Guy Kawasaki Interview on Newspapers at Alltop

I recently noticed that Alltop, a 2.0 magazine stand delivering feeds on a variety of topics such as moms and journalism, introduced pages for the L.A. Times and New York Times. As any of my regular readers know, my background is in newspapers and I have some rather strong opinions about the industry’s...

Disney World 2.0 with the Moms Panel

There are so many organizations that are so far behind when it comes to social networking and web 2.0. It also seems to me a bit that the older and bigger the company, the more grumpy dudes in gray suits sit in board rooms shooting down ideas related to modern and social marketing. I was pretty impressed...

My Type-A Mom Interview at LuckyStartups.com

I was recently interviewed by the cool web site, Lucky Startups, about Type-A Mom. I really enjoyed it, and it provided me a chance to talk about why I created Type-A Mom and my mission there to, one day, be a site where any mom can make a decent living working from home, have more quality time with...

Blog Kharma

I always find it a little interesting that some people are stingy. It seems to be a natural web inclination to be a tightwad with linking, or promoting others, or sending people to other sites (even *gasp* competing sites). Here is the thing that I’ve practiced, and it has not only allowed me to...

Job Hunting 2.0 - How One Mom Landed Her Dream Job on Twitter

If you have even taken the slightest peek and my blog or my tag cloud, you know there are a couple subjects that get me going.

Hire Me

I am a bit of a jane-of-all-trades when it comes to the web. That’s pretty much based on doing web writing, web editing, web site building and web socializing since the early 1990s. (Find out more about me, find out what people are saying about me, or you can contact me. Here are some of my...

Social Networks Aren’t So Easy to Ignore

Wow, I didn’t expect evidence one day later after I argued social networks are here to stay despite some burn-out. I had cited gapingvoid’s decision to ditch Twitter because it was too time consuming. Well, he’s back on Twitter already. I decided I just had to follow. Why is he back?...

Social Networking Burn-Out

I’m seeing a pretty sudden and pretty prominent trend in social networking: social networking burn-out. As great as Web 2.0 is, it isn’t that surprising that people are burning out on it. There was a ton of attention when gapingvoid posted a funny cartoon about time being consumed tweeting...
