This week I attended Exploring Social Media Boston (well, Burlington, but don’t get me started about the commute.

On Tuesday October 5, I attended the Monitoring Social Media Conference in Boston, and was honored to be asked to speak. As I suspected that many of the speakers would be focused on measurement and the tools we use to monitor, I decided to stand in among them all and concentrate on what needed to [...]

On September 14 I had the pleasure of speaking at the 140 Characters Conference in Boston, conceived and hosted by Jeff Pulver. I was fortunate to be invited to speak to the crowd of 400 – my topic was “finding your voice.” In a nutshell, while we love to measure followers, engagement and content, the quantitative data [...]
