Why I Will Never, Ever Use Facebook Places

08.29.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

It’s simple: because I hate how much of my life Facebook already owns and has control over. Facebook is now worth $33 BILLION–all because chumps like me are willing to share their lives with the world and Facebook gets to sell us out. Why the hell am I going to give them one more piece […]

Social Media Success is More Than Skin Deep

08.24.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Augie Ray from Forrester wrote an awesome post about the difference between social media success and social media marketing success.

As I blogged about in my guest post on the SocialFish blog, I didn’t go to ASAE’s annual meeting, which is going on right now in LA, and I’m plenty bummed about it. All my (imaginary, per my kids, who think the people I “know” from Twitter are mere figaments of my imagination) friends are […]

It’s been pretty quiet in here for a while now. That plus it’s summer, it’s Friday, and I’m enjoying the last few hours of quiet before my kids get home from being away for a week. What better time than now to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes: the blog rant. Inspiring this week’s […]

Will Social Media Sites Replace Websites?

08.13.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

So an article in Advertising Age yesterday asked the question “Do we still need websites?” Facebook is killing your website. Coke is migrating its campaigns from branded sites to community platforms. Delta is selling tickets on Facebook. Who needs a website anymore, right? OMG, WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Consider this quote from the AdAge article: […]

Rant About Listservs That Don’t Accept HTML

08.09.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I was out of the office on vacation last week and made a concerted effort not to check email or do work while I was out. Nice while it lasts, but brutal coming back to over 2900 unread messages. (I do social media monitoring via Twitter and other searches, hence the huge number of messages.) […]
