Several recent big events in the digital space have confirmed the importance of images as part of a content strategy.
Pins of the Week: Pinterest Analytics, Google Reader Alternatives and….Hire Me?
It’s been a busy week for me and for the world of social media, so let’s get right down to it….in pins, of course. 1) Pinterest adds analytics. Up until now, if you wanted to track repins, click-thrus or any other metrics for the stuff you pin, you had to use a third-party service like Pinreach […]
Review and Giveaway–Social Change Any Time Everywhere
Allyson Kapin is a friend and crazy smart, so when she said she was writing a book with Amy Sample Ward, I knew it would be good. I was wrong; the book, Social Change any Time Everywhere, is not just good–it’s great. If you’re part of a nonprofit that’s unsure how to navigate the changing […]
The Washington Post Ombudsman’s Parting Suggestion? No More Anonymous Comments
As a daily subscriber to the Washington Post , a former guest blogger for the Post, and a community manager, I was very interested in the number one suggestion outlined in Patrick Pexton’s farewell column.

For those who think Pinterest is just for wedding, baby, nail and style pictures, have you tried browsing the Technology category? I hadn’t ever looked at that view before but figured you […]

Last week I read Danny Brown’s post “1,000 Blog Posts Later–An Introspective” and it resonated with me on several levels–particularly the part about being fluid, and the part about it being ok to be wrong. When I started blogging about eight years ago, it was back when blogging was just a fun thing I liked […]
Pins of the Week
I’ve alluded to it before and I’ll come out and say it again now: I’m obsessed with Pinterest. Especially since “doing” Pinterest is no longer part of my job (although now that it’s not, I admit I totally miss it) and now I use it purely for fun, I spend a decent amount of time […]
Five Apps I’m Loving….Or At Least Trying
I hate winter. I basically don’t go outside when it’s cold, which makes for a lot of indoor time for me between about November and April each year. Besides going to a lot of movies, I tend to spend a lot of time at home during winter months either reading, watching TV or movies and, […]
