Social Media Lies Are Good For Business
This is not a post advocating for dishonesty in how companies run their social media. Instead I wanted to address something that Robert Scoble mentioned: The “like, er, lie” economy — Scobleizer Because we want to present ourselves to other people the way we would like to have other people perceive us as. Translation: I’d [...]
Your Social Media Basic Training. Where to Start.
Someone asked me yesterday to share with them where I get my news from. What feeds did I subscribe to and who did I follow on Twitter. Well I subscribe to 401 blog feeds and follow 3500+ people on Twitter and each source was manually added by me over the last 3+ years. I’ve worked [...]
You Do Not Have to be Social Media Famous
I see a lot of marketers get into social media with the goal of being the next Steve Rubel, Louis Gray, Robert Scoble, Chris Brogan or Jeremiah Owyang. Really? That’s what you want? Why?

One of the most powerful aspects of social media is that it’s a scale free network. This is the phenomena that create viral videos. People, companies or their agencies don’t create viral [...]
Why You Should Use Favorites in Twitter
I’m a big fan of using the favorite feature in Twitter. (Here’s my favorite’s page. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed) Why? Well to be honest I mostly use it like a bookmarking feature. I do the same thing with Google Reader’s Star feature. If I like something and want to share it [...]
Media Consumption: Scoble vs Rubel
I consume, filter and sort a lot of information everyday (this is an understatement) and I don’t even consume as much as some people that I know. If you look at Robert Scoble or Steve Rubel, I pale in comparison. I’ve written before about the need to build the skill of juggling the flow of [...]
