Will Social Media Transform Your Business?
Well here we are a week into the new year and wondering where '09 will take us. The holidays are over and some sink into the doldrums of sugar lows and the sudden quiet that descends after all the family and friends go home. Others see this quiet time as a time to renew and [...]

Saturday, December 13, 2008
This is pretty much the last week of business for many as the holiday parties and gatherings of family and friends take over your personal life and all those year end and "gotta get it done before the holiday break" tasks take over your business time too.

Monday, November 17, 2008
One really interesting phenomenon of social media is how fast a discussion can spread through the various networks, and how the momentum of a little negative buzz can quickly become a firestorm.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Image via Wikipedia I admit it. I'm addicted to the hit TV show Mad Men. Imagine my surprise when I find the characters from the show have Twitter profiles. How could I not follow Don Draper?
