I left DC on Monday to conduct a workshop for IABC/Houston. After getting back, catching up on work and then my Reader, I found there was a whole lotta stuff I’d been missing out on.
Where have I been?!
If you find yourself in the same predicament, have a read.
1. The hitchhiker’s guide to tracking website engagement, by Petri Darby for Convince & Convert.
Why: Petri had me at, “There is no one metric or set of metrics that will work for every organization.”
2. Advisory: Google+ begins booting brands, by Geoff Livingston and Danny Brown.
Why: commonsense.
3. I am already sick of Google+, by Jen Zingsheim at Media Bullseye.
Why: tell me you’re not secretly nodding your head.
4. The challenge for selling B2B isn’t packaging (@rdempsey), over at Erica Allison‘s blog.
Why: typos notwithstanding, I really like the way Robert gives concrete suggestions not just in his post, but in the comments as well.
5. The making of a social media slut, by Mark Schaefer.
Why: like it or not, Klout is here to stay.
6. Social media, thin skins and minions, by Mark Story.
Why: apparently I missed out on quite the social-media-storm-in-a-teacup while traveling this week!
7. Rethinking the definition of media placement, by Brandon Andersen for the Cision blog.
Why: especially for those of us who are fixated on “media placement,” this is a good read as to translating that obsession online (note, I’m not going as far as to talk about “measurement,” but this is a good way of looking at it.)
@bdorman264 Bring it on!
@Shonali Let me know if you want to share any bad stuff; I know where to find it…………..:)
@darbydarnit Yes it can. :)
@shonali Glad you liked it. Thx for highlighting it in your blog. Glad we finally connected. The Internets can create real friendships! :)
@darbydarnit Your post was really a great read, thank you again for pointing me to it.
@bdorman264 You hit the nail on the head, Bill. :) Glad you noticed some new faces; I think I’ve been sharing a lot of (good) stuff from the same people for a while, and I need to break out of that.
Oh, so your out and then want us to read all this while you catch up, huh? Ok, I guess I better take a look because I see some new faces………….welcome back!
Social media storm is putting it mildly. Who was the baseball player who said, “Love me or hate me..just know my name when I come up to the plate”? Oy.Vey.
