The Constant Devaluation of Social Media (and Entrepreneurship)

May 10, 2010

This week I attend the Networking Phoenix signature event that happens quarterly. Well executed, and full of bodies (certainly well over the 800 that had RSVP’d online) I have to say a kudos to Gelie for her hard work and making her concept come to life over the last year.  Of course, like any other [...]

You’re Using Twitter Wrong (and Other Egotistical Stuff Social Media Experts Claim)

February 18, 2010

Let’s be honest, us “social media experts” are a bit arrogant.

November 20, 2006

One of the most interesting parts about living in Arizona is this sometimes well under promoted group of technology and marketing minds that have come from all over the country and are now trying to apply their years of experience and mind share into a market that is sometimes well behind the times.
