Twitter & Meebo: The Death of Personal Email?…

Can you remember the last time you sent an email that was personal? 

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing with Twitter, Meebo, IMeem, etc., and I can’t for the life of me remember the last time I sent a personal email to my wife, my family or even a co-worker. We now live in a world of LinkedIn, MySpace, Beebo, etc., and we don’t need personal email.

Are we witnessing the death of personal email?…

Blogging for Business

I’m currently organizing a large blog initiative for my company and I keep hearing, “I don’t know what to do and I don’t know where to start…“

I decided to draft a simple introductory document that explains how to start. I’m still working on the final product, but here’s a draft:

Introduction

Given the recent rise in popularity in business blogging, it is important to establish a proven game plan to ensure that each blog created is able to maximize its true potential.  This document outlines this accepted game plan.

Business blogging is a vital tool for creating Amplified Word of Mouth (AWM) with your clients.  In this case, AWM will be defined as a social media campaign designed to encourage or accelerate WOM (Word of Mouth) in existing and new communities.  The ultimate goal of AWM:

• Creating communities and enabling people to share opinions
• Motivating advocates and evangelists
• Giving advocates information that they can share
• Using advertising or publicity designed to create buzz
• Identifying and reaching out to influential individuals and communities
• Researching and tracking online conversations
