In a meeting yesterday someone suggested that we start using Twitter more as a company. I explained that I still wasn't sure what the application would be. For instance, who is interested in me (as an example) that much that they would want to know Read More...

I was reading an article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about Heather Armstrong , a blogger mom who has one of the top parenting blogs online. Well, maybe not a parenting blog per se. A blog she writes, as a parent. I think her blog's success Read More...

Another day comes to an end in Prague and this one was quite rewarding actually. I will be the first to admit that I was very uncertain about unleashing on my communications peers from around the world a panel of IBO bloggers who have varied histories Read More...

When I went to Loyalist College in Canada back in the 1980s, it was to study Print Journalism. We learned how to be two-way journalists (print and photo) and to do layout and more ... basically everything you'd need to know to do community journalism. Read More...
Welcome to the Beta Mom!

It's great to finally have Lynn here in the Zone with her Beta Mom blog . She doesn't give herself enough credit to be an Alpha Mom, but that's what makes her so great -- humbleness and self deprecation. Kinda like Kathy Griffin whose cable Read More...
A Year in the Zone

Happy Birthday O'zoners, and congratulations on a great first year! I just read David Prescott's musings in Code Review and have to agree, it does seem like much longer than a year for the Opportunity Zone. Well, for me that's especially true Read More...
How companies treat blogs ...

Category: , , ,
It's amazing to me that some companies still don't understand that blogs and social media are a force to be reckoned with ... that there's power in the collective opinion of the masses connected only by their web access and their common interests. Read More...

Do you have a Google alert set up for your name? I do. No, it's not vanity (well, maybe a little). But if my name does appear in another blog or in a news piece, it's work-related and I want to see what others are saying about me, just like I Read More...

Today we say farewell to our beauty editor here at Quixtar. Tonya resigned to pursue personal interests, and we wish her well in her new endeavors. We're happy that she will continue to lend her talents to us from time to time as a contractor, including Read More...

No, I'm not jumping the gun and skipping all of fall to go straight to winter. Actually, it's been in the 80s all this week, so snow and sleet are the last things on our minds here in Michigan. Actually, I'm posting about the "snowball" Read More...

Due to all the legal activities going on, we haven't been able to say too much here in the Opportunity Zone lately. There's lots I wish we could talk about, but we certainly wouldn't want to say or do things that hurt our legal position. Check Read More...
The Editors

Within the walls of Quixtar (and beyond), some have mistakenly assumed that my role as Manager of the PR and Editorial groups makes me some sort of "chief editor" for the company. If my clumsy blog writing style hasn't already made this Read More...

Greetings from N'awlins. It's been a fascinating couple of days, and we're not done yet! But, whew, my presentation is done and it went very well. Now I can focus on learnings. Right now I'm sitting in on a fascinating presentation about Read More...

So, here I am sitting on the floor in a breakout room listening to a presentation about social media support for Jeep. Interesting stuff. Earlier heard from one of Ice.com founders about their upcoming IceTV channel at YouTube. Looks like it should be Read More...
