I usually do this post on my personal blog, but since the number of subscribers to that blog has dwindled down to 4 (yes, that’s right, FOUR), this year I’m posting it here, even though it has nothing much to do with social media. Ok, nothing at all…unless you count checking into movie theaters on […]
Happy Holidays
My daughter showing off the Tokidoki/Sanrio iPhone case she got me for Christmas I didn’t intend to take a holiday blogcation, but it appears that’s what I’m doing since I doubt my sister and her family, who are spending the week with us, will appreciate me sneaking off to blog. So I’ll just take this […]
Social and Silos
Great post by David Armano explaining how social initiatives span silos. This is something I struggle with daily; getting people to understand that even though I am the dedicated social media “person” it doesn’t mean other departments can take a pass or not pay attention to social media. As I talked about in my recent […]

Three Reasons I Already Don’t Like Jumo
Lots of buzz about Jumo recently–the new social network whose mission is (ostensibly, at least) “We connect individuals and organizations working to change the world.” Why am I so bitter about Jumo already, you ask? Three reasons: 1) You must have a Facebook account to use it. Seriously? What if all you want to do […]
Facebook Promotions About to Get Easier for Nonprofits?
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? The free ride was over. Looks like Facebook has re-thought the whole promotions thing, because I just read that they will […]
