Voce Does BlogWell 2008

Yesterday, we attended GasPedal’s BlogWell event at the San Jose Convention Center to get some fresh insights on how big companies are already using social media. Nick Ayres from Home Depot summed up the crowd’s sentiment best when he said: “This conference pretty much shows me that we’re no longer asking IF there’s value in [...]

Alright, so despite efforts by some to paint and position social media work as radically new and different, if you take a minute to strip things down, there are still traditional marketing mechanics underlying most social media programs — much of which can be distilled down to simple push-pull tactics.

New SEC Rules Put Pressure on Companies to Innovate Financial Disclosure

The SEC announced that they are approving under certain circumstances company websites and blogs as meeting public disclosure requirements under Regulation FD. Cause and Effect This announcement will spur a fresh round of innovation. There’s a mini-boom on its way just like what happened with companies touting Sarbanes-Oxley solutions.

BlogHer 08: Schwag and Gifts and Giveaways (oh my!)

I have been to many trade shows over the years, from the glitzy (CES) to the dorky (WinHEC) to the niche (Webmaster World). I have managed booth-duty, staffed press briefings, and tracked down press and analysts on-the-fly. And at each of these shows, I typically avoided the lame-ass schwag bags handed out to attendees.

Revising the BusinessWeek Blog Story

Stephen Baker and Heather Green have been working on revising their 2005 cover story on blogs. They’ve wisely expanded from blogs to social media. They’re asking their readers ‘how’ social media is changing business. I have some more in-depth thoughts on this which I’ll post shortly, but for now how about these for starters: 1. [...]

A Brief Observation on Shock

I fell in love with the blogosphere a few years ago. Here was a place, an environment, where it seemed that people freely shared and exchanged opinions and ideas, and in many ways was like a free-for-all graduate school program – lots of passion, lots of idealism tempered by a healthy dose of reality, and [...]
