How Serendipity Works

Serendipity seems to happen in business much more than it used to.  Why?  There are folks like you and I using social media tools that have increased the frequency of serendipity. Yet it’s still one of the hardest things to explain to business folks.  There’s no “serendipity metric.”  There probably never will be either. Sometimes things [...]

Niche Communities & Curating the Conversation

I’ve been thinking about these two things a lot recently: Niche Communities – Humans now live online.  Lots of them.  But most humans are only interested in the content that speaks to their personal and professional interests.  We know that humans, whether they’re our customers or even fellow industry professionals, tend to engage more with [...]

What We Do at Social Business Strategies

I think I’ve confused you.  May I have a few moments to clear things up? You know that Cheryl and I do something related to helping medium-sized and big companies learn how to use social media for business.  That can be a broad range of things, though, can’t it?

Building Collaborative Blogs With Words From Gen Y

Do you remember what it was like after graduating college?  How did you feel as you prepared to jump head-first into the professional world?

Don’t Be Afraid to Fail…Really

Earlier this year, when I was in Chicago for the BMA Engage conference, I had the chance to meet up with the very wise Jeff Hill for a late-evening nightcap.

How SurveyGizmo Kicks Off the Customer Experience

I’ve subscribed to SurveyGizmo for about three weeks now. It’s an online survey and polling tool that has a bit more meat on its bones than PollDaddy.  And in my mind, it also has a much nicer user interface than SurveyMonkey.  I’ve used all three and landed here from my own projects.

How the Happy Sandbox is Changing Business

It’s been interesting to see how the economy of the past two years has caused paradigm shifts in the way business is working. Even two years ago, companies seemed focused on merely surviving in the sandbox, full of staunch competitors.  Entrepreneurs, account folks and business developers were forced to wear smiles, sign NDAs and keep secrets [...]

Jeffrey Hayzlett on His New Book, The Mirror Test

Out of all the presenters I saw at BMA Engage this year, Jeffrey Hayzlett wins first prize.  Hands down. Not that it was necessarily a competition, but this guy is uber-sharp and seriously entertaining to watch.  He dominates the stage with a natural presence that is truly larger than life. Hayzlett is the now former [...]

Talking Human Business Works with Chris Brogan

What is Human Business?  You might recognize that term.  It’s become a buzzword in 2010. You’ll recognize who’s in the next video interview and he has some answers for you.  If you’re here, you probably read his blog too, and might have even seen him speak sometime in the last couple years.
