I am a huge fan of LinkedIn. I use it to connect with our clients as well as other thought leaders in the industry. One of my favorite aspects of the tool is the Answers section. Inquisitive by nature, over the past year I have asked and ans… Continue

Barbara Jones Your Answering Machine Said What?

Most answering machines play a polite greeting from the owner and take a message. Nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned automated communication. There are exceptions, though, to all of this bland harmlessness. I was talking recently with David Wachtel of Hauticam Consulting about business etiquette mistakes we can’t believe happen. High on David’s list is answering machine greetings that include the phrase, “…and I will return your call at my earliest convenience.” I have experienced this too,… Continue

Arrick Garringer Branding Considerations for Social Networkers

While using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or any of the other social media channels, it is important to think about your brand image and how it is perceived by others. For some reason, many fail to apply the same standards online as they would in a face-to-face setting. This can be a slippery slope towards leaving a negative impression, but there is a quick fix if you set your standards appropriately. Here are 3 tips to solidifying your brand image through social networking. Appropriate Use of… Continue

Greg Cross Greenfield Daily Reporter Interview with Greg Cross

Greg Cross owns Cross Creative, a professional web design company that serves business, non-profit, church and social media clients. The Daily Reporter asked him some questions about technology and social networking. Reporter: How did you get into Web site design and the whole technology scene? How have you seen things change over the years? Cross: I got into the whole website and technology front more out of sheer fascination. I got my first computer in 1989. It was a PC - an 80… Continue

Hazel "The Queen" Walker Building a Network or a Mailing List

Excerpted from an email I received on my Linkedin account………… I have 1,500 connections in my networks first tier. My next milestone is 10,000 connections. One of you asked if I know all my connections in my first tier. I know a lot of them but not all of them. Last Friday I met a man from the UK who now has 10,000 people in his first tier and 250,000 in the 2nd and 3rd. He knows most people in his 1st tier due to the fact, that he travels the world and visits local networking meetings.… Continue

Cindy Hartman The top 10 things I'm grateful for

So often we tend to look at what's wrong, sad, bad or depressing in our lives. Instead, if we look at what's right, happy, good, uplifting, joyous, fulfilling, energizing and motivating we would make it a better world just because of our positive energy. (And did you notice I have many more 'good' words than 'bad'?) So, I am using this final post of 2008 to share the things for which I am most grateful: 1. Mike is, of course, number 1. He is my best friend, husband of many years, busine… Continue

Edgar Huntington Meltdown

I wish I know what I wanted to do when I grow up, particularly NOW, particularly today. I'm editing my profile on LinkedIn and wonder how I have gotten so far with so little. I've not been a conformist. All of this after a Thanksgiving that was anything but a Hallmark moment - I even got lost on the way home. Then again, that was the best part of the day. I am not perfect, though I think that what the world wants from me. Yet somehow from the chaos I'm supposed to brush myself off and be presen… Continue

Kyle Lacy Taking Advantage of Twitter and NOT Getting Arrested

Hat tip to Shel Israel on his post, 7 New Tips for New Twitter Users Social Media can be cumbersome for some to understand.

Don Schindler Inc. Mag, Social Community and Google

Here's my two cents about Inc. Mag. And don't get me wrong - I love the mag - but they are always a bit behind the times when it comes to new media and technology. I really miss Business 2.0 - I can't believe they shut it down and replaced my 2.0 with Fortune - what a waste. So with the article, "Tapping The Community Pool" in the latest issue, they… Continue

Joyce Boadt LinkedIn Networking Success Story

Lately I’ve become something of a zealot on the topic of “virtual networking”. This was the topic I chose for the April Women & Hi Tech discussion group. I thought I’d do a bit of research, see what tools were out there, write some reviews, and then move on to the next topic. Along the way I became a convert (addict?) and things I never knew existed suddenly became part of my daily life!… Continue

Hazel "The Queen" Walker Internet Social/Business Networking Sites`

Linkedin, Plaxo, Ecademy, Onedegree, taqged, facebook, myspace, smaller indiana, multiply and on and on and on. How many of these do I really need to belong to? Which one's are the right ones? I have been on Ecademy for sometime, I spend time blogging, joinging the clubs, networking and connecting with others on the site. In fact, in January I was speaking at a conference in Bristol England and I had the best time meeting about a dozen of the people whom I had met on the Ecademy site. It was gr… Continue

Jeremy Williams Smaller Indiana gaining traction...

I joined Smaller Indiana a few weeks ago after reading about it in the Indy Star (yes, I'm one of those strange under-35s who actually reads the physical paper each day) and I've been nothing but impressed since I joined. I've been a member of LinkedIn for nearly two years now and, although it's a great way to keep track of business acquaintances, you simply can't do anything on LinkedIn. You can collect your friends and make connections, but there's no real interaction. LinkedIn has been worki… Continue

Jeb Banner What's Up with Plaxo?

I've been hit by a barrage of emails from friends and associates asking me to connect with them on Plaxo.com I guess I'm already a member of this site, who knows how many sites I belong to at this point!, so I go and approve our connection. What I'm curious about is the sudden spike in activity, what's going on here? I sometimes get 2-3 connection emails a day. Reminds me of Linkedin of a few years ago, and I still get those pretty often. I consider Linkedin another waster of my time as well. T… Continue
