  • Gamification: a grab bag of tactics

    Let's face it, most people don't have a strategy to 'gamify' their marketing. They just want some cool tactics to slam onto their Facebook page. So here they are. (Thank you to the Houston Social Media Breakfast, which I do not attend, but they keep up with these things and share them with us. So…

  • New stories for old objects

    People crave simplicity and stability, but the world doesn't cooperate. Our stories try to pin things down for us, but we have to eye them critically. New meanings are being made every day.  NY Times: Opportunity on Madison, 2011-Jul-29, by Holland Cotter …objects do move. They aren’t static. They never rest. Physically they’re changing, degrading,…

  • Trying to decide whether I need some new stuff, or if the old stuff will do. #li

    One of the truisms of the advertising business is that the advertising manager gets sick of an advertisement long before the target audience does. Guess I'll have to sit tight.

  • Thought I posted to the blog today. Apparently not. Too many balls in the air.

  • Looking forward to reviewing some of my work with a friend today. #li

    I decided to get some feedback on my biography before posting it. I'm becoming more certain about how things on my home page ought to look. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something before it's set in cement.

  • How to avoid being exploited on the internet

    When my teenage children started using social media, I sat down with them at the computer and showed them horror stories. When my daughter started using sexually laden images in her artwork, we talked about how other artists have had their work pirated by pornographers.  If you enjoy sharing your life with Twitter, Facebook and…

    Trends that could trip you
  • Been a little off my routine for the past couple of days but many threads are starting to come together. #li

    As I make many structural changes in my business and my life, I've been trying to cling to a routine to stay on top of everything. Fell off the horse this morning but back up, and things are starting to look much better.

  • The problem trying to connect with so many people is that I feel suspense about getting answers

    Several people responded to my inquiries today and I got a couple of projects kicked down the road, but I'm because I've ended up with so many 'open items.' Sigh, David Allen warns about this!

  • A Facebook page is more than a list of fans

    Participating in Facebook usually requires a separate content strategy because what works on blogs and newsletters just doesn't work on Facebook. As long as it's monitored, Twitter runs pretty well just carrying headline links to quality content. But if you cross-post those items from Twitter to Facebook, your posts will probably be ignored, then become invisible…

    Heart on your sleeve
  • Today seems to be a day for connecting, reconnecting with people. I’m live on Twitter, Google+, Facebook,… #li

    Today I'm trying to keep all the channels open as I work. I know that I'll be able to focus and continue working, but I'm curious to see if I lose track of any of the channels. Sometimes it's convenient to be an introvert!
