BlogWorld isn’t SXSW (and Vice Versa)
In the last few days I’ve been seeing a lot of “BlogWorld or SXSW?” type Tweets. Most of them are from folks who can only afford to attend one conference this year and aren’t sure where their money is best spent. While both BlogWorld and South by Southwest are “must attends” for much of the [...]
You Need To Be A Social Media Evangelist
I had never heard of Dan Grover until I found THIS POST on Techmeme this morning. To make his point Dan uses the example of a recent Read Write Web post that ended up being ranked high by Google under the search term “Facebook Login“. Guess what happened; tons of people clicked that search result [...]
Is Twitter Stealing Community from Blogs?
So after my post about the Social Media Police yesterday, an interesting discussion ensued. In fact, it was probably one of the better blog post discussions of my career. Except it didn’t take place here, it took place on Twitter. That in itself isn’t a terrible thing, but as a blogger, it’s sort of my [...]

I called 2009 the year of listening. Many reputation monitoring products made their hay in 2009 including Radian6, TechRigy, Flitrbox, and others. They all have listening in common. Being able to hear what is being said about you and your brand online is an important part of your listening campaign. Not only should you be [...]

Today as I was going through some Twitter links that I open in tabs on Firefox, I came across a post that someone had sent me written on Mashable. I immediately saw a difference in the way the blog looked and read and the overall scheme. I thought I was reading it through a weird [...]

As I continue to hear about problems with Twitter and conferences I think I will make this something I will be asking all of our speakers about for 2010. I am thinking that Twitter will not be anywhere near our stages unless of course the speaker wants this to be a part of their [...]
