Do You Need a Business Blog?
*Note: For our latest information on blogging, please click here! Business and personal blogs are totally different. The business blog is an extension of your website and your corporate culture. I know, you’re a small business with just a couple employees or even just you, the owner, but your business still has a culture and personality. […]
You Just Checked In At (Insert Location Here)
The Backstory: the whole way to the restaurant (Break of Dawn), I was thinking to myself: “Yes, if I check in on Yelp today, I think I will become Duke of this restaurant.”
My New Tweeps!
Tweeps: it’s your Twitter Peeps! What I love about all the different social media channels is that all of the major channels are distinctly different in so many ways.
Can I Get a Little Love… For My Smart Phone?
I love social media. And as an extension of those feelings, I love my laptop. And my smartphone. But I’m not in love with them. I wanted to make that clear because, apparently, some people are. A new study from Arizona State University finds that people can actually be in love with their favorite devices. You can read a whole article about it here, but basically what we’re talking about is something scientists call “material possession love.” It happens when a person “becomes emotionally attached to possessions as real substitutes in what resembles a human relationship.”
Happy (Surprise) Birthday!
I think that surprises are harder and harder to pull off these days with the high use of social media, but leave it to my wife and friends to know better than to post anything on their FB pages or Twitter accounts about their plans for the evening.
Online Videos-You Ought to be in Pictures, Really
YouTube is the most popular video hosting site and is second most popular search engine; it’s also owned by Google. Vimeo is the second biggest video hosting site, but only has a fraction of the number of videos that YouTube has. We’ll chat more about Vimeo and YouTube in a moment.
Try to think of something that can’t be better explained or demonstrated with video. Go ahead, try and think, we’ll wait here….See, everything is better (or at least different) with video. Sometimes, when it’s all about the amounts of content you have out there, different, i.e. more relevant search results are what counts.
A quick video about plumbing repair makes much more impact than a document telling someone how to do it. If it’s your business and you’re camera shy, than hire somebody to do the videos, it’s more cost effective than you realize.
The Lines Are A Little… Fuzzy
I love that my social life and my social media life are becoming very intertwined. Slowly but surely, Facebook is sort of defining relationships in a way that was never possible before, and has only become a recent occurrence. When I first started using Facebook, I was in college. The university I went to was […]
