LinkedIn Groups: still there, but barely

11.30.2017 by Maggie McGary // 4 Comments

*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 […]

Long time no see!

11.13.2017 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Hey there–is this thing still on? Long time no see over here at Mizz Information. It’s been a crazy year on many fronts…to say the least. In this age of “pivot to video” and podcasts being all the rage, I admit it’s a struggle to keep the blogging enthusiasm alive. But at the same time, […]

Mental Health Stigma When You’re Not a Celebrity or a Teen

Mental Health Stigma When You're Not a Celebrity or a Teen

Mental health has had a banner few weeks in the news and across the internet–at least when the news centers around celebrities or teens. Sinead O’Connor and Justin Bieber made headlines about their battles with depression and mental illness and Diply applauded a list of celebrities who have shared their struggles with mental illness. Two teens were lauded for […]

At Least We Can Laugh About Depression

At Least We Can Laugh About Depression

I was surprised and humbled by the number of people I heard from after my last post. It’s good but also sad to know that so many people are impacted by mental health issues and mental illness (I admit I’m still grappling with the least awkward/most accurate verbiage to use when talking about this stuff).

New Direction for Mizz Information–Bye Social Media; Hello Mental Health Stigma

08.01.2017 by Maggie McGary // 14 Comments

While it would be super tidy to announce that, on the 10th anniversary of starting Mizz Information–a blog mostly about social media, community management, associations and off-topic rants–I’ve decided to switch it up and write about something entirely different. Or, better yet, hang up my blogging hat entirely and find a new hobby, like podcasting […]

What Associations Need to Know About Facebook’s API Changes

07.20.2017 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah, Facebook–that social network I love to hate, even though my career kind of depends on using it. For those of us in the association and nonprofit sectors, Facebook just got a lot harder to use effectively with the announcement that they’ve changed their API and eliminated the ability to modify link previews when posting […]

Facebook Live: Worth the Hype or Not?

06.02.2017 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If “social media” was all the rage a few years ago, then “content” was the big buzz, these days it’s all about video and, to a slightly lesser extent, podcasts. Forget lowly old blogs–aka “content”–and now that organic reach is dead, social media, for many, has morphed into just another paid channel, we’re all supposed […]

Thoughts on Ageism: What Goes Around Comes Around

05.22.2017 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Last week was an abnormally social one for me, which turned out to be a good thing. I caught up with old friends and spent time with new ones and pushed myself outside my comfort zone…my comfort zone being go to work, go home, stay home. Nothing wrong with that but you don’t really tend […]

Twitter Spring Cleaning and Privacy Check

05.15.2017 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Now that I’m re-addicted to Twitter–for better or for worse–I started noticing that even though I follow a lot of people, I never happen to see any tweets from them unless I search. It occurred to me to check my settings, vaguely recalling they’ve changed their algorithm (now that I Google it I see it […]
