June 7, 2010 By Jim Raffel 10 Comments

If you are a blogger, this topic is bound to catch a little corner of your brain every now and then. It's also one of those questions that if you asked 10 bloggers you'd get 11 answers. There is no right amount of blogging. There just isn't. I try like heck to post once a day either here, or on the … [Read more...]

Want to know the secret to making this list? Read on young Jedi master. It starts in my "mentions" column in Hootsuite. It's all about interaction and engagement.

Unplugged on my Birthday

April 13, 2010 By Jim Raffel 7 Comments

Today I turn forty-six (and still feel 26). Following are some unplugged thoughts I had this morning. Warning this post is probably rated like PG-13. I decided to cuss a little like I do in real life. 1. I want world peace (no really I do). On my birthday even I get to be idealistic. I spend the … [Read more...]

I now have more than 140 characters to share with you what is so fantastic about the people I recommend you follow. The other part of my sinister plan is to … [Read more...]

Fast Failure Breeds Success

March 30, 2010 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

That idea you have, try it. Develop a quick plan, with low cost and get a prototype whipped together quickly. Is fast failure really easier in the software world? I read a story years ago about the first Palm Pilot prototype being carved from wood and carried around by the inventor. He pretended to … [Read more...]

Idea Factory

March 25, 2010 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

Setting out to produce 31 posts in the month of March has resulted in the unintended consequence of turning me into an idea factory. Napoleon Hill wrote about the importance of ideas in Think and Grow Rich. His premise, which I share, is that you become what you think about. I think about helping … [Read more...]
