“Brand of Brothers: A Social Media Chorus”

Over the last couple of days, many people are asking the question: Can brands be social? The vision of social media relations, to me, sees consumers interacting and conversing with a brand. So the question becomes, what is a brand? Way back in the day, a brand was a symbol burnt into the hide of [...]

“Search Wars: The Fight For the Third Page”

Get ready to add another marketing buzzword to your list. Last week’s announcement of Google Knol launched the first bout in the struggle to control the third page. While not as electrifying as the Third Rail, not grabbing control of the third page could be equally threatening to GOOG’s quest for world-domination. For those of [...]

“From socialTNT To You With Love: A Personal Post”

If you’ve read my blog long enough, you know two of my tenets for social media marketing and PR campaigns are: “Sharing is Caring” and “It’s A Conversation.” Since so many of you shared very personal stories with me through email and Twitter for “Stick It To The Man” week, I wanted to share a [...]

Big corporations meet behind closed doors to figure out social media, while thousands of people are trying out new ideas every day.

“I’m a Binge and Purge Blogger, What About You?”

With this week’s announcement of the Blog Council’s formation (more on that on Monday), I thought it would be a great time to ask: Why do you blog? Do you blog for art’s sake? Or for Community? Maybe you are the modern day narcissist? Are you a spam bot? Or maybe you have a secret [...]
