Association Swing and a Miss–CEA Tech Enthusiast Membership

12.14.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Last March, I got an email from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) informing me of a new member category they had just created: Tech Enthusiast. I believe the dues were $30 a year and the benefits included the following: As a CEA Tech Enthusiast (TE) member you will receive hot deals and incredible opportunities from […]

5 Predictions; 5 Resolutions

12.12.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

What would December be without the obligatory predictions post? Or, for that matter, the new year’s resolution post? I’m kicking it FIO style and combining the two into one post. Predictions: Hiring for community and social media managers will continue to rise. And confusion about the differences between the roles will persist. Burnout and disillusionment […]

Klout Still Suggesting Users Invite Minors

12.07.2011 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

So remember when I wrote about how Klout had created a profile for my 13 year-old son? And how the story made it to the New York Times? And how Klout apologized and “rolled back” the changes, and vowed they had “no interest” in attracting minors to their site, and had supposedly set up some […]

Book Giveaway: Humanize!

12.02.2011 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a giveaway? And not just any giveaway–an awesome one. My friends Maddie Grant and Jamie Notter recently published Humanize: How People-Centric Organizations Succeed in a Social World. I was fortunate enough to review a few chapters while it was still being written and was […]

Can Associations Successfully Create a Culture of Collaboration and Innovation?

11.29.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Weeding through my email this morning I happened to notice a familiar name in one of the dozens of listserv digests that I routinely delete each morning. The NTEN digest featured a post by Allyson Kapin on “Tips to Create a Culture of Collaboration and Innovation.” Allyson Kapin is super smart and “culture of collaboration and innovation” is […]

Thankful

11.23.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Lest I let the opportunity for the cliched “What am I thankful for” blog post roll by, I am muddling through my post-ASHA convention and now sick stupor to try to write a coherent post about what I’m thankful for. Since lists are easier than prose, I’ll make it easier on all of us and […]

New York Times and Other Excitement

11.16.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Remember my last post about Klout and privacy issues? Thanks to the fact that my friend Tonia Ries is a  rockstar, the story got picked up by the New York Times, so I will now be able to go down in history–much to my mother’s chagrin–as the mom who helped her 13 year old lie […]

Why I Don’t (Totally) Blame Klout for Privacy Issues

11.09.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago a friend noticed, when she logged into Klout, that her son was listed as one of the people she influences. She figured it was because her son had recently commented on one of her Facebook posts since her posts are set to public. Curious, I went over to Klout to see […]

Google+ Pages: My First Impressions

11.08.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Earlier today Google made a big to-do about announcing that the ability to create Pages had launched. Then they took it back and said that the functionality was “coming soon” for everyone, and only available now to select few. Then later they announced, no, really, Pages are live for everyone. Talk about an annoying beginning. […]

Associations’ 15 Minutes of Fame Courtesy of Herman Cain

11.04.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

So even a total political non-participant like me (read: I do not vote and think politics as a whole is a crooked, crazy mess) can’t help but pay a tiny bit of attention to this Herman Cain thing because of the association tie-in. I mean, seriously–how often do associations get huge news coverage that talks […]
