A quick confession for you: about six months ago I snagged a pre-release copy of the book “ The Now Revolution ,&# by my friends Amber Naslund and Jay Baer. I quickly read it, absorbed it and loved it. Then I got busy… really busy… and failed to find time to write a review of the book. Over time, my memory of the specific highlights faded and it became more and more futile to try to write the review without re-reading the book.

It’s about the interaction of people, food, restaurants, conversation and small community organizations. It’s so easy to go out for a meal and overspend. I started thinking it would be fun to meet up with friends, have a fixed price meal and donate $20 to an organization. The idea evolved over almost 2 years into Twenty4Change. Here’s the gist of my rationale: • People go out to eat all the time.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a very interesting tool called Triberr. Simply. put, Triberr is a way for you to retweet other bloggers posts that you know and trust, and have them potentially do the same for you as well. You join and/or create “tribes” of those in your network that you feel comfortable associating with, and through those established connections, build a network of individuals that mutually share each other’s content.

I wrote a post about the potential of Twitter to buy TweetDeck just two weeks ago. (To be fair, that first posted on my employer’s blog.). In any case, a “what if&# scenario has become a reality with an offer ranging between $40 and $50 million. So what happens now? A lot of doom and gloom if you believe the people over at TechCrunch (they also broke the story that a deal was done between TweetDeck and Twitter on Monday).

I had built up close to 12+ years of experience around digital marketing, but was really gravitating towards social media marketing. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time at Microsoft Advertising on the community team.

Guest post by Jackson Wightman. ROI (a.k.a. return on investment) is important. But it’s oft-derided in digital circles. If you invest $1,000 dollars in shares of a firm, you need to know what that $1,000 is doing for you. If it is not doing anything positive, you’ll move it somewhere else. The same goes for investments of time and effort. If, say, you’re an entrepreneur and you put YOUR time and effort into a Facebook page, you want to know if it’s doing something good for your business.

This year’s NBA playoffs have been great so far, a nice surprise considering it is still early in the second round.

Last year I simply ranked the NBA playoff teams by Facebook engagement , so this year I thought I’d try a different approach for Twitter and apply Klout scores to the actual bracket and declare a wi

I started out on sites by photo bloggers I met at a photowalk in downtown Phoenix and branched out from there with people in their comments and on their blogrolls.

Way back in August 2010, the social news website Digg.com updated to version 4 – more or less sealing its doom. The site was down for most of the day, leaving people unable to either search it or use it, and very few of the site’s visitors enjoyed the interface and feature changes which came along with the update. According to Digg’s top brass, these changes were meant to bring in more revenue to the site, giving corporations and companies more control over content and more exposure for th

I am a huge supporter of using certain Twitter automation tools applications to help users manage their Twitter accounts and give them more time to focus on other things, like actually interacting with their followers. In particular, I had been using a combination of Twitterfeed and HootSuite RSS to update my account when new posts from my favorite blogs were available.
