Debbie Weil on Corporate Blogging

Hey, Nate posts his podcast on Blogstring, so from now on I am joining the fun. Media Bullseye’s Roundtable podcast goes up every Friday. Jennifer Zingsheim and I host the show, and usually welcome a knowledgeable and delightful social media guru, blogger, podcaster or other communications pro (and once we even had Nate!) to the [...]

Neato: TweetStats

Thanks to my lovely friend Julia Roy, I have discovered a neat little Twitter tool that breaks down your Twit usage into handy little graphs.
I really am not sure what purpose this serves, other than to make you go “I send more @s to Paull Young than anyone else by a country mile? And [...]

Excuses, Excuses

I love reading posts by bloggers who have been away for long periods, with the obligatory accompanying self flagellation.  Well, you’ll get none of that from me (evil laugh). Nor do I even have any excuses, really.
My Blogstring absence isn’t excusable, even if I were to make pitiable claims about suffering from both writer’s block [...]

Quick Link: Man vs Machine

Buzz monitoring has been a hot topic on Blogstring lately, as Nathan expanded on his recent post in a lengthier piece for my company’s multimedia magazine, Media Bullseye.
Today, Converseon CTO Jeff Doak responds to Nathan’s piece, laying out the challenges associated with machine-based sentiment scoring, and some possible solutions. I encourage you to check [...]

Which Social Media Rules Would You Throw Out?

There’s a great conversation going on over at my employer’s new publication, Media Bullseye. Chip Griffin has written a post questioning some of the widely-accepted “rules” of social media. Among the rules to refutes, the idea that transparency trumps all, and that the term “audience” no longer applies.
I agree with Chip regarding the idea that [...]

Announcing Media Bullseye

For those of you who haven’t noticed my nearly constant refrains on Twitter for most of today (and, prepare yourselves, most of the rest of the week), CustomScoop (my employer) has launched a new multi-media magazine, Media Bullseye.
Media Bullseye seeks “to provide media, public relations, and marketing professionals with news and commentary about the [...]

Try This: Mag My Pic

With a hat tip to Julia Roy for pointing this out to me, here’s a fun little time-waster for you all. Not that any of you should ever be wasting time, because that would be bad. Ahem.
MagMyPic lets you put your own mug on magazine covers. I’ve helpfully done one for me and one for [...]

This Week in Web Startups

Since this is complete crunch time before we head off to DEMO, blogging will be sparse at best for this guy. But since this week is full of news and events related to all things Web, I have to at least post a few links:

TechCrunch 40-  Starts today, and features some companies that I’ve been [...]

Social Media on the “On Notice” Board

Nate stumbled on this hilarious “On Notice Board” generator, which allows users to put people on notice, Colbert style. For those unfamiliar with “The Colbert Report” (aka: dirty hippies), he regularly rants about things that trouble him (bears, Barbara Streisand, bears) and puts them on official “notice” by putting them on [...]

Quick Link: Advice for New Media Makers

Well, I meant to have a “real” post here today, but seem to have run out of both time and steam. So, like Nate earlier, I’ll throw it to another blogger to do the heavy lifting.
Via Twitter (I may have arrived at the Twitter party dead last–well, except for the ever-stubborn Nate–but I am already [...]
