Lately I’ve run into a few blogs and Facebook Pages that don’t allow visitors to comment. This isn’t typically an accident as it can only be done by deliberately going into one’s settings and choosing this feature. From a marketing, customer service, leadership, product and service development, and human perspective, I don’t think this is a wise business decision. Why? …
THE SEARCH FOR YOU
Because Social Media and Social Networking revolve around connection to other people, which then leads to developing relationships, it’s important to monitor activity that is directly related to you.

Don’t Be A Hit And Run!
One of the marketing messages I use to communicate with my clients the Myrland Marketing Moment. As the name implies, it is a very short marketing message that only takes a moment to read.

The Great Legal Marketing Tweetup of 2010
In case you haven’t experienced a Tweetup, or aren’t even sure what one is, let me help. Tweetups are simply an in-person meet up of Twitter users in a given geographic area.

IT’S TIME TO INVEST
A few times a week, I send out short marketing words of wisdom on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter called Myrland Marketing Moments. They are always fewer than 120 characters as I want to leave room for those kind enough to share, or ReTweet, them on Twitter. Twitter only allows us 140 characters, so leaving space for others to add their …
TWITTER BASICS – DON’T EVER FEEL DUMB!
I’m a member of a group on LinkedIn called Social Media Marketing.
