Social Media Software + Silos Redux

06.29.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

This is a post I wrote for SocialFishing, but I thought I’d share it here as well. This is an issue I’m kind of obsessed with, in case you can’t tell from the post. ; ) The big thing these days is social media software–everyone wants to get into the game. Whether it’s social media […]

Why the Foursquare/AmEx Deal is the Least Likely Thing to Prove Social Media’s ROI

06.24.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Photo by Cometstarmoon I always wonder, when I read articles like these, whether the author actually uses Foursquare him/herself. Because, as someone who does use Foursquare–against my better judgement–I’m here to tell you that the idea of it being the thing that is going to prove anything other than that location based services, in their […]

Facebook Blocks Page Admins from Posting Legit Links

06.23.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I’ve blogged before about why Facebook will never replace your website, but in case you’re still thinking I’m full of it and using Facebook as your corporate website is a good idea, allow me to share yet another reason giving a third party control over what/how you post online is a bad idea.

06.13.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Even though I’m 43 years old I can’t resist announcing–it’s my birthday today. What am I doing to celebrate? Well, today, working, but tomorrow I’m taking my first trip to England. Yes, it took me 42 years on this planet to get a passport, but I finally got one and I’m going to visit a […]

Who Wants to Win a $25 Dunkin’ Donuts Gift Card?

06.07.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you read this blog, you know I almost never write about or review products–unless I just happen to be writing about a product or service just because I feel like writing about it. Once I did a review of ProFlowers because I liked their non-nonsense blogger outreach approach. I was a BitMom blogger because […]

Why I Won’t be Visiting Intel’s Museum of Me

06.02.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Intel is getting a ton of buzz for its “Museum of Me” app. I’ve read many oohs and ahhs about it, and even that Intel is “changing advertising” with it. Sounds cool, right? I finally relented after seeing the tweet about it changing advertising and went to check it out. The first step of the […]

06.01.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

“Influence” is a concept I know I’m reading, hearing and thinking about and I know I’m not the only one.
