(It’s also a good thing I’m on an AT&T plan…) Check out Kristen Nicole’s Mashable.com piece on it here. (NOTE: You can view all [ READ MORE ]
Hey, all. I just went to check out my Technorati rank and saw that the site got a bit of a facelift. To quote my friend Tim Spangler, it’s much more “Web 2.0,” and it looks good. My only beef is that I can’t find my site ranking as easily as I did before. Read [ READ MORE ]

While all participants probably had interesting things to say, they really seem to have an idea of how to market through [ READ MORE ]

Honigman) Kellogg’s Social Media Marketing Symposium got off to a good start Tuesday, as news-types and Web behemoths alike rubbed shoulders and drank coffee in the somewhat cramped quarters of Kellogg’s 4th floor [ READ MORE ]
Hey, all. I’ll be blogging later on about this conference the Kellogg Business School is hosting. It should be interesting, because it’s about marketing.
