I spend a pretty fair amount of time in the social media universe. While I spend time talking with folks through digital mediums, I also spend time talking to people in the face-to-face realm. So what happens when your face-to-face time increases and, as a result, your access to the digital world is … [Read more...]
WordCamp Detroit Takeaways
I find it useful to turn notes from attending conferences into a blog post of takeaways. This is not meant to be a roundup of the entire two-day conference. It's just those things that caught my interest and that I plan to follow up on in the next week or so. I've tried to provide attribution where … [Read more...]
Do Mom Bloggers = Renaissance Women? – Jim Says
Yesterday when Shelby tackled this topic my first thought was that the renaissance has not just been for women.

Five years later, my memories attending as a third year RIT student are much clearer. I've attended the print … [Read more...]
New technology manifesto: How USA Today killed newspapers
On a recent business trip, I actually picked up the USA Today outside my hotel room door instead of stepping over it as I normally do. We had a long flight home and I thought I might find time to flip through it. To say I was sorely disappointed with this once great paper would be an understatement. … [Read more...]
3 Favorite Blogging Tips and Tricks
If you are a one-person "blog as a business," then it's likely the writing part of the blog is the easy half of the equation for you. For many, the technical side of running a blog can be far more challenging. I've got a tech background and often find this to be the case. My three favorite blogging … [Read more...]
Why being on Google+ matters to your blog today
Take a look at the image with this post. After only two weeks, Google+ is the number two traffic source for JimRaffel.com. In that same two weeks, I have about the same number of connections on Google+ as it took me several years to reach on Facebook. If you don't want to miss out on traffic to your … [Read more...]
How Inclusion on AllTop extends your reach
More than a year ago, I applied to have this blog included on AllTop, which is an online magazine rack. About two weeks ago, I heard back that I had been accepted and added to the printing AllTop.com page (scroll all the way down the page and you'll find me over in the right hand column).
