- To Cross-Post or Not to Cross-Post 11/21/2009
  I’ve noticed a lot of people automatically cross-posting from one social media site to another lately. They have all their Twitter updates feed to Facebook, all their LinkedIn updates feed to Twitter, or all their Delicious tags updating Facebook. I’ll say right off the bat, that I find this frustrating (especially when it comes from savvy marketing people). […]

- Top 5 Best & Worst of Valley Social Media 06/10/2009
  Francine has done a fantastic job starting the local Social Media Club chapter and running it for so long, but while she has handed over the reins to me for the summer I'd like to try a few things to see if we can reinvigorate involvement. My goal is to reach out to people who have not attended in a while, and get in a wider mix of people than the […]
- My Bad Media Manners 06/22/2009
  I screwed up. I am admitting it here in hopes that maybe someone else will learn from my mistake and not do the same thing as me. Last week I was able to finally get a client and a key industry expert to have lunch with a business reporter who had been searching for some new local hard news story ideas. I didn’t know a lot about the topic at hand because the […]
- How to interview practically anyone 06/25/2009
  I was voted “Quietest” in high school. So you can imagine the 1,000 deaths I died when I first had to write case studies after grad school. I was working for a mainframe company, Data General (now owned by EMC Corporation) , and sent out to various locations around the U.S. to interview engineers. These are people not known for their ability to make you f […]

- Gas prices: Back to the future? 06/11/2009
  Buckle up folks, energy prices are starting to soar again. AP energy writer Chris Kahn notes oil prices, for starters, have broken free of the fundamentals that usually rule the market, rising despite a glut in surplus crude oil.

- 3 million job openings? 05/23/2009
  Business Week magazine reported in a recent cover story that employers have 3 million openings for jobs. With the millions of unemployed Americans, why is that number of unfilled positions so high? AP economic writer Christopher S. Rugaber says: Even in a deep recession, there are still jobs available. The figure reflects what economists call “churn” in th […]

  Got a job interview in this economy? Congrats, you’ve beaten the odds.

You want a good understanding of its culture and business decisions before the interview. And, it's a useful way to gauge a business’s health. It might not […]
- Dan Schawbel’s First Book: Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success 04/07/2009
  Personal Branding has really come a long ways in the last few years! I remember when William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson wrote “the bible” on personal branding, back when there were really just a handful of personal branding blogs. Fast forward to today and we have (probably) hundreds of blogs that have some element of personal branding, and the latest book o […]

  Last night we had the biggest upgrade to our system yet. In the last 2.5 years we’ve had a bunch of upgrades, but this one required us to actually take JibberJobber offline for a while so we could make some database changes… huge thanks to my team for their efforts in this release, and for working in the wee hours of the night to do the upgrade!
