How Will 5 More Years of Recession Affect Social Media?
I’ve been working in New Media/Web 2.0/Social Media for 7 years now. The first 3-4 were pretty rough. It was hard to sell in the vision that many of us saw. The last 2-3 years has been amazing. Companies are practically falling over themselves to implement social media. It’s a bit counter intuitive that the [...]
When Social Media Stops Being Shiny
We’ve made it. This is the place we all wanted to be. The social media war is over. Aren’t we all excited now? Social media has made the big time. We’ve crossed the chasm, we’re mainstream, people are finally taking us seriously. We were right and they were wrong. Maybe because it’s the end of [...]
Digital Agoraphobics and the Digital 3rd World
To say that we live in a hyper connected World is a gross understatement. Some research suggests that instead of the 6 or 7 degrees of separation between everyone we have lived in, current research suggests that it may be as few as 3 or 4. But it’s nothing compared to how connected we will [...]
The Evolution of Society, Madness and Social Media
You have probably heard about Nicholas Carr, or if you don’t know him by name you may be more familiar with his, much talked about article, Is Google Making us Stupid. Carr, a long time tech writer, knows how to get a rise out of the tech audience, that’s for sure. Carr turned the article into a [...]
The Mobile Social Media Developments That Really Matter
We live in a bubble. A shiny bouncy little digitally happy/snarky bubble. Does it really matter which operating system, mobile phone, app market, browser or cloud service has the largest market share? Not really. What the various companies do with that market share is only slightly more relevant. What’s REALLY important is how people, not geeks [...]
The Reinvention of Retail [10 Links]
Many people may be thinking to themselves that retail is irrelevant. Don’t count retail out just yet. We are on the cusp of seeing a major overhaul in the way we experience retail. Social Media, Social CRM, mobile, geolocation and augmented reality are all coming together to completely reinvent the brick and mortar experience. I’m [...]
3 Rockstar Blogs To Read [August]
August is the blog network edition. While I normally try and focus these monthly recommendations on blogs that most people haven’t heard, this months Rockstar blogs are bigger, professional blogs but they’re not the blog giants that most people think about. In fact I’ve come to prefer these blogs for my social media, Web tech news. [...]
Forget Strategy: How do you Scale the Social Media Strategists
If you haven’t noticed, social media is kind of a big deal right now. How social media is managed at companies is radically different than it was 1 – 2 years ago. Who owns social media strategy at your business? If you’re reading this there’s a good chance you own at least own part of [...]
Are You a Leader or Lunch?
Lisa Barone at Outspoken Media asks: Why are you scared to be outspoken? It’s an honest question I hear a lot from social media practitioners. We see and experience so many great things everyday we feel bad for people that don’t actively participate and frustrated when clients don’t jump in with both feet. But much [...]
Waging War Against Social Media Purists
I had the pleasure of attending July’s sold out Social Media Club Seattle featuring the always entertaining Jason Falls. (Thanks to Eric Berto for getting me on the list.) Last time I ran into Jason was at SXSW and oddly enough I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing Jason speak. The topic of Jason’s presentation [...]
