Being there
As data networks facilitate higher speed connections, remote experiences have become richer. Later this month, college basketball fans can watch March Madness live at their desks instead of having to constantly refresh a scoreboard page or linger in the break room where CNBC has been anonymously switched to CBS. But for me I’ll always remember …
What you can learn from Forrester’s new blogging policy
I’ve been following the discussion around Forrester’s new blogging policy.

Social Business in 2010

This year, reflecting a shift in where we see the space heading, Dachis Group launched Social Business Imperatives 2010. As we wrap up 2009, I want to highlight some areas where our business will be focused …
A conversation with Gary Vaynerchuk

He’s on a PR blitz to promote the release of his new book “Crush It.” If you’re not familiar with Vaynerchuk, he’s a self-trained wine expert who has used social media, online video in particular, to drive exponential growth in …

Its goal: helping organizations improve value exchange among constituents. Social Business Design uses a framework of four mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive archetypes: ecosystem, hivemind, dynamic signal, and …

I applaud Todd Defren and ShiftPR for sharing their work on the social media press release. Nielsen Online offers free use of their industrial-strength brand monitoring system through Blogpulse. We celebrate …
