PETA Fail, or How Not to Spread the Word on Twitter

It aggravates and saddens me that there are still so many major household names that know Twitter is hip, so they jump in and use it without the slightest thought to how to properly engage on Twitter.

A Twitter Experiment

I just had an interesting idea, and I decided to do a Twitter experiment. I have had a hard time getting applicants for my Type-A Mom social ad sales position. One of the Type-A Mom editors is considering venturing into sales to give it a try. Meanwhile, it just dawned on me. Perhaps Twitter could sell...

Google Analytics Trap

Google Analytics is a great stats service, especially for the price tag (free). It has some options not seen in a few great paid stats providers, such as a nice tie-in to Adwords and cool map-clicking to get some geo data (although that data isn’t comprehensive or totally reliable). There’s...

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.

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.

We’re Going to Disney World

In two days, we hit the road to experience the holidays at Disney World. This was kind of an impromptu thing. It started with my previous post on the Mom Panel.
