When I was finishing graduate school, I had a choice of doing a project or thesis. I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to write a 50 page paper then. I don’t want to now either, I’m doing an internship to finish out this degree. Anyway, I decided to do a project. My project was possibly [...]
The past few days, I’ve been in class. My class has been about culture and teenagers. I’ve found the whole thing incredibly interesting. And because of being in this class, culture is what’s on my mind. Our culture is probably the one thing that is marketed to us constantly. A worldview where partying, doing crazy [...]
I’m painfully shy sometimes. I don’t do well in public settings, I don’t like to talk in front of people unless they’re teenagers, and I don’t like to talk on the phone unless I absolutely have to. Sometimes, going to places that I’m used to makes me nervous due to my shyness. Did I mention [...]
At BlogWorld Expo, I was interviewed by Network Solutions to answer a few questions that their customers might have. There are a serious of almost a dozen videos up now, with some major big names in social media, but with my ego being monstrous, I’ve only linked to the ones I’m in The whole series [...]
UPDATE: Wow! Look at their GetSatisfaction page. If you like customer service horror stories, then you’ll love this one. The Story In February of this year, our heroine, yours truly, called CapitalOne to pay off one of her 3 credit cards with this company and to change her address and phone as she had recently [...]
Here are the slides from my talk today at Webcom Montreal. I will follow with the video, if I can wrangle it from the presenters. If not, I have the notes saved as a pdf but I don’t have the bandwidth, literally not figuratively, to post them right now. Later today I promise. | View [...]
I forgot to mention to all of you that back in August I was interviewed by Jennifer Jones at Podtech and the topic was RSS:Â Making It Work Best For Marketers. I really should keep up with cool stuff like this better.
I’m preparing now for an upcoming presentation at Webcom-Montreal (note: site in French) mid-November. While I have my outline done, I am looking for a few great examples of community. I’d love to hear what you think about this. Who is doing community right? Who sucks at community?
I’m still surprised at the number of Quechup invites I’m getting from friends, business acquaintances and mailing lists. I thought that when Quechup saw the enormous flack they were taking for spamming their users’ address books, they’d fix this obviously broken invite system. However, I got another 5 invites today. At least it seems to [...]
This is one I forgot to add to my last post about great ad spots. Here’s the best Comcast Digital Voice ad. However, each of these is great, including their 30 second spots, which typically for most advertisers, suck. Note: This one has 30K views on Youtube, and it’s one of many of the exact [...]
