Posts RSSEase and accessibility of Facebook Causes making birthday wishes come true
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009The first time I ever got to see Shel Holtz present on social media in the fall of 2007 at Sprint, he showed a slide that said: “It’s not just for nerds in pajamas.” Fast forward and it seems like there’s a new story almost daily in the mainstream media detailing how people are using […]
KU sports scuffle offers colleges social media lesson
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Trouble is brewing in Lawrence, Kan. If you haven’t heard already, a fight broke out this morning between several Jayhawks football and basketball players. And this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
The fight in itself is disturbing, but what caught my attention was the way in which KU basketball star Tyshawn Taylor shared his feelings […]
Facebook search enhancements leave me searching for answers
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Facebook, I think we have a problem.
Ok, bad puns aside, I checked out the “new, more useful” Facebook search page and I’m wondering who it’s actually intended to be new and more useful for.
When Facebook acquired Friend Feed earlier this week, the headline was that FF’s robust search engine would allow FB to open up […]
Companies on Twitter need to hash out tagging strategy
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Justin case you were wondering…There is nothing more frustrating than searching for an answer online and not being able to find it. When customers can’t find answers, companies lose money…and often customers. Not to mention the hit their brand reputation takes.
So along comes Twitter (or any other social network for that matter), and it’s like […]
Looking back on Facebook Friday
Friday, December 19th, 2008Justin case you were wondering…Quite a few Sprint employees donated their Facebook status to promote Sprint’s value offerings last Friday. I don’t know how many for sure, but several folks e-mailed me and said they planned to participate. And when I logged on to Facebook last Friday, the majority of my Sprint friends had donated […]
Why Facebook should have conversation tagging
Monday, October 20th, 2008Justin case you were wondering…I just realized what Facebook is missing. I’m a huge fan of Facebook and I’ll usually shout from the top of a mountain — or from my chair in my cube — that Facebook is the best of the best when it comes to online social networks. In fact, I’m always […]
Status: A few words is all it takes
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Justin case you were wondering… “Who actually reads all those alerts on Facebook or Twitter?” That’s a paraphrase of a question a colleague of mine was asked in a recent meeting when her phone started buzzing with new status updates from her friends. I’m not sure what answer she gave, but when I heard about […]
Social networking vs. e-mail
Monday, June 16th, 2008Justin case you were wondering…My 22-year-old sister had 989 friends on Facebook last time I checked. Yep, she’ll eclipse 1,000 long before she’s 23 and probably even before she moves to LA this fall to pursue her acting dreams. But I digress. After all, why do you care how popular my sister is or that […]
