his #unGeeked presentation, he got on Twitter to meet other awesome business people. Catch that?

#UnGeekedelite edition

Late last night I worked out details that will allow me to attend the #unGeekedElite conference in Milwaukee next week.

The list has to start with @ThatWoman_Soho, without whom this conference would have never happened. [...]
