Thank You
Thanks to everyone who attended my Social Media Lunch & Learn today at the Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls. We had sixty local businesspeople in the room, which is more than I could have ever predicted. Putting that talk on was one of the highlights of my fledgling professional life, so thank you for being a part of it.

Owners are understandably concerned when a scathing customer review sits atop their profile, as the voice of one individual could drive away countless others. How do they deal with this? I’m sorry to say...

Getting Started With Social Media? LISTEN.
If I controlled the Internet there would be a mandatory disclaimer on every social media site. You would be vetted as soon as you clicked that first link and we would know you were joining as a business. We would smell it on you. This disclaimer would be the most obnoxious clash of pink on yellow and it would fill your screen. In blinking letters it would scream “Social media is about...

Gowalla / Foursquare
kirbypuckett:
I am addicted to both Gowalla and Foursquare! My only complain with the two social networking games is that not enough of my friends are using them. If you’re unfamiliar with the two, here’s the jist of it…
