facebook: Auto Updates are So Easy, They're Evil - 04/29/09 08:38 PM
During a presentation I gave last week, someone suggest to the audience that they sign up for a service that will auto-update their status updates on social networks like like twitter, facebook, plaxo, etc. every time you write a blog post.   Personally, I find these updates to be horrible marketing that do more damange than good... and ensure you get no meaningful following on any of the services...Because this point is so darn important, I decided to record a video to make my point!
 
The takeaway?
Find a way to be relevant to your target audience or don't bother! … (45 comments)

facebook: #1 Tip for Successful Blogging??? - 04/05/09 10:54 AM
#1 Do *not* over-think yourself!  
It's been too long since I updated my AR blog, so my initial reaction is to do a massive everything-under-the-sun post that "perfectly" encapsulates everything I've been working in the year+ since I've been active... 
However, I know myself well enough to know that ain't gonna happen...  Whenever I start to write a HUGE post, I end up over-thinking myself, writing piece, saving drafts and never hitting the publish button.   That's gotta be the #1 reason I really like micro-blogging sites is that it forces me to hit "publish" on an idea even if … (62 comments)
