A Custom Scoop of Goodness
about 8 months ago - 3 comments
I’ve known the people at CustomScoop for a few years now. Jen and Chip (and the others who have been part of the Media Bullseye Roundtable, like Doug and Sarah…) They do good work, and have been among the few who have provided real thought leadership in emerging communications, without succumbing to hype. It’s fair
Shifting Sands Are Shafting Brands
about 1 year ago - 27 comments
I had a lovely vacation, and returned with a couple of lovely thoughts about communicating from solid ground. You know, the wise man built his house on the rock, the foolish man built his on sand (or wrote in the sky.) While there are many facets and layers to this, they all boil down to

Thanks to the internet, any crank with access can write something that spreads.

Why Does Facebook Hate My Wife
about 3 years ago - 4 comments
My Facebook experience is episodic, intermittent, and intense. I really don’t hang there much, but occasionally I get a flurry of requests from a new pack of old friends who have just discovered it and I interact with them a bit. Facebook is not my life. Recently, my wife asked me to get her started
Trust in Disaster

Social media tools are amazing, and empower so many people. I have no doubt that at this moment there are dozens of efforts underway to help people suffering from Hurricane Gustav. Blogs, Ning communities, Twitter accounts, you name it. So here’s the disclaimer. Before you give ANY personal information to ANYONE on the internet, do
Cutting Loose

My wife sent me the following in an email: Superman’s cape has bit the dust! Ryan was spotted with a pair of scissors earlier today and when asked what he was doing replied, “Cutting off superman’s cape” When asked why he was doing this the small human responded, “Because I don’t want him to fly.”
Proud and Tickled

I have to say that I am immensely proud of all the Red Cross disaster relief workers who have used New Media tools to share the word about what is really happening. You guys have really picked up the ball and run with it — and now more than ever it’s important to showcase what
