web 20: "Hello? McFly! It's called 'Social' Media for a Reason!" - Blog Tips for Rain Drips - 11/15/09 09:39 AM
As we test the social media waters for the first time, we all make our fair share of naive mistakes and newbie blunders.
Yikes! Just go back through my early blog archives and you'll find boatloads of them! I wouldn't advise going there, though, it's pretty scary! There's been many times when I've been tempted to go back and delete a bunch of my early articles, but they're a good reminder of the lessons learned and the progress I've made along the way.
One of the most common mistakes that people make is trying to shove a square Web 1.0 peg in a … (86 comments)

web 20: "What You Talkin' Bout, Willis?" - Blog Tips for Rain Drips - 12/07/07 04:36 AM
This is the 2nd part in a Series on the "Art of Engagement" which began by asking the fundamental question,....

One of the big buzz words circulating around the blogosphere these days is 'Transparency.'

web 20: "How many Hooks do You put in the Water?" - 06/05/07 04:59 AM
Whenever I visit my Dad down in San Luis Obispo CA, we go out on the coast to Morro Bay. From there, we rent a charter boat and go deep sea fishing. It's a full day of male bonding at its best. We leave before dawn and return to port in the late afternoon, hopefully with full catch of ling cod, snapper, and sea bass.
