Why I’m Betting on Pandora Even if They’re Not Profitable (yet): Persistence, Perseverance, Pivot, Personalization [10 Links]
I love Pandora (@Pandora_Radio). I’m a proud premium member and use the service on just about every device I own. I’ve been a fan of the service since I first learned about it 6 years ago. Their ability to customize and recommend music boarders on magical. I’ve discovered more great new music from Pandora in [...]
Blog Reading Tips for Email Subscribers
I have used FeedBurner to manage this blogs RSS feed from the minute I set up this blog. An interesting quirk about FeedBurner is that it can’t tell me (because it doesn’t know) who signs up for my RSS feed via a feed reader. It could tell me when someone signs up, but it doesn’t [...]
China and Weibo vs USA and Twitter
China and the US are in a relationship and let’s just say, it’s complicated. I’m not an economist by any stretch of the imagination but I know a thing or two about changes in technology and human behavior and what that means to business models. It’s kind of what I do. Six months ago, to [...]
Online and Offline Social Networking Go Together Like Chocolate and Bacon
I love going to conferences…for the most part. Every time I get ready to go to a conference, I start second guessing my decision. I’ve gone to a lot of social media conferences. Not as many as some people, but more than most people.I know I won’t learn as much as I used to. But [...]
A Geeks Guide to Conference Going Gear
I have just finished my month of speaking at conferences. They were all great. Today’s #SM301 was especially enjoyable. One question I get a lot is about my gear bag. All the equipment I’m able to carry around in a very compact setup. So between the conference and the after conference dinner, I shot a [...]
I Tweet Therefore I Yam
I had the wonderful opportunity to speak on the Social in the Enterprise panel at Social Media 301 #SM301. It was a really good panel (if I do say so myself) and the best part is that I’ve got to speak with @lizasperling (who works at @seesmic), @themaria (who works at @yammer), @danielwrasmus and moderated [...]
Why the Button War? Because Content is Social Currency [10 Links]
With all the news about buttons I thought it was time to do another 10 Links post. Buttons (as well as stickers and patches) have been a core marketing tool for decades, possibly centuries. Political buttons are one of the most well known early implementation of button marketing. When I owned the skateboard shop in Vegas, buttons [...]
My New and Improved GTD Moleskine Hack
I’ve been using some sort of a notebook or paper planner most of my life. For the last 6 years I’ve been a very dedicated Moleskine user. I try other notebooks but I keep coming back to the Moleskine. Maybe it’s just self validation but I absolutely believe there is a direct correlation between ones [...]
How to Build a Community Around Your Company that Won’t Turn on You: The Presentation
Last Friday I had the opportunity to present at the WebVisions conference in Portland, Oregon. It was a great event and a great crowd. @sherylmaloney has a great writeup of several of the sessions she attended, including my own from last Monday. Much like I did last time I’m embedding each slide as an image and [...]
Rebirth of the Wristwatch: Forget Tablets and Smartphones, I Want A Micro Computing Device Strapped to My Wrist
Four years ago I noted that even before the recession hit wrist watches were dying. Who needs a wrist watch when every device you carry with you tells the time? I personally have not worn a wrist watch in 5 or 6 years. Most people I know who wear a watch wear one because its [...]
