Digg this! "Spring" via promanex on Flickr under creative commons license. Ahhhh Spring! The flowers are blooming, the trees are budding, and there’s a sense of renewal in the air. But with Spring also brings with it the need to do Spring cleaning. For our cars, we wash off the grime and road salt that has built up over the last few months. For our houses, we clean the windows, air out the house, get the old leaves out of the flower beds, and get the yard prepped for growth. Just a heads-up…your blog may need some Spring cleaning, too.

Digg this! I have had a LOT of feedback about my article about why I deleted by pinboards because of Pinterest’s Terms of Use. Everything from fear to curiosity to anger. In case you haven’t read my earlier articles, I’m actually very impressed with Pinterest and their approach to social sharing. even took a stance that Pinterest may be the next raging social network and edge Google+ further to the back-burner. So I don’t want anyone to get the idea that I’m a Pinterest-hater. I’m not. Honestly, I hope to back on Pinterest soon. Yeesh! Good change!

What’s a better approach for journalists, creating official Facebook Pages or enabling the subscribe button on their regular profiles? Facebook is certainly encouraging the use of the new subscribe button. Kristof’s page has 230K+ likes so it makes sense to keep that going. And more journalists are doing so each week.

Digg this! Wendy Boyce. In a previous post we looked at the top 25 industries using social media , as presented in the NetProspex Fall 2010 Social Business Report.  In that report, there is also a section on social media usage by job function. I found the results to be interesting and daunting all at the same time. As companies continue to adopt social media marketing as a viable practice, so must the number of employees inside an organization using social media increase. Next in line, and at an almost equal usage  of approximately 67%,      were Human Resource professionals.

Digg this! Last week, Google sort-of confirmed to  Mashable about the existence of Google Offers by reporting that: Google is communicating with small businesses to enlist their support and participation in a test of a pre-paid offers/vouchers program. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort at Google to make new products, such as the recent Offer Ads beta, that connect businesses with customers in new ways.

Digg Digg. I asked Klout why my Network Influence Score was dropping down every Wednesday for 3 – 4 points. The answer I received from Klout is shocking. If you are still under the spell of Klout, be sure that you don't spend much time engaging and supporting your friends who are new to Social Media. Interestingly, spending your time supporting and mentoring our new friends might land you in Klout Time Out. It's seems Klout doesn't assign influence to true Social Media relationships. Klout is an example of a brand gone bad. Related posts: Is Klout On The Way Out?
