I do periodic social media and Internet related segments for our local Fox affiliate, Fox 23. Sometimes they are tied to specific events such as Instagram changing its terms of service, or new Facebook “features.” Sometimes, though, they call me when the topic is timely and the need is immediate. Recently it was a story […]
Relevant Content Matters. Or So I’ve Been Saying…
Evidently, I’ve been saying it often since I started writing this blog almost three years ago. The above graphic is a wordle created from the rss feed of my blog. There’s no way to date-limit or post-limit the data pulled… what’s in the feed, or what you enter into a text block provided (handy if […]
Relevance Is The Big Idea
And I’m looking forward to sharing why I think that, what it means to you and your business, brand, or big idea, and how it’s more, well, relevant than you know. I’ll be speaking again this year at the Social Media Tulsa Conference. And I hope you’ll be joining me, Liz Strauss, Becky McCray, Cheryl […]
Is it Anti-Social Media?
This interview, done a few days earlier with me, my son James and his girlfriend Kelli, talks about some of the good and bad. I’d embed it directly, but the Fox23.com site doesn’t allow it. Sorry about that. But I’ll wait while you watch it… it’s a short segment. What do you think? Is it […]
Social Climbing, Social Networking, Anti-Social Behavior
I have been using Google + for a few days now (and no, this is not a post all about Google +) and have noticed an interesting phenomenon already. Everyone wants a “do-over” on social connectivity. Much discussion is happening around posts like, “Will you build your network differently here?” And the consensus seems to […]
Staring Down Millennial Stereotypes
This is Brenna’s second post for the blog. She is interning with Crossroads Communications from OSU and has quickly become an important part of our team. — Mandy As a part of the Millennial generation, I am constantly branded with stereotypes like I am addicted to technology, that I want to be a movie star […]
It’s Not Who You Know… It’s What You Say
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Blake Ewings’ closing keynote at last weeks’ Social Media Tulsa conference. One of the key takeaways for me was this statement: It doesn’t mean only “tweet positive” but it does mean when sending thoughts, links, info etc. out into the world, we should all be mindful of the […]
How Superbowl Ads Opened My Online World
Today is the anniversary of the day I figured out the power of Twitter. I’d joined a few months before, in November of 2008. I’d tweeted some, and found and followed about two dozen people I respected in my industry… names I knew from MarketingProfs.com or from reading blog posts or articles. But mostly it […]
On Writing MORE, Going Broke and Going for Broke
I miss my blog (and blog readers!). I miss writing. And that is my resolution for 2011…. to write more. More often. More places. Covering more topics. In more styles. Just to write… MORE. And, further, I hereby promise that many of the yet-to-be-written sentences will be longer than three words and will contain punctuation […]
How Necessary Are Your Networks?
As business has picked up these last few months, I’ve noticed my time spent online on social nets has dropped off. In some cases, significantly and in others less significant but still noticeable. The obvious reason (and easy out) is that I’m busy… working! Doing the things that earn me a living and keep my […]
