A few months ago, I blogged about Facebook’s impending decision to make life hard for pharmaceutical companies. According to today’s Washington Post , these changes will be going live tomorrow, forcing most pharma pages that have previously had closed walls to open them to allow comments. What isn’t clear in the article is whether this […]
#ASAE11 Wrap Up
So I’m back from St. Louis and my first-ever ASAE Annual Meeting. It sure was fun. I think I was meant to be a meeting planner because I could pretty much live in an exhibit hall. While I loved my time in St. Louis and did learn some things, the main thing I think I […]
See You in St. Louis
For years, ASAE’s Annual Meeting was something that former bosses attended to to hobnob with other association big-wigs. Then, once I knew Patrick (aka Mr. Maggie McGary) it was something he attended and I heard about through him. Once I joined ASAE three years ago and started connecting with other members via Twitter, it was […]
Why the Nerd in me Knows Ads Will Ruin Twitter
After a week-long vacation and self-imposed break from all things online, I admit this time my return to Twitter was a bit more reluctant than it has been after previous, shorter breaks. In years past, the idea of not checking Twitter for any length of time seemed much harder for some reason. I’m not sure […]
Blogcation 2011
It’s that time again….blogcation. As usual, instead of scheduling a week’s worth of posts to run while I’m gone (ok, who am I fooling…if I blog once a week these days I’m doing well) here are a few posts from the past six months that you may have missed the first time around: Why I’m […]
5 Ways Exhibitors Should Market to Attendees. And None of Them is a Postcard.
This year I’ll be going to ASAE’s Annual Meeting & Expo for the first time. When I registered, I was asked if I preferred to receive communication from vendors via email or regular mail. Since I can’t keep up with email as it is, I opted for regular mail and didn’t think much of it […]
Streamed Out
Google+. Spotify. Google Music. Branchout. BeKnown. Pinterest. Seriously–how much time is one person supposed to have for online socializing? I am officially tapped out. It was bad enough when it was just Facebook and Twitter–both my own personal accounts and the accounts I manage professionally. Oh, and Linkedin. Now I’m supposed to find time to […]
New Look for Mizz Information
You may have noticed that suddenly, this blog looks totally different. I started tinkering with it when I switched from the old commenting platform I was using (Echo comments) to Disqus. Why did I switch? Because Echo recently started charging $10 a month and since this blog is only for fun and not a money-maker […]
Why I’m not Giddy Over Google+
If you’re a geek, you already know what Google+ is. If you’re not, this seems like a decent primer (I admit I just Googled it and picked the first link, so apologies if that’s actually a flawed or otherwise not great explanation. After all, it’s July 4th.) Basically, it’s supposed to be Google’s version of […]
Social Media Software + Silos Redux
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 […]
