I decided not to use Blog Talk Radio for podcasting as I felt the quality was not that great, and that if I needed to go over a minute or two, this was an issue. I will note that I may be a little...

Back in November of 2011, I wrote a rather glowing review of a new social application called Buffer (Why Not “Buffer” Your Social Posts – A Review), and have been a loyal user ever since. I’ve even recommended it to numerous clients and friends to help with their social media planning. And I have no [...]

As the state’s lead agency for addressing childhood nutrition, the Texas Department of Agriculture has established many programs to ensure that healthy foods are available and easily accessible to kids in need throughout the state. TDA looked to AMS Pictures to increase awareness and expand participation in its Summer Food Service Program, which provides free nutritious meals to children 18 years of age and under through public and private schools, camps, municipal and country agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

I head off to sunny Orlando on Saturday morning to take my part in the annual IBM jamboree about all things Lotus/ICS.

Last year the focus was very much on establishing social business as being a force for the improvement of business. Much was made of the disappearance of the Lotus brand and everyone had something to say about the Opening General Session.

This year I hope the focus will be more on delivering tangible business benefits and bearing-down on differentiating IBM as being thought leaders n the area of collaboration together with being a wise and safe choice to spend the increasingly tight funds in any organisation in the name of improvement.

I am sure we will be impressed by the many announcements to be made. I am see the OGS will be a great deal better than last year – well done IBM for listening – and I am sure I will get to the end pumped up with lots of good ideas for the rest of the year.

I want to share this video with you, it was created for communications semiconductor maker Broadcom Corporation – my employer – with a specific tie-in to the Consumer Electronics Show.

While the video may be a tad heavy on corporate messaging, in total it contains a LOT of cool data about our global interconnectedness resulting from the ubiquity of the Internet and smart phones.

Some of the stats in the video will likely trigger your thinking with respect to other stats that could have been added. If you would like to share those, please do so.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

If you really like it, please share it with your friends.

Every time I have to go through a redesign of my website as my business evolves, I wonder, ‘Why do I need a website’? Let me start off by saying, I have a service business NOT a product business that necessitates an e-commerce site. In the latter case, a website is the ideal platform for [...]

What is the purpose of an RSS feed? That is one of many questions I get from people on a daily basis. I decided I would share. First, you have to understand what it is before I go onto explaining how...

Anyone who follows social media reads a lot of statistics, in the form of reports and infographics. Apparently, generating a report gives you credibility. That’s why we do it. But sometimes the “findings” in these reports are so generalized that they simply restate the obvious while dressing it up with an impressive sounding number. Hubspot, [...]
