Are you real?

April 24, 2009

Tweet Had a fantastic time today at #rebcphx. Good people, good conversations and much to be learned. Something stuck out. In the last presentation, a round table with @dpatricklewis, @chrislee, @aussieheather, @raillife, @evo_terra and a bunch of other people very interested in social media and Twitter especially, I was treated to a very cool compliment. [...]

Social Media IS NOT advertising

April 23, 2009

Tweet Read the headline again. Now repeat it. It’s PR, people. Stop putting ads up and claiming it’s social media. Don’t tell me that a YouTube video has anything to do with social media. And for the love of God, stop going to review sites and writing good reviews for the place you represent (James [...]

Enough about the celebs

April 20, 2009

Tweet Social media works because we’re all on a level playing field. We’re judged not by our fame, but what we say, what we accomplish and how we contribute to others around us. Seeing some dude being introduced as “TV’s Ryan Stiles” this morning by Scott Monty is ridiculous. Monty, seemingly one of the good [...]

Internet fame doesn’t mean a damn thing

April 16, 2009

Tweet Whiner. Show off. No shit. Really? Do you really think followers matter? Now that we have Ashton versus CNN, too many newbies to social media and Twitter thinks followers are the most important thing they can get. Shut up. Stop telling me about your followers. Big media, stop telling me how popular Twitter is. [...]

In Crow we (dis)trust?

April 13, 2009

Tweet The Obama Scholarship. Crow explaining away his PR department’s gaffe. ASU State Press not understanding that it wasn’t the snub, but rather the way it was handled, that was the real issue. Virgil Renzulli, who is apparently so bad at his job that we never heard a peep from him this entire time. Maybe [...]

Obama not worthy of honorary degree…from ASU?

April 9, 2009

Tweet First black president of the United States. Wrote two best sellers. One of the most successful persons in this country. And yet not worthy of an honorary degree from ASU. I’m not exactly sure how these honorary degrees work, but it can’t be much more than a PR ploy. Don’t tell me that it’s [...]

Can you keep up?

April 7, 2009

Tweet Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. The internet allows us to do this. We are more connected, better informed and more apt to try new things. We are smarter, more adaptable and equipped to deal with nearly anything. Problem is, not all [...]
