Hellloooo there! Been about a million minutes since I last posted here–or anywhere, other than my journal–but I guess that’s what happens when you become your own boss. It’s been a wild year to say the least, but kind of an awesome one. I’ll save the long story for another time, but short story: I’m […]
Mizz Information Community
Hey there–sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I say “posted” rather than “written,” because I’ve been writing a ton over the past few months, actually. Just none of it here, or anywhere public. Working on the blogging part, because I still think there’s value in blogging and I still have a lot […]
LinkedIn Removes Email, Moderation Capability from Groups
Ah, that time of year when summer is wrapping up, ASAE Annual is less than a week away and you’re crazed trying to get your work done AND prep for the conference while also stressing about leaving your new puppy for FIVE nights…not to mention the whole clear plastic bag instead of a purse thing. […]
In Facebook We Trust. Why?
As baffling and rage/fear/frustration-inducing as the 24/7 political news cycle is, another–admittedly, much lower key– narrative has been snagging my attention lately: Facebook. If you read this blog or know me, I know “lately” is a laughingly inadequate descriptor of the time period during which I’ve been obsessed with the topic of Facebook. I’ve actually […]
Sunset an association’s community? Community IS the association
It’s been a minute since I’ve written about my all-time favorite topic: online community for associations. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking (aka obsessing) about it though…for better or for worse, depending which way you look at that 🙂 Even though I’ve recently switched over to the “dark side” (although it’s the brightest dark […]
LinkedIn Groups: still there, but barely
*updated with additional links at end of post* It’s been a few months since I’ve sounded my regular alarm that LinkedIn Groups’ days are numbered based on the steady deprecation of the product’s functionality over the past few years…which doesn’t mean I’ve stopped thinking about this topic obsessively 🙂 So, where are we with LinkedIn’s […]
LinkedIn Groups: What you Need to Know Now
If you read this blog, you know I tend to be sort of a glass-half-empty kind of gal. I prefer to think of myself as a realist rather than a pessimist, but hey–someone has to be the downer, right? 🙂 But with regard to LinkedIn–specifically, LinkedIn groups–I’ve been chronicling them being stripped of features and […]
Why the Boston Globe Shouldn’t Be Building Community on Facebook
My favorite Associations Now author, Ernie Smith, wrote a great article in today’s issue about building community around your most engaged users. Amen–my favorite topic! Kudos to the Boston Globe for recognizing that creating a community for its most engaged readers is a great tactic. But a Facebook Group as the home for that community? […]
5 Reasons Nonprofits Have an Advantage When it Comes to Social Media
If you read this blog, you already know I have a tendency to skew kind of negative on things. Lol. Ok, so yes, maybe I’m stating that a bit more mildly than is precisely accurate but whatever…my point is that, people often accuse me of being too negative. I personally just call it being a […]
Community Un-Managing Cheat Sheet, 2016 Edition
About three and a half years ago, I wrote a post called Community Un-Managing: Cheat Sheet for Community Managers and Tips for Companies, because, while most companies have processes and procedures for employees who leave, at that time, at least, few had procedures in place to extricate employees from company social media sites when […]
