  • The Social Media Deaf

    The Social Media Deaf

    There is something about getting an @ reply to you from a brand or an author.  I have thad great tweet conversations with some great companies and authors.  It’s always a great feeling when they recognize you. Now, this isn’t anything new, but businesses that don’t listen to the chatter…

  • If I Don’t Like it, I Won’t Talk About It

    If I Don’t Like it, I Won’t Talk About It

  • Reverse Mentor

    I read this idea in a book recently – Vaynerchuk’s book.  It is this idea of the reverse mentor.  More and more, there is an opportunity for the younger generation to teach an older generation how to navigate social media. It is something that the younger generation has grown up…
