Social Days

Thanks to my FriendFeed, I saw a blog entry from Fred Wilson about Disqus.

I decided that I need to get my own cards with my social information. Something to pass out at conferences and events with/without my actual business card. I love Hugh MacLeod‘s work (He’s @gapingvoid on Twitter). His amazing cartoons really capsulize what it’s like to work in this industry. He also has a Facebook app [...]

I didn’t know Marc – I’ve read his blog and followed the BlogNation story – but I was sad to hear of his heart attack last week and subsequent passing today. While there’s nothing to say, it sounds like he was surrounded by love, music and family when he left us. That’s something we can [...]

My Next 100 Posts : [chrisbrogan.com] Chris Brogan is a generous and prolific content producer. He is generous by nature and looks to find ways to educate and help others grow their knowledge. I know this from personal experience. Chris is focusing his next 100 posts on sharing his (and others) knowledge of social media [...]

Have you ever read a post and it stays with you – for a few days, maybe weeks? In the past few months I read 2 posts from 2 people that have really stayed with me – excited me about the forum and, in one case, got me passionate about blogging again (after a small [...]

I have a large (for me) and expansive web presence. I have two blogs (this one and Setting Contexts, my GTD blog), a Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Jaiku, Pownce, Yahoo!Mash, my Upcoming page, etc., etc., etc. A lot of these services were initiated under my jquig99 moniker. As a woman, I felt a bit vulnerable having [...]

I’m a huge fan of Marc Andreessen. His blog is one of the first things I read daily. He’s a success story from the wild, wild west days of the Dot.Boom and has gone on from Netscape to start (sell) and focus on new companies. He started Ning (with a partner) in 2005, which I [...]

A Backlash Against Facebook Applications Will Come — This is How. This came to me from my Twitter link to Scoble’s Link Blog. I’ve been following the Jason Calacanis posts (and he actually “friended” me on Facebook today – after I first “friended” him. It gets confusing.). I can understand how the “A-List” bloggers MUST [...]

I’ve just started reading “Marketing to the Social Web: How Digital Customer Communities Build Your Business”, by Larry Weber. The book talks about how he future of marketing is “a two-way street” (Amazon.com) and that you have to “communicate with, not at, customers”. I agree. Companies, especially large corporate entities, don’t own their brand or [...]
