It’s a minute too long for me, but for some reason I find the analogy in this video kinda funny. Is Social Media the new Punk Rock?
There’s a problem with the Facebook goes after Twitter debate that no one seems to want to admit. It revolves around human behavior and habits. For five years, Facebook has conditioned it’s users that the site is “safe”. In Interactive Marketing speak? It’s a walled garden. With that in mind, how many people have uploaded slightly un-PC […]
Frank Eliason aka @comcastcares wrote a great post about business cards being passe. It got me thinking. Besides an ego trip, what is the point of business cards these days? – You can find me on twitter – If you text my name to 21691 you can get all my info (I know, snazzy that I […]
This is a rant. You’ve been forewarned. I AM SICK AND TIRED of people whining, “no one’s figured out social media ROI yet.” I got news for you buddy… YES, we have. It may not be a download-able report like your display campaign, but oh yes, the ROI of social has been discovered. In case […]
I’ve been curious about where Generation Y is for quite some time. This post, has similar questions backed up with stats. I don’t get it.

Here’s my take: What I Like: Obviously, something like this is in line with Current’s existing model and/or it’s in line with the goal of their RFP. It’s been […]
I follow a lot of brands on twitter. I like to see how each one utilizes the service. As I was cleaning my following list this weekend, I checked on several of them. More than a few have fallen to the wayside. Time and again, we’ve heard, “it’s worse for a brand to start and […]
I have a dirty secret. I’m starting to like Ashton Kutcher. For a celebrity, Ashton has some insightful viewpoints about the social web. To paraphrase some of his interview with Oprah: My life is on display and not always by choice. …Instead of them [the media] publishing pictures I don’t like, I can publish pictures that […]
The other day, @jeremymeyers tweeted, “I really wish Twitter had used listen/listening rather than follow/following when it first started.” The statement got me thinking.

People are competitive […]
