The Social Media Generalist
gen⋅er⋅al⋅ist [jen-er-uh-list] –noun a person whose knowledge, aptitudes, and skills are applied to a field as a whole or to a variety of different fields.

Saturday, November 28, 2009
I’m hearing it all over. People are maxed out on social media to the point they question if ANY of it has value. In many cases it’s simply because they stretched themselves too thin in the first rush of social media frenzy. You know what I mean. You find one network after the other and each [...]

It’s amazing to me how quickly new apps pop up to fill a need. Last week I listened to a good part of the 140TC conference through a site called twebevent. The site embedded the Ustream channel and allowed people to talk to each other around the program through a Twitter interface. Login to [...]

SXSWi was a huge focus for social media people of all kinds last year and I attended virtually over Twitter and live blogs. That is SO not gonna happen again. There are over 2000 presentations and panels proposed and so many I want to hear I’m like a kid in a candy store trying [...]

Friday, July 17, 2009
FriendFeed just gets more interesting every day. Some people may say it’s too hard to use or it should have more or less features, but you have to look at FriendFeed for what it’s purpose is. FriendFeed was initially a place where you could bring your social network RSS feeds into one place and share [...]

I’m very excited to announce that my book, Social Media Success! will be released late this fall (Maybe early October!). This book has been a long time coming, and I’m fortunate to have a fabulous publisher and lots of support from my family, friends and clients while I pull together case studies and information that [...]

Wednesday, July 8, 2009
I just love the fact that you can track a Korean BBQ truck, a gourmet ice cream truck and even a Sprinkles cupcake-mobile on Twitter.
