Should You Blog? (yes, and here’s how …)
I guess let’s file this under sales & marketing advice. I recently wrote a piece for Mashable on how to create a company blog. Since it’s already written (and since I promised not to republish on my blog other than a summary) if you’re interested please have a read over there. I have a very [...]
Social CRM – the new rules
There are changes underway across the worlds of social media marketing, social media applied inside business (what some people would call enterprise 2.0) and where these tools connect (or not) to the business processes in (Cloud based) CRM and ERP systems. Products like Salesforce are adding Chatter, and Twitter connectivity. Enterprise 2.0 tools that started [...]
Should you put "guru" or "thought leader" in your Twitter bio?
I’m a Twitter fan from the early days (which is only about 3 years – streuth!). For me it’s a key source of trusted information, a communication mechanism, and an important way for me to extend my various, overlapping networks of interest (amongst several other things). In recent weeks I’ve seen tweets from people worrying [...]
Quik-Fire Bloggers Have a Big Happy Picnik:-)
Oops. We’ve just posted two articles on the Picnik acquisition. As first reactions to the news, they do overlap quite a bit. Apologies for the oversight, but let me quickly add, it may happen again… As we stated a number of times, we do not have an editorial calendar, assignments..etc – we simply trust our [...]

Yesterday I blogged part 1 of my report on the Social Media in the Enterprise event that Alan Patrick and I cooked up (at Tuttle) to inject some enterprise related content in to this week’s “London Social Media Week“.

Is Video a Crock? It's Certainly Not the New Holy Grail. Get Off the Screen, Dudes.
Many of you will recognize the title – borrowed from “Enterprise 2.0 a Crock” Dennis Howlett.

I kept on turning the volume [...]

Good Luck Steering the Titanic
USA Today’s (former) Travel Editor blogs her last day, after getting laid off: But what bothers me the most is what my firing represented. See, I’ve been learning all the tricks that a modern multi-platform journalist is supposed to know. In the past 22 months, I’ve blogged, tweeted, shot photos and videos, and handled speaking [...]
Scoble is Wrong When He Says He is Wrong:-) Full Feeds Still Rock
Wow, I’m sensing another TechMeme Storm rising (and a certain analyst would call it a circle j***, but that’s another matter). Robert Scoble says he was wrong when he said In 2006 he wouldn’t use any news aggregator or feeds that aren’t full text. I think the Scobleizer is wrong now that he says he [...]

There is a lot of creative destruction to industries when people, regular people, take to public forums, [...]
