Steve Rubel has a thought provoking post this morning about the wax and wane of Internet and social media-based careers (ooh is that a spam-bait intro or what!) saying that several “specialist” jobs are doomed for the dust bin.
In many ways, he has a point. We will be expected as part of our jobs to […]
A lot has been made of late about how discussions and conversations have been moving from forums, to blogs, to Twitter, to Facebook, to this site, and that site. The problem is, then, how do you track them all?
I want to be a part of conversations about the topics I am interested in, but I […]
One of the key parts of social media that we often forget about is the social part, but beyond that we also forget the key parts of observing a community and how to learn from it. Brian Solis penned a post today that is right up my alley, talking about the sociology and ethnographic portions […]
WordPress is the bloggers platform of choice and with its array of plugins it can do nearly anything. The WordPress Multiuser plugin BuddyPress let you turn a standard WPMU install into a powerful roll-your-own social network, now this plugin has been pulled into Automattic.
What I didn’t realize (doh!) was that BuddyPress was developed by […]
It’s always good, crucial I think, to read what other people think about your panel. I usually think it has gone well, but always hard to know if you’ve hit the mark. In my wrap up post, I focused on us not being able to give the “magic formula” for people. Joe Tech got some […]
Back home now from Affiliate Summit and I’m still processing what I learned. Some of our pre-conceived notions are correct. There are some affiliate marketers who are just out for the quick buck and don’t care about how it’s done, however I feel that they are in the minority of folks.
I also know now that […]
Even though there is no WiFi in the conference hall, I could not pass up live blogging Jason’s keynote. Sam Harrelson is also live blogging…he has WiFi cause he’s staying here at the Rio.
We’re second row centre in the “blogger row” … sweet eh? Steph Agresta is the “hostess with the mostest” and keeping us […]
David Baines wrote an article in the Vancouver Sun on Saturday about GiveMeaning. From the quick skim I did and Tom’s response, it sounds like David is raising questions about financial disclosure at GiveMeaning. This is an excerpt from Tom’s response:
Nevertheless, his main contention is that GiveMeaning Foundation has spent more money building the GiveMeaning […]
Next week I’ll be at the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas. Yeah, no I won’t be gambling. I would like to ride that roller coaster on the top of the building though. Regardless I’m on what is going to be a kick-butt panel talking about social media to affiliate marketers.
How kick butt? Check out who […]
I attended the first mesh back in 2006 (still have the t-shirt too!), but missed last year’s mesh. I don’t think I’ll make the same mistake twice. The dates were announced on the mesh blog and on the blogs of the organizers Mark, Mathew, Rob, and Stuart. While the conference itself is sure to […]
