I've been spending much of my time lately on brand management, and it reminds me of what I've always disliked about marketing. Don't get me wrong: brand management is important, and failing to manage a brand appropriately can spell disaster. But how do you go about managing your brand effectively Read More

Monday's post about Curing The Social Media Blues generated some wonderful comments. Unfortunately it also received a comment that was purely spam. There was no attempt from the commenter to even pretend he was participating in the discussion. The comment looked like this Read More

There's a great article on pcworld.com that compares the upcoming iPhone 4's operating system, IOS4, with Android 2.2 to see which mobile OS is better suited for business users. The quick comparison Read More

Friday I wrote a post about how frustrating it can be to find time for blogging (or social media in general) when other time pressures seem overwhelming. I'm thrilled at the great responses I got, and I'd like to share a few of my favorite tips that I received from readers Read More

A couple of weeks ago I admitted in a post that I don't see the value of location-based social media. There were some great comments posted on this blog and in LinkedIn discussion posts. Some had examples of effective location-based marketing campaigns (like Starbucks discounts given to Foursquare "mayors"). Many others recognized that while there may not be apparent marketing benefits yet, location-based media is fun and therefore relevant.
