What I learned from HP about co-opetition

What I learned from HP about co-opetition We like competition. We thrive on it. We pit our children against eachother in near prehistoric rites of manhood called “Little League”. In all honesty without competition I doubt the human race would exist. But what do we do when competiton doesn’t work anymore and we are driven [...]

Where are the lunch lady blogs?

Where are the lunch lady blogs? Often when I speak I like to pose this scenario: Imagine that you are on a flight home and you get upgraded to first class. Now imagine that you end up sitting next to the CEO of a big company that’s based in your home town. That company has [...]

The only thing you should be doing

I originally wrote this post several months ago and it’s taken me this long to remove the excess emotion and get it to a point I thought it was ready to post. I still don’t know if it’s ready but I feel it needs to be said. The only thing you should be doing I [...]

Layoffs help the Internet economy

One was actually re-purposed from a previous interview I had done with Lee Odden. This is a great post though it features 25 tips from a wide variety of thought leaders [...]

Do social media professionals work harder than their peers?

Do social media professionals work harder than their peers? Here’s some scary stats: * 29% of employees are fully engaged with work * 52% are not fully engaged * 19% are disengaged Len Kendal asked on Twitter “I wonder how much poor performance got disguised as “a result of the economy” this year?” I wonder [...]

A Closer Look at HP’s Community Core Team

What can Alltop learn from PostRank?

Yesterday I saw this tweet from Guy Kawasaki’s Twitter account: I can’t but help find this incredibly ironic. Guy has admitted that the tweets sent from his account which are pointing to links are actually sent by ‘ghost twitterers’. This of course raised quite a bit of debate on the issue.
