Defining Social Media ‘Expertise’

I joked (mostly) about social media expert-itis in a previous post, but if you really had to try and dig into what makes someone a “social media expert,” it’s really not that difficult of a thing to deconstruct, I mean, if you just focus on direct experiences. So…uh…that’s what I did. Well, it’s a start [...]

Voce Teams Up with Brains on Fire for Best Buy Project

When it comes to some really cool movement/evangelist work Brains on Fire has always been the agency I’ve thought of. I’ve always admired what Geno and Spike and the whole Brains on Fire crew have done. Within WOMMA they’re legends and Geno has recently rocked the NewComm Forum crowd with some great case studies. With [...]

Optimizing Videos for Search

Video search will soon rival text search thanks to the following factors: If done well, videos can convey an idea more quickly – it takes a site visitor time to thoroughly read and understand your text message, whereas a video can do the same in 3 minutes or less.  Even a candid interview (complete with [...]

Letting the Audience Come to Your Defense

In a previous post I said that not every online mention of your brand/product/service needed responding to. But in addition to there being times where it’s just not appropriate or welcome, there might be times where it’s not necessary – even when an article contains factual errors debatable points of opinion – because other readers [...]

Corporate Social Media Must Keep SEC in Mind

The WSJ just posted this piece today on clients Intel and eBay, but with a focus on eBay and the story behind its use of Twitter for corporate news. This was actually something I pointed to here a few weeks ago that kicked-up quite a bit of discussion (check out “How to Tweet Material News”). [...]

Forrester Says Social Media Tops Interactive Spending

So an upcoming Forrester report (for release, I’m told, later this spring) indicates growth in social media budgets will outpace all other forms of interactive marketing. Now don’t get me wrong, these numbers are all fine and good, but here’s the problem with the data: the dollars for social media programs are coming from *all [...]

Before getting into the meat of this post I want to say “Hi!” to everyone reading, especially to those who greeted the announcement of my joining Voce nation with many rounds of congratulations and well-wishes, whether it was here, on my personal blog or on Twitter. In my short time at Voce so far, I’ve [...]

The Crowded April Fools Market

Ah yes, April Fools. The day that everybody tries to do something humorous online. The two key words in that sentence are ‘everybody’ and ‘tries’. It’s gotten to be a bit of an overload though. With everybody doing something how can you stand out? It’s like releasing some insignificant tech news during CES…you’ll get lost [...]

Some Outside Perspective

Ah, the echo-chamber. Sometimes it’s good to step outside for a few minutes. Earlier this week I ran into an old high school friend. A brief chat with her provided me that perspective that we all need sometimes. To set things, up a bit: She owns a successful local business, and used to head up [...]
