Book Review – UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.

Dave Fleet

Tweet If you’re a regular Twitter user, Scott Stratten can be hard to miss at times (ok, always). The self-proclaimed “Jedi for social media,” with a big online mouth and an even bigger following, Scott provokes strong reactions from people. I’ve known him for a while and, while I always enjoy sparring with him , I consider him a friend so readily agreed to take a look at his new book – UnMarketing: Stop Marketing.

To my friends who have received the bossy emails from me lately, I’m sorry. I tried to be nice when I told you to change your password right away and delete all the posts you’d sent to your friends. I know you didn’t like hearing about this. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to say, it’s not me, it’s you. I know you didn’t mean to do it.

Social Customer Support: AT&T is doing it Right!

Buzz Marketing for Technology

I have been an avid iPhone user almost since the day it came out. I just had to have one and it killed me that it took a week to get one when it first hit the market. I love everything about the iPhone except the fact that it has been hard to actually use it as a phone! To make matters worse it is almost impossible to use in my home but that is a network issue rather than an iPhone issue.

Privacy Is About Control, Not Anonymity

Dave Fleet

Tweet Seth Godin says you don’t really care about privacy : “If you cared about privacy you wouldn’t have a credit card, because, after all, they know everything you spend money on. And you wouldn’t use the phone, because somewhere, there’s a computer scanning what you say. What most of us care about is being surprised.

Know someone in the military?

SocialFish

Many of you have a family member, a friend, a colleague, someone you know well – or not so well – who has been (or still is) in the military, who signed up to protect your country (whichever country that might be). I would consider myself totally removed from that sphere, but I still, when I think about it, had close friends in high school who went to the Naval Academy.
