SOCIAL MEDIA: AREN’T THESE CHARACTERISTICS YOUR GIFT TO OTHERS?
Yesterday, one of my legal marketing colleagues, Kevin O’Keefe, owner of LexBlog, wrote about Sree Sreenivasan, pronounced “sree sree-knee-VAH-sun,” a Professor at Columbia University, who is also the school’s first Chief Digital Officer.

BRAND EQUITY: ARE YOU THE BEACH BALL?

Someone from a well-known service provider left a voicemail message for me yesterday afternoon, telling me I had signed up for their webinar, and was not able to make it, so he was… “…calling to follow up to see what your interest was as far as social media……” To encourage discussion, I posted a comment about this on Twitter, LinkedIn and …
