The medium is not the message

In the wake of the London riots, British Prime Minister David Cameron is pointing a finger at Facebook and Twitter as the culprits, and he’s “summoned” them along with the makers of the Blackberry “for a meeting to discuss their roles during the violent outbreaks.” He wants to ban anyone from social media who appears [ READ MORE ]

Twitter Etiquette / The value of sustained relationships

So if you haven’t hung out with or called a friend in six months or so, it probably wouldn’t be very wise to call that friend to see if he can give you a ride to the airport. Obviously, that’s very self serving, and most people would agree that is not OK to do. Apparently, [ READ MORE ]

One too many social networks

I only get around to checking my Google+ account about once a day, and I feel like I’m neglecting it. I’m already probably spending too much time trying to stay relevant and engaged on Facebook (personal, business and band page), Twitter, LinkedIn, WordPress and Tumblr. I’ll be honest here. I’m a person who reads voraciously [ READ MORE ]

Do you ever feel like you’re running out of time, but you don’t know what for? I’m sort of in a position with a few things in my life where I’m having to wait…and be patient. Things both professional and personal. I’m such a mover and shaker that being patient can be hard. In the [ READ MORE ]

I just read the Newsweek article “I Can’t Think!” that claims the vast amount of information available to a person in the digital age overloads our decision-making processes and causes  a “brain freeze” (and no, not the kind you get when you eat your ice cream too fast). I’ve stood on both sides of the [ READ MORE ]

Viral

The way things go viral on the internet boggles my mind. Whether the twin babies’ conversation or the Bronx Zoo’s Cobra…I know why they go viral but at the same time really have no idea why they do. Or how they travel through certain media streams and among certain demographics so incredibly quickly. Or what [ READ MORE ]

Newly atwitter

In a previous confessional post, I vented a little bit about my frustrations with Twitter. Well, today I want to announce that I changed my mind. I can’t really explain what happened, but something just clicked, and I dove headfirst into the crystal blue waters of Twitter. I get it now. And I’m sort of [ READ MORE ]

Confessions of an online media specialist

Here’s the thing about Twitter: I don’t get it. I mean, I understand it – retweets and @Mentions and hashtags and Twitter parties and such. But it just doesn’t seem to work for me (nor with the demographic of my organization, but that’s another issue entirely). That’s great that it’s helping foment revolution across the [ READ MORE ]
