Competition in Blogging and Social Media

Competition has been on my mind for some time. I see it bring out the worst in people, and in the blogging and social media community it can be very harmful.

PR Nightmares: Salvation is in the Reaction

I’ve been pretty disappointed by PETA’s response to the PR nightmare they created when they decided to spam several moms this week. Since my last post, PETA Fail, or How Not to Spread the Word on Twitter, I have learned that they also used email and Facebook fan pages to continue their spam....

BlogHer, or the Post Where I Refuse to Complain

When Social Networking and Real Life Converge

One thing I find particularly amazing is not the possibilities created by social networking, but the possibilities created in real life by the connections we make online. OK, that was probably confusing. In essence, it’s fascinating to me how many people theorized that technology made us all more...

Using LinkedIn to Build a Testimonials Page

A couple weeks ago, as I prepared to go speak at BlissDom Conference, I took a hard look at this site. I knew that I would be passing out my funky mini Moocards, and I wanted to be sure people who came to KelbyCarr.com had a good experience. That is when it dawned on me that, a while back, LinkedIn...

Just a couple days ago, I was honored to be a guest on the Blog Talk Radio show, Parenting for Humanity, for their show, Online Social Networking for Parents. The hosts were wonderful. My fellow guest, Lisa Hoover, was wonderful and extremely insightful on this subject.

Forget the Line Between Business and Personal in Social Networking

Social Networking Resolutions

Yes, New Year resolutions are lame. But the fact is, this time of year it’s just natural we reflect on changes we want to make and where we want to be in the coming year.

My Airing of Festivus Grievances

Oh, how I love Festivus. It’s perfect for people like me just itching for a reason to complain (not that I need one). So last night, in honor of Festivus, I aired a few grievances on Twitter. You can find other grievances aired by searching the tag #festivus. Did you do a blog post of your Festivus...
