Why I Love Social Media
In the spirit of February, and the lovely holiday that comes smack in the middle of it, I decided to squeeze my chubby self into a loin cloth, grab my bow and arrows, and spread why I love social media.
1. Because It’s Changed Everything
Remember about ten years ago, when people were getting canned for being on social media? Sites like MySpace and Blogspot were blocked in nearly every workplace, and the topic du jour among HR types was how those sites were making millennials even more unproductive.

The Argument for Simplicity in 2013
I am simply not a fan of the considerable amounts of “What’s Coming in 2013″ and “2012 in Review” posts that come across every platform I read – it was a barrage of blogs and data/stats that made my eyes hurt, and didn’t teach me much. It made me wonder what I should be doing better, to differentiate myself and the brands I manage. Here’s my personal list of resolutions:
*No Tweeting/Facebooking from the wrong account. Managing a million will give you heartburn. I had one (dumb and easily fixed, but still) mistake in 2012, looking for a big fat ZERO in 2013.
*No typos. Ditto to above. Triple/quadruple checks of all written things for polish and precision. Correcting and complaining about the grammar of others is only permissible if your own content is professional and error free.
Internet Killed the Video Star: How YouTube is Changing the Music Industry
Even if you don’t recognize the name, you probably know the group Walk Off the Earth from the video spectacle called “5 people, 1 guitar” which was seen on YouTube more than 100 million times and earned the band an appearance on Ellen.
