The Blog-Off: Bloomies vs. Saks
Well, this is likely to be a very short post. You know why? I wanted to compare the blogs of two high-end department stores — Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue.

I’ll start by admiting that I’m a diehard Redskins fan. But I don’t play fantasy football or Madden 09, and so I came up with another way to have them battle it out (okay, virtually battle it out.)

I found [...]

I recently discovered a terrific blog feature called “Bloggers Face-Off“. Every week Daniel Scocco has 2 famous bloggers answer some quick questions, which are presented side by side. Bloggers vote for their favorite.

Multi-tasking or ADHD. The first sounds so much better, doesn’t it? Like you’re purposely taking on 18 things to do simultaneously. ADHD, meanwhile, makes it sound like you’d like to focus on one thing at a time but hey, did you see that pretty butterfly?
Whatever. Web 2.0 and blogging put the world at the speed I like [...]

Are the Blog Haters Right?
Yesterday I posted some feedback I received from a good friend questioning my recent immersion into blogging and social media. Today I heard from another friend who was stunned to hear what I’ve been up to.

So I just told some friends that I started a blog and worked on it most every night between midnight and 2 a.m. I asked for their thoughts. I heard lots of positive feedback, some suggestions, and the following comment written by a friend who is a top copywriter, creative director, screenwriter — a very talented guy. But here’s [...]

Today’s post by Chris Brogan, “Be the Bridge“ calls on people who know and love using social media to help others use. Here’s what he says:
Share the living HELL out of the humanity and the real world-ness that goes into being a blogger and a technologist and someone from the future. Because what you know WILL change [...]

Okay, so people who write are writers. Those who report news are reporters. Market products or services? Marketers.
What are people called who communicate online with people — for personal and/or professional reasons? SM’ers? SM’ites?
Or, if there’s no noun, what’s the verb? Bloggers blog. But what if you use the full array of social media services?
I [...]

Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations move over. Sure, Tony travels to every corner of the world, meets outrageous and weird people, and tastes raw eyeballs and God know what else.
Not so different from me exploring social media. One day I discover widgets, the next I claim my blog on Technorati. That night I download plug-ins, upload to YouTube, and venture into my [...]
