Last week, I was in Alaska. My sister and her husband live there, she just had her first baby and I really wanted to go see them. So I took off a week and headed up there. You can see the pictures on Flickr if you’re really that interested. But this post isn’t about my [...]

So imagine you’re at a conference and a speaker is just bombing it. Maybe they don’t know their audience. Maybe they aren’t covering the topic well. Maybe they aren’t being responsive. Whatever the reason, they suck. You also have a Twitter account and maybe a few hundred or few thousand followers. Do you say what [...]

This weekend was my ten year high school class reunion. You know the drill: hang out with the same people you hung out with in high school, make fun of the same people you made fun of and get made fun of by the same people you got made fun of by. Only most of [...]

So I was talking to my grandma about what I do as a community director at ERE. Now I know some of you have technology savvy grandparents but mine isn’t one of them.

With apologies to the couple of corporate blogs I do read, corporate blogs suck. I am talking about the SEO fodder, copywriter driven, press release whoring and/or link bait attracting garbage that are corporate blogs today. I’ll read a lot of lousy blogs and standalone articles but I won’t read your company’s blog because even [...]
