I had the opportunity to speak with a fantastic group of folks last week at the Bristol Chamber of Commerce with Steve Willinger. The topic was Marketing, and we focused on the use of social media. I took a shot at blogging (check out my blogging slide deck) and Steve spoke on Twitter and Facebook...

I’m a hot-headed person in reality. When I get mad, I’m pretty mad. It’s bad, but it’s in my DNA. The challenge is working with it. A manager I used to confide in a manager I had the pleasure of working with several years ago, and we talked about that problem. What h...

We all like photos, right? We use them on our websites. We use them in our blogs. We share them with friends and family. Up until recently, in order to work with these photos, we needed to purchase some image editing software, which was often overkill for what we needed to do...

Have you ever wondered how much of you has made it into Google? If you have a website, a Twitter account, a Facebook account, and if others are linking to any of that, Google is indexing that stuff every day. Why is this important? Well, because it’s you . . . and anybody can find it. ...

A couple years ago, there was no ThoseGeeks blog. There was one simple reason–I didn’t like writing. It wasn’t that I hated writing, but I was a little afraid of putting it out there for the world to see. In writing for business, we’re tasked with writing for real people. The wr...
