Social media friends vs Real life friends
Or better named: Why I avoided joining Facebook in the beginning. When I started my social media strategy (blogging, twitter, linkedin, etc) almost a year and a half ago, I avoided adding facebook into the mix. It wasn’t until about 8 months ago that I finally became part of it. Why? Because none of my real friends were on twitter or linkedin, and definitely none of them read...

Style Week OC – Twitter, blogging and fashion
Last month at the Peppino’s Tweetup, @JGPR (the PR team behind Style Week OC) invited OC tweeters to attend the event as media. There were limited passes, and those who were really wanting to go would be able to get passes. So why was this so important? First, the fact that Stacey Ellis of Style Week OC listened to the PR team and was willing to...

How taking a day off can make you better in business
Take a day off. No, I am not talking about ditching work for the day to spend it at the beach, I am talking about taking a day off from social media/email/technology communication tools and have real conversations. (Although the beach does sound more fun!) Kneale Mann wrote a great post that talked about comparing the time you spent talking virtually vs time spent talking to real...

Sharing some favorites
I absolutely love blogs, the way that it is so simple to subscribe and get it in whichever rss feed you choose (or by email!), the customization, the fact that they always have new information, and the multitude of topics. What I don’t like is old but great articles are not always easy to find. First, even with a ‘most popular post’ widget on the sidebar,...

Can a local company break me of Starbucks?
I am an extremely hard to surprise person. Companies really have to go out of the way to impress me, but when they do, I am more than happy to share my experience. This is the case with my recent interaction with Portola Coffee. A little over a month ago, I was on twitter complaining about the lack of coffee in my system. Within a few...

How would you go about getting a sponsor?
All the big players in the blog world are getting sponsors to go to BlogWorld and New Media Expo 2009 – or in other words, a company is paying for their trip/hotel/etc so that they will get press and someone talking about them the whole trip. I like to talk. I have a blog. I am interesting and would promote a product well. But, I am not...
