The Crowd-Sourced Menu

Technology, Social Media and the power of online social networks is a very healthy concoction to help you accomplish your health goals for 2010.

I was stuck, and it was my own fault. After a long flight delay, I found myself in New York City, walking toward one of the most challenging places in which to find a healthy meal: Times Square. Beyond pizza, hot cashew nuts and a pastrami sandwich bigger than my head, I had no idea where to turn. So I turned to Twitter and sent out a request to my ...

A Conversation About Social Media Exploration With Jason Falls

Episode #184 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.

As I stated last week, I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. One of the main reasons I agreed to speak and attend this conference was because it was going to finally be my chance to meet Jason Falls from Social Media Explorer in our protein forms. We had been following one another for y...

Being There

So many smart people Blogging and Tweeting about so many great ways to set goals for 2010 (and while we're on the topic, Happy New Year!). It's one of those things that should make you smile about the power of Blogs, Twitter , etc...

As each year passes, I do like to reflect back on the year that was and contemplate how the next year might be better. The basics are a given (health, family, friends, etc...), but it can get slippery when thinking about the practical and realistic professional g...

Six New Business Books For 2010

The face of reading took a dramatic turn during this holiday season, and we're not just talking about those of us who have seen the stack of books next to our nightstand continue to rise as the gifts flow in.

The news is much bigger than any one of us. Amazon announced that their e-reader, Kindle, became the most gifted item in Amazon's history. On top of that, sales of digital books for the Kindle actually outsold those of physical books on Amazon this past Christmas Day (since writing...

Time To Think

Now is the time to slow down. To step away from the Twitter. To take a break from Blogging... or, maybe not.

Where do ideas come from? Do they hit you in the shower? While on a long walk? How do you document your thoughts or revelations? Personally, this Blog is where all of my personal brain matter ideation gets dumped. Some of it never makes it here (it sits on scraps of paper, in the notes section on my iPhone or in one of many Moleskin notebooks scattered throughout my house, offices...

The Lowdown On Audio Podcasting

Interested in starting your own audio Podcast?

There seems to be a slight rise in interest in audio podcasting and its value in the Marketing (and Personal Branding) food chain. There was this article, Voices Kept In Tune, in the Montreal Gazette business section published yesterday that was written by Steve Faguy about some fairly well-known local radio DJs who have taken to Podcasting. On top of that, back in April, some interesting statistics on the growth and audience of Podcast...

Blog Secrets Revealed

One of the best ways to grow your Blog audience it to create tantalizing headlines that will get people curious, clicking, reading and sharing (like the one above).

The truth is that it's not just a great technique for Blogs. It's a great technique for anything you do with the written word (be it articles, email newsletters and more). There are countless business books that cover the topic of creating and nurturing a great Blog platform and the content that goes along with it, but most of...

A Conversation About Blogging, Twitter And Community With Liz Strauss

Episode #183 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.

I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz' Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this month. Saul Colt (who definitely is The Smartest Man In The World!) was kind enough to introduce me to someone who I have been following (both their Blog and onTwitter) for many years. Liz Strauss is a fireball of insight and knowledge about the digital...

Instapaper Is A Must

There's nothing new about online bookmarking. What makes Instapaper so amazing is not what it has... but rather what it doesn't have.

If you've dabbled with tools like Delicious and Google Bookmarks, then you know that there is no lack of online (and free) tools to help you organize your online content and share it with others. Instapaper has been around for a while, but what makes it that much more powerful is how well it now integrates with an e-reader and the iPhone. That's the real win h...
