More Mobile Social Proof Points

Rohit has a good post detailing a milestone of sorts in mobile’s maturity. Influential Marketing Blog: 5 Terms That Signify The Future Of Mobile [...]

Corporate Social Media Backlash: The Virtual Firewall

In December I predicted that over the next 5 years we would see intranets begin to integrate with social networks. I’ve seen some signs recently that this might take longer than I anticipated (but trust me it will happen). The intranet is a metaphor for corporate control. Intranets are secure networks of communication. Employees can [...]

Company Forces Employee to Delete LinkedIn Profile

Due to the recent FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc) ruling (see below) I will have to take down my LinkedIn profile. The finance industry is so far behind [...]

Social Media is Just a Big Game

Facebook Takes on Google Reader: Who Said RSS is Dead?

Man, this ain’t my social media, this is a cell phone. Duh! The ROI of putting your pants on: In [...]

Facebook is the Mashup of My Life

This post was cross posted from my hyperbored blog but I thought it was applicable here too. As Facebook has grown to become the dominant social network a strange thing has happened: My World’s are colliding. Some people are uncomfortable with the mix of personal and work life that Facebook has come to represent. That [...]

You Need Your Own Disclosures Page. Here’s How.

If you publish content (whatever that may be) about the industry you work in, I think you have an ethical obligation to disclose any potential conflicts. It is not practical to disclose conflicts of interest in every tweet, blog post, location check in and Facebook status update. You’re going to miss something sometime. So I [...]
