Facebook vs TV
As you may know, I am a big ‘fan’ of facebook. Someone recently made a snarky comment about the time that I spend on facebook. I admit that I laughed, and rolled my eyes (believe me, considering the context, it was worthy of an eye roll:) First, I will say that things are never as [...]

Today I am enjoying quiet “everyone else is still asleep” time. As always, I am planning my week and simply having some ‘me time’. I felt compelled to detour and write this however, as it is SO important! The world has changed. Have you? As I speak to people and groups, I am often astounded [...]

Social Marketing in 2011
There is still a lot of confusion around this ‘brave new social world’ that we have evolved into. “Social Media for business, using social media for business”, etc are searched everyday.
