Social Media Tools

Google+ and Lessons Learned

July 16, 2011

I saw a message on Google+ yesterday from the-ever on top of the newest app-Louis Gray that made me cringe. It was about an import tool called Facebook Exodus. Basically it allows you to invite your entire Facebook friends list to Google+. Of course you could pick and choose but if you’ve got a lot of [...]

Nonprofit Webinar Series – Social Fundraising

June 14, 2011

Whether you work with a grass roots organization or a humongous nonproft you know that social media can be an effective way to make your message more visible out there in the world. But just posting a video, creating a Twitter account or a Facebook page will not bring droves to sit at your feet [...]

Facebook- FBML or iFrames?

March 1, 2011

Everybody is talking about the deadline on March 11 when Facebook will no longer allow users to add new FBML applications to their Facebook page. Lots of people see this as a good thing, (including me) as FBML has lots of quirks and any coder is doing back flips to be able to design real [...]

One True Fan?

January 31, 2011

Part of my job is to try out applications, tools, networks and such so I can tell my clients if they’re worth the learning curve or a waste of their bandwidth. Frankly it’s a lot of fun and I find some really cool stuff. I also find a lot of stuff I wouldn’t suggest you [...]

October 14, 2010

Remember that little snafoo I had last month with the hacker attack on my WordPress installs? Not only did it take down my blogs but it affected the launch of the WordPress training classes I’d been slaving over. Now we’ve got a new membership management system (Digital Access Pass ROCKS the rest) and even more [...]

Scribe SEO for WordPress

July 9, 2010

I thought I knew quite a bit about search engine optimization until I found this nifty new tool called Scribe. Even though I optimize sites for search engines as part of my daily duties, it can be tedious and there is always more to learn. Unless you do this for a living it’s probably not [...]

Thesis Just Gets Better and Better

November 6, 2009

I am so stoked about the new version of the Thesis theme for WordPress. I’ve been hand coding or tweaking other themes for years and Thesis made that a whole lot easier when it came out, but this new version just rocks. Sure, you might want to do some advanced tweaking using hooks or bring [...]

LifestreamBackup is now Backupify?

October 12, 2009

Of all the silly “we still don’t get it” moments. I recently wrote about LifestreamBackup.com, a very nifty way to keep your lifestream accounts backed up. I love the service. It’s easy to use and I can back up onto my Amazon S3 account so the storage cost is tiny but I have 100% control [...]

News River – real-time updates for your favorite feeds

September 14, 2009

I’ve been using Lazyfeed and My6Sense a lot of late to find topics on blogs and authors that I may not have found any other way, and that’s very cool, but I still want to archive a list of the best blogs I want to go back to. The problem is I’ve totally swamped my [...]

BrightTalk for Webinars

September 1, 2009

I finished my first BrightTalk webcast today, and I thought I’d give you a little insight into how this works from the presenter’s side in case you’re looking for a reliable host for your own webcasts. I’ve used quite a few of these services and tested several more and I have to say the BrightTalk [...]
