Two of my favorite financial TV shows now have dedicated and updated web sites on CNBC. Jim Cramer‘s Mad Money and Dylan Ratigan‘s Fast Money also sport RSS feeds which allows me to miss these shows and still get updates on what topics were discussed. I’m usually watching these at the gym, so the ability […]
Podcast Available on Using RSS for Marketing
SXSW has finally posted the full audio podcast of the panel I moderated called Using RSS for Marketing. In addition, a short highlight video podcast was posted as well. Check them out to get a feel for the content at the SXSW conference and learn about marketing with RSS from the panelists which included Emily […]
Apple's Safari to Windows is a brilliant move
I watched Paul Kedrosky on CNBC yesterday shrug off Apple’s release of Safari for Windows and was quite surprised by his reaction. This is a really big deal for a couple reasons. Yes, as Kedrosky says, the browser war is an old topic and not as sexy as the iPhone story or new Leopard features. […]
Strategic marketing with blogs for your business
Last week I spoke at a conference on expanding a business beyond the local region. My talk focused on using blogs, feeds, and social networks for marketing a business and expanding its presence. One of the questions that came up was how to respond to negative comments and posts from users and detractors. In other […]
Micro-blogging with Tumblr
I’ve been experimenting with Tumblr for a little while now and I really enjoy the service as a solution for micro-blogging combined with Twitter. I’ve previously discussed Twitter as a solution for lifeblogging, but it lacks the capability to post links, pictures, and videos. Tumblr enables the importing of any feed in addition to posting […]
Twitter distractions
I realized my Twittering has temporarily slowed down my blogging. I’m not really sure whether this is good or bad, but I know I have less Twitter followers than blog and feed readers so I’m going to try to even all my posting out between my blog, Twitter, and my tumblelog. I’m finding that Twitter […]
Site redesign
In the spirit of CSS Reboot, I finally redesigned my site. I didn’t actually create something entirely original, but performed some heavy modifications to a modified upon modified theme called Freedom Blue. A good portion of this theme fit my needs and provided a nice base for my modifications and some WordPress plugins I wanted […]
Virginia Tech memorials on campus
I took the opportunity yesterday to head over to campus. Day one was absolute shock. Day two was horrible grief and sadness. Yesterday, I finally felt that I needed to deal with my mourning and visit campus to see the memorials and pay my respects. I found the overall scene to be surreal and a […]
Virginia Tech Tragedy
What a horrible day. I’ve received several inquires today from a couple mainstream media outlets (CBS Evening News, Washington Post) regarding the tragedy that has unfolded today at Virginia Tech. A blog post I wrote on the last shooting that occurred in August 2006 has been getting a lot of traffic today as everyone has […]
SXSW: Using RSS for Marketing
Since Using RSS for Marketing was the panel I moderated, I don’t have any actual live notes. As a 10am Sunday morning panel, I was worried no one would be in the room due to the daylight savings time change (and the late night partying). I was relieved to see we had a packed room […]
