11.30.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

A little over a year ago I was breathing fire over Facebook’s new rules for promotions. Ask them permission before running a contest? No more “leave a comment to be entered to win…” hi-jinx?

Because the whole concept of “influencer” based on stuff like Klout or stupid tools like Vitrue’s Social Page Evaluator is absolute BS. Anyone can have a […]

Vote for Mizz Information in the Mobbies?

11.03.2010 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

So you know how I hate lists and the popularity contest that is social media. But I am admittedly intrigued at the possibility of actually being on a list for once…the Baltimore Sun‘s Mobbie awards for Maryland’s Outstanding Blogs. Want to help this C-Lister find out what it feels like to be on a list […]
