Thoughts on 30,000 Tweets

Blogger Evolution
Twitter is Changing

I recently surpassed 30,000 twitter messages. Think about that for a second. I’ve shared little bits of myself, thoughts, ideas, jokes, witticisms (less than 1% for sure), pictures, videos, blog posts over 30,000 times in the past year and change. All this from a service, from a tool, from a platform that didn’t exist a few years ago. The funny thing is that when I [...]

Is Social Media a Social Movement?

Arts and Culture
Social Media Meritocracy

We will once again build walls. But they’ll be made of glass this time, not concrete. And we’ll be able to see the inner workings of things. If a book gets published and hits bestseller status.

Arts and Culture
The World is Flat

Finding the Social Media G Spot

Social Media Experimentation
Twitter Fail Whale

I believe in something called the “Social Media G Spot.” I can’t really describe it. It’s actually quite intangible and includes a potent mix of having enough followers from enough various backgrounds that no matter what kind of content I produce or share, it it will find the right audience. The benefit of hitting this sweet spot is having the kind of followers, and enough of them, where there is always a conversation either going on, or enough people willing to engage should I decide to start one.

Farm to Table: Going Back to the Farm

Some of you already know this, but I came into social media from a rather different angle than most. I don’t come from the communications or PR industries. I come from finance.
