Ironic that yesterday’s association chat (#assnchat; takes place every Tuesday at 2 pm thanks to Jeff De Cagna) was supposed to be about virtual attendee experience…but because the world felt compelled to live-tweet Michael Jackson’s funeral, Twitter was so slow that we had to postpone #assnchat. I know I’m not supposed to admit this, but […]

Forrester Research recently released a report on how companies should organize for social media. In the report, they detail three basic organizational models: The Tire (Distributed): Where each business unit or group may create its own social media programs without a centralized approach. Forrester calls this approach the “tire,” as it originates at the edges […]

Buzz2009 Social Media For Associations–Why I Wish I Was Going

06.12.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Right now I should be battling traffic on my way to BlogPotomac but, because I don’t want to go down in the bad mom hall of fame as being the mom who chose a blogger conference over her son’s grade-school graduation, I’m not going. I did slog through traffic hell to go to the happy […]

Death Knell for Associations?

04.07.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Back at ASAE’s Great Ideas conference in February, there was a lot of talk about social media–and a lot of talk about how social media could eventually spell the death of associations. Since I work for an association and don’t relish the idea of being out of a job, I didn’t give it much thought […]

My Social Media Prediction for 2009–Assocations Will Get it Wrong

12.23.2008 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season for closing the door on the old year and looking forward to the new one. Rather than trying to cleverly and accurately sum up the state of social media in 2008, I’ll just paraphrase CNET news’ 2008 wrap-up post: “…it was a terrific year for social networks. Mostly.” Now go read the […]

Social Media Perfect Storm: A Cautionary Tale

11.07.2008 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Ok, I’ve kept my mouth shut long enough–I was not going to blog about this because it would probably mean I’d never see my free cloud computer, but at this rate it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anyway. I’m sacrificing my potential blogging mother lode–free computer in exchange for promoting it via social […]

Facebook for business–you’re kidding, right? Everyone knows Facebook is for teenagers sharing drunken or suggestive photos of themselves–what possible use could it possibly have with regard to business? The answer: plenty.
