So Your Parents Found You Online, Now What?

Mobile Social Spreading, but Still Stunted

I just got my first iPod Touch, and suffice it to say that I’m officially hooked.  In fact, I’m more than hooked.  In less than 24 hours, I’ve effectively decided that lugging around a Blackberry Curve with the wonderful Touch is too much, and that I need an iPhone.  Leslie called the iPod Touch a [...]

Welcome to the Collaborative Economy

It occurred to me today that our business is now about 50% or more collaborative. What I mean by that is that we are doing more and more work with more than one agency or profession on various projects to bring more quality to each project, either for our clients or their clients.

Does Social Media Transcend Personality?

45 in 45 with Aaron Strout: Lucky # 13

I am over on Aaron Strout’s blog today as # 13 in his 45 in 45 “Experts in the Industry” interview Q&A series. I had a blast answering his questions, and I’ve had even more fun reading the other interviews as they’ve appeared. We have so much to learn from each other. This is another [...]
