Looks Matter, Even in the Blogosphere

04.27.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I read an interesting post a few weeks ago but have been too busy to blog much since then; it was about how female tech bloggers are perceived differently than males. Namely, if a woman is attractive it becomes difficult to find comments that reflect on what she’s trying to say rather than how she […]

Blogging For A Living…Or Not

04.21.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

For whatever reason, I’ve come across a lot of posts lately about blogging for money–either for it or against it. I already expressed my thoughts about it; namely that for me, personally, blogging is about my passion for writing. Well, that and being able to share my strong opinions about things that I find fascinating […]

You Can’t Sell Your Twitter Account. Unless CNN is Buying.

04.18.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Call me stupid but if a person starts a Twitter account called “CNN Breaking News” and populates it with CNN headlines, doesn’t that count as “using feeds of third-party content to update and maintain accounts under the names of those third parties”? And, if it does, how is the whole thing with CNN’s million-follower contest […]

If Twitter Wasn’t Mainstream Before, It Will Be After 4pm Today

04.16.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I started writing a post yesterday about Ashton Kutcher and CNN’s contest to get to a million followers but didn’t get to finish. My point was going to be how I know it’s pathetic to get worked up over something as stupid as the commercialization of Twitter–but that it did offend my nerd sensibilities. As […]

Tweeting for Profit

04.12.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

This morning I was flipping through Website Magazine, intrigued by the cover story “Blog: Carving Out A Plan For Profit” (page 26). I get to the story and the first sentence stopped me in my tracks: “Web professionals should be using blogs for one purpose–to make money.” Excuse me? The article goes on to instruct […]

Social Media Salaries

04.08.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

About 6 months ago I posed the question “Social Media Manager: What’s It Worth To Your Association?” At that point, I wasn’t able to find any data about social media salaries at associations; at this point, I still am not really able to. More on that in a minute, though. In addition to what I […]

Death Knell for Associations?

04.07.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Back at ASAE’s Great Ideas conference in February, there was a lot of talk about social media–and a lot of talk about how social media could eventually spell the death of associations. Since I work for an association and don’t relish the idea of being out of a job, I didn’t give it much thought […]
