I love it when a friend asks me to answer questions and it just kinda naturally flows into a blog post.  Chris Brogan would be proud of me Aunt Patty wants to build more connections and she asked me how to build her profile and network.  Here’s what I told her.  Might help you too? [...]

Gowalla 3 looks pretty awesome! It’s the most significant update to the service they’ve ever released, both in terms of design and utility. Gowalla is now truly the easiest and best way to keep up with your friends across services. I think the best part is… you can now check in on both Facebook Places [...]

I’m hoping to use this product at the upcoming Xplode Conference. Looks like a very cool way to pull together all of the social media elements from the event. Check it out… Storify demo from Burt Herman on Vimeo.

We’ve been talking (at all hours of the day and night) about how to market the conference and about what really makes [...]

My wife and I have decided to both take a break from facebook for the next 30 days.  I’m writing about it here because the story has implications that run all through our personal lives & my business life.  The story has implications for your life too (me thinks).

I’m sure (and you probably are too) [...]

The title of this post came out of a phone conversation I had today with Rich Bailey from Wolfnet. We were talking about social media marketing – particularly as it pertains to real estate marketing. Rich nailed it. He made two great points. Both are required reading. I’m pretty sure that he didn’t even realize [...]

Last week I visited some friends at NAR while I was in Chicago on other business. During the visit, I learned more about what’s going on with HouseLogic.com — specifically as it pertains to tools & benefits for Realtors. This morning, I heard a radio ad spot on Atlanta radio about HouseLogic as well. It [...]

So, as you might imagine, a lot of this post could apply to any small business, etc.  But, I wrote the title & the post for non-profits for two reasons: #1.  I think we should all be doing more to help our cause — whatever our cause might be. #2.  A friend asked me specifically [...]
