…at the Green Bay Net social media copnvention [thanks Elliot and Gina!] and thanks to my ‘board of advisors’, I revised the ‘tactics and tools’ mindmap and I had a great time with the folks who sat in on the preso. The content was well received so I’m planning on making an ongoing blog series [...]

…I did a post on ‘top 10 tactics and tools for tightening your tribe‘ with social media. ‘Tightening your tribe’? What the heck does that mean. Well, in order to understand the reference you’d have to drill down on Seth Godin‘s book ‘Tribes‘ which I have been reading over and over again this summer. Here’s [...]

Image via CrunchBase First, what’s this nonsense about ‘Tightening your Tribe’? Well, it’s a reference to Seth Godin’s social media masterpiece ‘Tribes‘. As I read the book, I really enjoyed the strategic discussion but found any reference to practical, tactical tools was missing. I therefore decided to create a series of posts on tools that [...]

In case it’s not obvious by now, I’m very passionate about ‘enabling’ technology – technology that enables people to go beyond themselves and accomplish great things. My favorites sites are sites like Lifehacker, Mashable, Stepcase Lifehack, etc. – you get the point! I read the geeky stuff looking for good, fast and cheap tools so [...]

Tactic #3: Blogging. The ‘why’ and the ‘how’…

This entry is part 6 of 13 in the series Top 10 Tactics and Tools

Image via Wikipedia Tactic #3 in the series ‘tactics and tools for tightening your tribe using social media’ is blogging and I’ll be covering not only the why but the how. Admittedly, though, the more obvious something is to me, the harder it is to write about it and blogging falls into the ‘duh’ category [...]

Last week I covered tactic #3 in the tactics and tools series: blogging. Assuming that all my clients and readers went out and immediately launched a new blog by now you’re thinking to yourself ‘there’s got to be an easier way’. That easier way is to use a blog editor. Not just any blog editor; [...]

Tactic #5: Share, share, share…

This entry is part 8 of 13 in the series Top 10 Tactics and Tools

It’s a well known secret in real estate that the three most important aspects of a property are ‘location, location, location’. In social media, there’s a similar mantra. It’s called ‘share, share, share’… “If you step back and take a look how information moves in Social Media, it’s quite different than “Traditional Media.” Back in [...]

Tactic #6: Be known

This entry is part 9 of 13 in the series Top 10 Tactics and Tools

Image via CrunchBase I had an interesting discussion about privacy at Agritechnica with a strong proponent of privacy on the internet. To me, however, having let that Genie out of the bottle long ago I’m a strong proponent of transparency on the internet. I see it as being a competitive advantage because “consumers can relate [...]

Tactic #7: Bookmark socially!

This entry is part 10 of 13 in the series Top 10 Tactics and Tools

Although the perspective focuses on Delicious, the message is clear; Bookmarking has more value when you use a tool that saves your bookmarks out to a website where they can be accessed or shared from any computer to any computer or user… My favorite tool of this sort is called ‘FriendFeed’. Here’s a little on [...]
