Inspired by the awesome-looking site my friend Jessica created for her new business, and always depressed with how crappy and uprofessional looking my blog is, I decided to bite the bullet and create an actual website. It still has a ways to go and I don’t actually have any reason to have a website at […]
Ashley Judd & Misogyny–I Call BS
Warning: rant that has nothing to do with social media ahead. If you’re on Facebook (and who isn’t?–my hat’s off to you if you’re not) you’ve probably seen about a billion women posting “you go girl!” type of comments about this piece written by Ashely Judd in which she “slaps the media in the face” […]
Spring Break
Source: katiearmour.tumblr.com via Holly on Pinterest Guess what time it is? Blogcation! For the first time ever we’re actually going away for spring break. So no blog posts for a week or so. In the meantime, here’s the post I recently wrote for SocialFish: The Perils of Pinterest (yes, I’m slightly obsessed with Pinterest lately.) On […]
Want Traffic? You Need Images
Source: Uploaded by user via Maggie on Pinterest While checking out Google Voice I landed on their blog and was intrigued by the Dynamic View theme, so I’m trying it here on Mizz Information. See those tabs across the top of the blog now–“Classic” “Flipcard” “Magazine” etc? You can click on those to view this […]
I Will Stop the World From Ending in 2012
Ok, sike, but I couldn’t resist that headline, because the subject of the world ending in 2012 has been a hotly debated subject in my house for the past three or more years, ever since my daughter (now 15) saw the trailer for the movie 2012 on YouTube and became obsessed and freaked out. Did […]
5 Predictions; 5 Resolutions
What would December be without the obligatory predictions post? Or, for that matter, the new year’s resolution post? I’m kicking it FIO style and combining the two into one post. Predictions: Hiring for community and social media managers will continue to rise. And confusion about the differences between the roles will persist. Burnout and disillusionment […]
Klout Still Suggesting Users Invite Minors
So remember when I wrote about how Klout had created a profile for my 13 year-old son? And how the story made it to the New York Times? And how Klout apologized and “rolled back” the changes, and vowed they had “no interest” in attracting minors to their site, and had supposedly set up some […]
Book Giveaway: Humanize!
What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a giveaway? And not just any giveaway–an awesome one. My friends Maddie Grant and Jamie Notter recently published Humanize: How People-Centric Organizations Succeed in a Social World. I was fortunate enough to review a few chapters while it was still being written and was […]
Thankful
Lest I let the opportunity for the cliched “What am I thankful for” blog post roll by, I am muddling through my post-ASHA convention and now sick stupor to try to write a coherent post about what I’m thankful for. Since lists are easier than prose, I’ll make it easier on all of us and […]
New York Times and Other Excitement
Remember my last post about Klout and privacy issues? Thanks to the fact that my friend Tonia Ries is a rockstar, the story got picked up by the New York Times, so I will now be able to go down in history–much to my mother’s chagrin–as the mom who helped her 13 year old lie […]
